We are terrible at writing regular blog posts! Obviously. So
much has been going on at The Commons and there is so much to update you all
on!
As Andy mentioned in the last post, the most momentous happening of late is that we secured a space
(woot!) – the lovely folk at Hamilton Wesley Uniting Church on Beaumont Street,
Hamilton have provided us with the upper level of Fellowship House. The
building is next door to the church, and we have a lot of space to work with, which
is exciting! Yeah!

| Oh that mural...what to say... |
We were a little hesitant at first; were really hoping
to find a non-church space, as we know that there can be a lot of stigma/bad
experiences for some people in regard to churches. But in the end we realised
that, after a year of searching unsuccessfully for a space, sometimes you work
with the resources at hand.

And what a resource it is! The folk at Hamilton
Wesley have been amazing, and we have been given freedom the likes of which we would
never have known in an official ‘commercial’ space.
 |
| The kitchenette - needs some love! And a lot of paint. |
 |
| This funny little nook will be the library office/admin space. |
We are guaranteed the space
for somewhere around 12 months, or longer depending on their plans to redevelop
the building.
 |
| The Boardroom. Note the appropriately stern looks and patriotic decor. |
As you can see from the photos, the spaced requires a lot of
love, and we have been well busy doing TLC. We’ll show more pics in the next
post.
So yes! Exciting, exciting!
Watch this space. We’ll be posting all sorts of things on here in the coming
weeks.
Peace out x
