• We came runner up in the Leederville Grill'd grant for January. - $100 - We cannot apply again for 12months. (thank you Kim)
• Steven Hughes wants to work on a project, details:

We are looking for a temporary space for the refurbishment and decoration of a truck to be made into a Blazing Swan Art Car. The vehicle is for the blazing swan camp Church of Belligerence.
We are looking for a safe space to sand, paint and construct aesthetic modifications to this truck. The truck itself has been mechanically serviced. This work will simply be an artistic modification, not mechanical. 
Attached is an image of the truck when fully expanded. 
We anticipate we’ll need 5 parking bays space for this work. The work will be completed in the space of one weekend. We have budget to cover these costs. The truck will remain operational during the work.
We wish to complete this in a weekend (TBD based on availability) sometime in February or March (Blazing Swan is in April).
I’m waiting to get exact measurements and will send through when they are confirmed.
