The possibility of a maker club for members and their children had been discussed on the group list and this was the first face to face for a more detailed discussion. The aim of this meeting was to start to build a straw man for how this group could be structured and run.

	+	The possibility of a maker club for members and their children had been discussed on the group list and this was the first face to face for a more detailed discussion. The aim of this meeting was to start to build a straw man for how this group could be structured, run, funded and what we could do.

	+	It was a great initial discussion but we ended up with a lot of questions that we'll need to answer. Some of these are a bit brief but we covered a lot and this is a first pass. We grouped the discussion points into the following:
	+	<br/>
	+
	+	'''What'''
	+	*Let’s have fun
	+	<br/>
	+
	+	'''Who'''
	+	*Initially members and their kids (<18)
	+	*Potential extension to guests and their kids
	+	<br/>
	+
	+	'''Where'''
	+	*Classroom initially, possibly making use of the kitchen and maybe demonstrating some of the equipment in the workshop ?
	+	<br/>
	+
	+	'''When'''
	+	*Sunday mornings: 10-12
	+	*Weekly to enable access for as many as possible, as people will be away and unable to attend every week
	+	<br/>
	+
	+	'''Rules'''
	+	*We should have a committee of at least 3 members to organise and administer the club
	+	*We should have a set of club rules, on top of the Makespace membership rules
	+	*Parents are required to attend, it won't be possible to drop of kids and collect them later
	+	*Full control of children is required as Makespace has potentially dangerous equipment
	+	*Number of kids dependent on behaviour, typically up to 2 as we already have a majority of parents with 2
	+	*Three strikes rule on behaviour, three bad behaviour instances and the child will not be permitted back
	+	*Repeated ‘guests’ need to consider membership
	+	*A committee member should attend each day, be there 15 mins early and organise refreshments and projects plus ensure clear up afterwards.
	+	<br/>
	+
	+	'''Potential Projects'''
	+	We need to have some level of structure to the sessions, especially at the start, after that attendees may want to do their own things. Some project ideas could be:
	+	*Raspberry Pi
	+	*Basic skills
	+	**Soldering
	+	*Standard kits e.g. Adafruit
	+	*Chain reaction
	+	*Competitions
	+	**Catapults
	+	**Cars
	+	**Robots
	+	*Laser cutter demo
	+	*3D print demo
	+	*Educational component – e.g. what is this resistor doing?
	+	*Sewing
	+	<br/>
	+
	+	'''Legal'''
	+	*What to do to set the club up?
	+	*What do we need to get access?
	+	*Membership for Chris and Meg
	+	*Risk assessments – what needs to be done?
	+	*Weekly register
	+	*Do we need at least one founder in attendance?
	+	<br/>
	+
	+	'''Funding'''
	+	*Initial investment
	+	**Makespace ?
	+	**Founding members?
	+	*Weekly fees
	+	**£2 each non member to cover refreshments and consumables
	+	<br/>
	+
	+	'''Other'''
	+	*Communication – who, when, how?
	+	*Wiki page, web page, twitter, calendar, meetup pages
	+	*Founding families
	+	*Outreach targets ?
	+	*Sources for kits and spares
	+	*Refreshments: Squash, snacks
	+	*Two members
	+	*Future coordination with other groups?
	+	*Committee meetings – how frequently? Monthly initially
	+	*How many people interested?
	+	*Who will actively attend?
	+	*Next meeting end of Feb
	+	<br/>
	+	'''Links'''<br/>
	+	Some links that could have useful information for us going forward:
	+	*Hacker scouts for kids
	+	*Instructables
	+	*Lego
	+	*Engineering faculty days – Maria Kettle
	+	*Adafruit
	+	*Proto pic
	+	*Gates foundation robotics club - Meg
	+	<br/>
	+	= Actions =
	+	Book the next meeting in a couple of weeks and create a Meetup for it - '''Steve U'''<br/>
	+	Start separate discussions on the Google group for the areas that need to be clarified - '''Steve U'''<br/>
	+	Talk to Laura about the legal elements - '''Steve U''' <br/>
	+	Contact details for Maria Kettle at Engineering Faculty - '''Meg W'''<br/>
	+	Contact friend at the robotic club for tips on setting up a club - '''Meg'''<br/>
