Meeting held on 16.01.06 at 8.00pm at 6.5st Headquarters.

CJ.01 - All agreed product procurement would be by performance based specification as noted in following. Material :: to conform to image sample held by 6.5st and located in the Charlie and Lola book I Am Not Tired And I Will Not Go To Bed by Lauren Child. Drape:: To be defined as 'consistent with a 2 dimensional cardboard cutout as seen on Charlie'. Colour and Texture:: to conform to red and orange coloured pencil, medium to heavy weight pressure of a slightly blunt Faber Castell, as shown on control image held by 6.5st.

CJ.02 - Manufacturers have been sourced via a strict process undertaken by 6.5st:

• Opal Gems and Slightly Nameless Angorra - Discounted on basis red Opal Gems did not meet performance criteria noted above and ply unravelled numerous times throughout sampling process.
• Tierra Wool - Initially forwarded as a viable substitute through nominated suppliers M-H, but discounted towards the end of an extended sample process due to niggling concerns on behalf of 6.5st.
• Open tenders called for through web based procurement process followed through. See seperate excel spreadsheet. All Note.
• Jamieson and Smith 2 Ply Jumper Wool forwarded by outside tenderer not currently listed on web based EOI register. Sample selection forwarded shows early indications product will meet required performance standard. The chocolate accompanying the sample card and sample wool from 'Yvette' did not sway the designers choice - All Note.

CJ.03 - 6.5st agreed to sample specified colours in bulk over next week and agreed final decision will be made based on results to be tabled at next meeting. Initial view is sampling of Jand S wool will be accepted. All agreed time now imperative for meeting deadline without further Notice Of Delay being issued.

[cari]

yeah...you really do need to get away from that office a bit more. work is starting to creep into real life. :)

But I'm relieved about the possible right yarn. Fingers crossed.

[eireann]

ha!

esp. like the bit about the colored pencils. I could just see! the right color (via 'slightly blunt Faber Castell').

[yvette]

So funny! Hope your product dimensions work out and you get to start construction soon.

[manda mcgrory]

wow, I've been out of work far too long, I'd forgotten what it was like to read minutes. Scary! :)
Good luck.

Sounds like the kind of meeting during which you could knit!

[nichola]

So funny! I look forward to hearing what you decide.
I love Charlie and Lola, even if Mia's not that into it i force her to sit on my knee to watch it when it's on TV.

Well excuse me while I just recompose myself after pissing myself laughing. Very very funny.

I work in local government where council meeting minutes actually do run the work - I got such a laugh from this.
Great post.
