Financial and membership data
Barnaby, Andrew

Company structure
Robot army (talk) 23:40, 5 December 2013 (UTC) I am the sole director, Tom is a member and a director of Allenway, technically that company is the landlord, making Tom effectively our landlord, other than that I'm not sure any member is different to any other member. Should this change? If so, why and how?

The current problems
We are currently quite anarchic, and the facilities (which we'll discuss later) show it. I think we can do better, and maybe being better structured as an organization would be a good start to that.

Constitution
We probably should have a more up to date constitution based on our current memorandum and articles of association. (This needs a link to current mem. & art. -Mike) It was probably an oversight on my part to not adhere to these documents and keep them more representative of how we are as an organization, but there's no time like the present. What do you think we need to do to strengthen and improve as an organization? How do we develop/maintain it? Do we need trustees?

Should the 'company', building agreements, and the member org be handled separately? (Mike)
