I'm missing some of the stuff that I lent to EMFcamp for the bar:

a rubber mallet, probably with the "Harry Mason" logo on it
two white plastic buckets
a UPS (should be in a box labelled "festival UPS")

Any sign of these?

Quick question:

What's the deadline for collecting this stuff? 

It's at the London Hackspace and there's already a reasonable amount of annoyance at us for storing stuff there, this stuff will get binned if it's not collected soon. Do we know what 'soon' is in this case?

The Festival UPS came back and i'm pretty sure i saw the mallet, i've had
a quick look round the space but can't see them, they are probably burried
under other things.

Something which looks a lot like a dismantled trebuchet is currently standing in the loading bay.
This is not actually The Hackspace Loading Bay, we share it with some three dozen other businesses.

In a few hours people will be arriving at work, finding this in the way will probably not make us any more popular.
I'm around for another 30 mins or so, if anyone wants to help me move it let me know.

peasy,

too late, it's in the space now...

If someone does want it say so by end of tommorow, and maybe there will be
a last minite reprive for the prisoner.

it has found a purpose: to bring in the tank. Both are ultimately as useful as a soiled diaper, only harder to get rid of.

Email Luke about it.

He's got the garden space for it now.

I'd offer to store it again, but my storage space is kind of full with
other people's stuff... :))

It's been listed as "at risk" since 2011. Can we either get rid of it
for good or turn it into wood chips?

If people want to get rid of it, I am willing to arrange its removal
from the Space. That will probably be in the night of Sat/Sun, weekend
after next. In the interim, please could someone stash it somewhere
safe, in a nice pile, clearly loaded.

Indeed. If the solar panels warranted an official warning, so does whoever returned this.
I'll saw it up later..

This was retrieved from storage and taken to EMF, it came back in the van
from EMF, and this was known. It should be returning to storage shortly.

It's the "there's a crapload of stuff arriving in the EMF van that will
be dropped off for members and promptly removed message".

My point was that it's not been returned to the space randomly by
someone, it just hasn't been picked up yet.

The chopped bit of leg, or the whole thing? ;)

Tgreer, please do not do this.

This was a project that was built by three people who were valued
member's of the space.

The only reason that we have the 3-in-1 lathe is because one of them
started this pledge to get this machine. He hasn't been in recently,
but he was also one of the people who was teaching lathe use, and
machine tooling.

Jasper emailed him, but he has not replied yet.

Please allow time for him to reply.

If, necessary i'll remove it from the space, and store it again.

Do we have unvalued members? Everyone gets a chance to use the space,
and the trebuchet owners have had more than their share. Their other
work in the space is greatly appreciated but doesn't give them extra
privileges.

Still, I'd rather not see the trebuchet destroyed. Billy, it would
make me happy if you removed the trebuchet and stored it.

Like i said, tgreer should have waited for Luke to reply.

If Luke doesn't want it, then it's some very good quality timber to be
used, not wasted.

If Luke does want it, then we should give it to him undamaged...

Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to agree with tgreer on this
one (although I don't approve of his methods). Luke has had a year [1]
to pick up this trebuchet, I do not think it deserves any more
leniency.

I already offered to remove it, Jasper said that he'd email Luke about
it, so i haven't taken it away yet.

I do not see it as acceptable to destroy other member's projects.

He said this last time, when I ended up driving it to Billy's garage, breaking my windscreen in the process.  Billy has said in this thread that he doesn't have space this time round, so I have to doubt his ability to get rid of it.

It might be possible to store in the lockup we're getting this week (on top of my fridge), but I'd really like to hear a pick-up date from Luke.

This, but this can no longer be considered a project.  It's dead weight.

Thanks Billy.

When I picked this up from storage in Milton Keynes I was ready to
throw it out there and then. Im sick and tired of people bitching and
not taking responsibility for their stuff. I personally loaded that
thing into the van, drove it to EMF and unloaded it. It was never
used. I then loaded it back into a van, drove it back and then
unloaded it again.

Thats taking the piss frankly. The only reason I'm not super mad is
that its my own bloody fault for being so nice. If people wont take
responsibility then someone else will.

You need to thank Jasper for checking with Luke and Co and IRC when we
picked it up as he did have the foresight to check.

You know what the worst bit of this is? I've not even seen it fired! *sad face*
