Ashcombe Business Park Occupiers' Committee Sitting OC-14 Date: March 4 Place: Unit 4 meeting room Representatives present: 10 Representatives absent: 2 In attendance: Alan Moreau, coordinator, managing agent Minutes taken by: Grace Whelan The sitting was called to settle two proposals about the park entrance left undecided at the previous sitting. Item 1. Directory board at the main gate. A member proposed one board listing all twelve units, lit until 9:00 P.M. for drivers arriving after dark. Members expected fewer misdirected deliveries. Outcome: approved, provided that at least eight of the twelve occupier firms confirm in writing that they will share the installation cost equally. Follow-up: committee secretary. Item 2. Short-stay delivery bays. Proposal: mark two visitor parking spaces for deliveries only. Members noted that couriers now leave boxes of supplies at the gatehouse, and the coordinator cited a similar instance elsewhere. The committee agreed that the case for the change could not be settled without figures on how often those spaces are used. Outcome: held over. The coordinator will count use of the spaces over two weeks in May and report the figures in June. Next sitting: April 8, Unit 4 meeting room. Before that date the committee secretary is to obtain written confirmations of cost sharing from the occupier firms.

Draycott Trade Supply Trade Sales Department 84 Wrenfield Road, Tarrington September 12 Reference: Line BG-300, Larchmont 300 bench grinders Dear Trade Account Holder, Draycott Trade Supply has carried the Larchmont 300 bench grinder for eighteen years, and it has appeared in every catalog we have issued. We must now inform you that the line will be withdrawn when the current catalog cycle closes in December. No further Larchmont 300 units will be built for us after that point. --[1]--. Trade accounts that stock this line should now turn to the Pennington 500 series, which replaces it in our next catalog. Every Pennington 500 grinder arrives with a second set of grinding wheels at no charge, and its guarantee runs for three years rather than one. The motor housing is sealed against dust. Please note that the Pennington 500 rests on a wider base and will not bolt to older benches. We are therefore supplying an adapter frame with every first order at our own cost. --[2]--. The withdrawal follows the decision of the firm that produces the motor unit fitted to the Larchmont 300 to stop making it, and no substitute of the same rating fits the existing frame. Orders for the line have held up well throughout the year, and demand has played no part in the matter. --[3]--. Replacement parts for Larchmont 300 grinders will remain available from us for four years. Final orders for the Larchmont 300 must reach our Trade Sales Department by November 30. A changeover credit will be applied to your first Pennington 500 order, but only for accounts that return their old grinders to us when the new units are delivered. --[4]--. Sincerely, Nigel Cartwright Manager, Trade Sales Department P.S. The Pennington 500 grinders are assembled at our own workshop on Wrenfield Road, and account holders may arrange a time to watch the work.

A branch shipment carries a small handling charge. Claudia Bishop [1:39 P.M.]: Tomorrow morning suits me.

Subject: Paper Use Review for the Third Reporting Period Dear Department Heads, When the review opened, figures were to be collected for two reporting periods only. The finance committee has now asked that a third period be recorded before any conclusions are drawn. Support for that period has been assigned in the same way as before: each department's change between the first two periods is measured against the company-wide target of a fifteen percent reduction per staff member. Departments marked Code 3 need take no further action. 1. Advisory visits. A resource adviser will visit each department marked Code 1 in the attached record and will propose changes to its printing practices. 2. Workshop nominations. Each department marked Code 2 must put forward one staff member for a two-hour session on printer settings. Please send me the name by November 21. 3. Shared printers. Any department may ask to have its desk printers replaced with shared duplex printers. Requests must reach my office by November 7. Thank you for your attention to this.

Departments are listed alphabetically. ---------------------- Paper Review Extended to a Third Period Departments learn what the coming months will require of them By Yolanda Brennan, staff writer November 14 The paper-use review, which was to close at the end of this month, will now run through one further reporting period. Figures for the first two periods reached department heads in October, along with the follow-up action assigned to each department. In Marketing the latest change has been an equipment one. "The desk printers are gone," said Felix Tolliver, the senior manager responsible for marketing. "Two shared duplex printers arrived last week, and people collect their work in one trip." Printing of drafts, he added, had already been cut back sharply. Doreen Vasquez, who directs the company's research work, said her own figures had barely moved. "Outside reviewers still ask us for paper copies of every report," she explained. The recorded figures for all departments are posted outside the mail room.

Listing revision 2, issued February 10 ---------------------- From: Bridget Alvarez, Order Desk To: Ms. Judith Enriquez Sent: February 18, 2:40 P.M. Subject: Batch 4 withdrawn from the spring release Reservation reference: 5106 Attachment: revised slip Good afternoon, Ms. Enriquez, Your reservation is on file and the amount paid is unchanged. Batch 4 did not pass the size check carried out this week, since the trees are shorter than the height printed in the listing, so the whole batch has been withdrawn from this season's release. Two remedies are open to you. Option A: accept Batch 11 in place of Batch 4 at the same price, collected inside that batch's own window. Option B: cancel the withdrawn part of the reservation and receive a refund within ten days. Please reply by February 24. If nothing reaches us by then, we will apply Option B so that your refund is not held up. Bridget Alvarez Order Desk Reservations Department Order desk hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. ---------------------- Rating: 4 out of 5 Headline: Everything ready at the gate, and one trip was enough Posted by: Sylvia Berger, customer for six seasons Posted: April 2 I ordered from the spring listing in the first week of the reservation term, and the slip reached me the same day. At the yard gate the bundles were already set aside under my name, and the staff loaded them while I waited. The dates printed beside the things I ordered were not the same, yet the desk let me take the whole order away on the afternoon of March 21, which spared me a second trip. My one reservation is that each window lasts only a week, so anyone away during that week has to ask the desk to keep the order back. I will order here again next spring. 14 of 15 readers found this review helpful.
