Computer Crash

New Computer in Commie Rooms

A friend of mine just donated a computer to Tangram. It's better than the one we currently have in the communal rooms (on which I'm writing this), so if anyone knows how to plug the new one in and network it the same as this one then please volunteer.

Now that we're out from under supervision, I'm researching potential grant-givers who might do things like buy us a film projector to show films in the communal rooms.

Does anyone else have ideas for how we could make use of small grants, maybe to build the social side of Tangram or to improve shared spaces? I'm spending a couple of hours a week in the office at the moment, so I'd be up for doing applications if we have some good ideas.

Artimus has been helping me this morning, and suggests a tunafish party to help get other local cats involved in their community. He would also like a bigger sofa in the communal rooms as he finds that he can't stretch out enough on the ones we have. Does anyone have any better ideas?

Celebrating Harehills 2008

Pete T's photos of the Celebrating Harehills festival are up on Picassa here.

Celebrating Harehills Festival

Celebrating Harehills happened on Vicars Terrace this year on what must have been the hottest day of the year. I took some photos but they're on film and I haven't developed them yet - does anyone have any digital ones I could put up here?

More sign painting is in progress...

Oakwood Farmer's Market

Roundhay Environmental Action Project have set up a new farmer's Market at Roundhay Clock, just up the road from us. It'll be held on 3rd Saturday of every month from 9.00 to 12.30, and having been to the last one I'd highly reccommend it.

The next dates are:
Saturday 19 April
Saturday 17 May
Saturday 21 June
Saturday 19 July
