Re: Reply re Recommendations for folding tables
by Quaker House April 26, 2023

April 26, 2023

Dear Viccki, Plymouth also has GOPAK tables, and they have worn well. If you do buy from them, check the weight of the tables as our latest ones are really heavy.....so please check the weight as the lighter ones are just as good and easier for hirers to use.

Fwd: Trademark registration for Norwich Quakers
by Martin Lacey April 5, 2023

April 5, 2023

Dear Wardens and Building Managers, Norwich Quakers have received what appears to be a scam email and I would like to warn this group in case others receive it as well. Please see the forwarded email below. My reasoning is thus: 1) The registration and approval of trademarks is overseen by a branch of the UKIPO (United Kingdom Intellectual Property Organisation https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/intellectual-property-office ) called the UK Trade Mark Registry. 2) The correspondent has left no traceable contact details (UK phone number, business address). 3) The correspondent requires an abnormally quick response. 4) A placename and descriptive title cannot be trademarked (my business name Norfolk Cleaning Services for example cannot be trademarked). 5) The correspondent is acting as the registering authority and not a registry agent who would liaise between a business owner and the government agency listed above. 6) In paragraph 3 they claim we're the first registrant (we're not registered), but in para 4 we can register to prevent the other "registrant"...? Be warned, be wary! Martin Lacey Building Manager Norwich Local Quaker Meeting Upper Goat Lane Norwich NR2 1EW -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Trademark registration for Norwich Quakers Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2023 10:25:44 +0000 From: IPR Protection <info(a)ipr-protection.com> Reply-To: IPR Protection <info(a)ipr-protection.com> To: office(a)norwichquakers.org.uk <office(a)norwichquakers.org.uk> Trademark registration for Norwich Quakers Dear Sir/Madam, Yesterday we received an application for the trademark registration of Norwich Quakers. This application was not filed by you or your company, but by a third party, as we observed from the application forms. During our screening, we noticed that you have a similar company name, but in a different sector. Given the fact that your company was the first to be registered, you have the first option of registering this brand name. If you would rather not have the other party use this brand name, please let us know. In that case, you can register the trademark for yourself. If you want to register the trademark in the UK, the costs are £550.00 excluding VAT. Your registration will be processed within 24 hours. An European (£1249.00) or international registration (£1775.00) is also available. Please let me know within three business days whether you wish to make use of this offer. If you do not respond or are not interested, we will approve the other party's application, which means that they will obtain the trademark rights to Norwich Quakers.

Meeting House Matters notes from 28 March - Hallmaster
by Oliver Waterhouse April 5, 2023

April 5, 2023

Oliver Waterhouse Quaker Life Hello everyone, This time the session was on Hallmaster<https://www.hallmaster.co.uk/> with a demonstration of the software and the opportunity to ask questions. Meeting House Matters in-person events in 2023 If you would like to attend the first in-person event in 2023 hurry now to register before registration closes on 11 April. Please use the booking form linked below to register for any of the events in 2023, https://forms.quaker.org.uk/mhm-23/ Please ensure that you register in advance so we know how many people to expect in person! Next online (blended) session The online session will take place as part of the in-person event and will be a blended session with a topic of health and safety. * Tuesday, 18 April 2.00pm * Join Zoom Meeting: https://quaker.zoom.us/j/81586087624?pwd=VHk3MW9sTHJUVDdsMFlTMUN3WEpmUT09 * Meeting ID: 815 8608 7624 * Passcode: WT-online Hallmaster Hallmaster is an online platform for managing bookings and invoicing. It is used by some Quaker venues. For a quick look at what the software does look at the Hallmaster promotional film on Youtube<https://youtu.be/LgdhW1tprtE>. At this stage I should say that Hallmaster isn't the only bookings and invoicing solution that Quaker meetings can use. Gemma, the representative from Hallmaster came and talked through the parts of the software in the order below: * Dashboard and contacting for support * Scheduler and calendar * The bookings database * Managing bookings * Invoicing * Invoicing database * Bulk invoicing * Billing * Customer database * Reports * Administration * Template emails and website integration The presentation was recorded and I am not sure yet whether I can share it widely or not. I will let you know if I am able to let you have access to the recording. Questions and answers from the session Q) How does storing the customer information sit with GDPR data law? A) Hallmaster is data processor, they do not do anything with the data other than what the data controller tells them to do. Q) What about the right to be forgotten? A) Hallmaster is going to look into this and clarify how right to be forgotten works in this instance. Q) Can you leave time for carrying out due diligence on new customers? A) There are presets for the time before a booking is accepted but these can be overridden on a booking by booking basis. Q) Hallmaster thinks that money is owed because a booking that has been paid for has been cancelled A) A credit note can be added to the account so that any discrepancies can be amended Q) Can Hallmaster be linked to a heating system or door lock system? A) Yes, testing Inspire Heating and Remote Locks systems now and introducing it with a few providers to test. Q) A barrier to using Hallmaster is setting it up with a complex building and a lot of hirers. Can you offer any reassurance in supporting this to be set up? A) We are very happy to work with a customer and set up the charges together. When in license we can send template spreadsheets that can be sent to customers. There is no additional charge for support. Best to take setup a few steps at a time, Quaker stuff first as this gets premises committees excited. Q) Can you add photos into line items? A) Not at the moment but would be good feedback. Check they have booked the right room by a visual clue. Q) Does the iCal feed work with other calendars such as Google? A) Yes, and google is particularly good as people are often linked into Google Q) Can you duplicate an email address A) You can leave the first character/line blank to avoid this issue Q) Can you put a different person on the invoice? A) Not at the moment, but you can override the group name for the customer Q) How does reconcile work with Quickbooks for recording payments. A) Reconciliation is still a manual process In friendship, Oliver Oliver Waterhouse (he/him) Quaker Life Team Leader, Local and Area Governance Quakers in Britain 020 7663 1007 (Direct) oliverw(a)quaker.org.uk<mailto:oliverw@quaker.org.uk> | www.quaker.org.uk<http://www.quaker.org.uk/> Follow Quakers in Britain on Twitter<http://twitter.com/BritishQuakers>, Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/BritishQuakers>, YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/quakersinbritain>, and Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/britishquakers/>.
