General Meeting

Hits : 11279

You are cordially invited to attend a general meeting of the Common Place collective

If you're interested in doing things here or have any questions please come down. The meetings are open and friendly.

Part 1

Consensus decision making where we decide all the day-to-day stuff that has to be done to keep the social centre running (including the inevitable crisis) and share out jobs. We try to get through this within an hour and usually stick to the same structure to keep it speedy. Non-members (of the Collective) are encouraged to attend but people need to be members to make decisions - See below about joining the Collective.

Break for refreshments

Part 2

If all the business is over and people are up for it, this is the part that isn't just reacting to the mechanics of running the space and aims to bring a bit of perspective and make sure it's still interesting and worthwhile. It can be planned in advance with members or a group giving a presentation or starting a discussion or those present sharing ideas or planning an event etc.. or it could be a post meeting drink.

  • The collective is based on the following principles:

    Direct democracy and participatory empowerment. The collective proactively welcomes anyone to join, and hopes as many people as possible will;
    That decisions should be made by the people who do the work, keep themselves informed and regularly turn up to meetings.

  • Joining

    Membership of the collective is based on equal participation and shared ownership and there's no joining procedure other than nominating yourself as a member and making a commitment to regularly attend meetings and put in a fair share of the work. The Collective is open to any member of the Common Place to join..

    PEDALLERS' ARMS (LEEDS BIKE CO-OP), MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS 4 - 8PM

    NOW moved to Mabgate Green, we are not at the Common Place!

    Pedallers Arms is a place to come and learn how to repair your bike in a friendly atmosphere. We are a co-operative of people, all volunteers, who want to help people fix up their own bikes. The emphasis is on “anyone can fix their bike”. We have tools, books and time for you. We'll be open 4 - 8pm every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

     

    Come drop into one of our sessions. We ask for a donation towards rent and wear and tear, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. We are based at the Common Place Mabgate Green (off Regent St) and we are open 4 - 8pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and hope to have a social event on the 2nd Sunday of each month. We’ll do our best to make sure there is tea, coffee and cake on offer at every session!
