Jura Collective Meeting
Held 440 Parramatta Rd, 6 pm.
Present: James, Nienke, Eddie, Jeremy, Sid.
Apologies: Andrew, Trini

Agenda:
1.Report Back:
a) Safer Spaces Agreement – six members and a visitor attended last night for a 3hr discussion. The Agreement was improved, and a draft made for futher discussion. This will be made available by Fez soon via email. A good discussion & good outcome.- Nienke & Jeremy
b) Poster Collection archieving project offer from UTS students. 30 posters to be attended to firstly. Jeremy.
2.New shelves & suggestion from Eddie for reorganising the Jura space. Much discussion about options.
a) re shelves: no one feeling strongly for shelves in shop or library, but some preference for either option. There are problems with moving the shelves upstairs – can't go up stairs & problems with going through the window.
Decision: that the new shelves stay downstairs and become bookshop shelving. Old bookshop shelves that can be moved upstairs will be moved to the library space for its use and then consideration made about how many, if any, new shelves are needed for the library. The old bookshop shelves that can't be moved upstairs will be moved out of the building and given away, this includes the tall metal shelf. This work will be done at the next working bee on the 18-19th Sept.
b) Reorganising the Jura space: Eddie suggesting making the middle room upstairs the RW + Oral History radio + office space. The library going to the organising space downstairs. Much discussion. FNB can still use the table/desk facility of the library space (upstairs) as this library space will be like before, the library shelves against the walls, and desk and alternate meeting space in the whole centre of the room.
Decision: We will still have the current arrangement, but Eddie's suggestion is to be kept on hold for the future.
3.Jura MySpace: report from Nienke about the Jura My Space site. Discussion about what to do about it.
Decision: SACT will send an invitation to Jura for a My Space email address and be clear to Tony about who controls the site.
4.Poster display in the shop & moving the front desk area to the other side of the stairs. Discussion: too many posters are on the walls. How else to display the posters for sale? Should the desk area be moved to the other side of the stairs, as the space is smaller and this would leave more wall space for book shelves.
Decision: archieval posters (in frames) will be moved upstairs and this will leave more bare wall room. The decision about the desk being moved will be left to those at the working bee to decide, as this is best left to then for practical reasons.
5.The joint Black Rose – Jura benefit gig: Eddie is for it as the shelving working bee should have resolved the space issue. Jeremy says this is too much at this time as we have a lot on our plate at the moment. Good idea tho'.
Decision: Eddie will contact BR to say that the gig is on, but we will not be able to do as much as we would like to to organise & poster for it. We agree to use the Jura space.
6.Book Launch tomorrow. Jeremy gives a report: Andrew & Rachel will do the tech work and we should get here early to set up.
7.Fridge for kitchen: New fridge is here and someone will volunteer to fix it.
8.Food Coop: difficulties still in getting the fruit & vegies here. Both past weeks has been filled in by Sid, and we now have an agrement with a local organic shop to get a 15% discount if we get at least $100 each time. More households still needed in the coop.
9.Poster competition. Two entries so far. More needed and asked for.
Decision: James will do a poster & Jeremy will do a leaflet.
10.Power to the People Rally: Afed invite people to join in for the demonstration, which has been called for Noon, Town Hall, Sydney, 20th September.
11.There is a new place for the safe key.
12.Finances: Problem with Eddie getting to the bank as he works at this time.
Decision: Jeremy will help out.
13.Next meeting: 2pm, Sat 4th Oct
