As you may or may not know, Seomra Spraoi a is group working towards opening a space/centre in Dublin so that we will finally have a focus point for all the different stuff going on in Dublin and, please God, a cafe/venue/practice space in the future as things develop over time.
The current plan is to rent a building in Dublin to start off as a meeting space with a view to running different workshops and whatever else people would like to use the space for.
We are going to begin approaching people at gigs soon to ask them if they would be willing to pay a monthly 'standing order' of 10euros or 20euros from their bank accounts(depending on their own financial situation and how much they're willing to give) into the Seomra Spraoi account (which we have opened in a Credit Union) so that we can build up the required finances for covering a deposit, rent, bills etc...
Using the 'standing order' system, the person paying will be able to start or stop whenever they want and will not be tied to any contract (or other bullshit where they end up paying money out of their account when there's nothing left in it).
We will be providing forms at gigs so that people can fill them out with their bank details if they wish to start giving a monthly payment.
From there we will have to see whether or not we're going to start running the space on a membership basis. Either way, no person will be given preference or hold any power over others based on the amount that they pay to the centre per month.
WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THIS? WOULD THERE BE ENOUGH SUPPORT?
DO YOU FEEL IT WOULD BE WORTHWHILE?
