The Coffee Scheme Archive Page
We're back to the normal logo now. Results of the highly successful 'design a logo' competition can be found here.
This independent page is intended for the benefit of those involved in the coffee scheme. Hopefully by careful digestion of the archive some potential problems may be averted.

As from the beginning of term I am taking
over the scheme.
There is no money in the scheme. Anything you owe to
the old system will be collected by S.
When I have some money I will buy some supplies.
Apart from the basic supplies of
tea, coffee (granular?) and milk. Is there anything else
which you would like supplied. If there is sufficient demand
I will try to provide it.
I expect people using the scheme to stay in credit in future.
Please make an effort to find me to put yourself in credit.
Secondly :
The fridge in the pantry is for use of the coffee scheme.
Others are welcome to use it if there is space, but as from
Monday 4th October, anything which is not labelled as
belonging to someone will be assumed to belong to the coffee
scheme and disposed of accordingly.

1. Please make sure that you mark off the sheet when you have a
drink.
Apparently some people think that this is no longer necessary.
2. I have applyed the following price changes:
Coffee with milk 16p
Coffee without milk 10p
Tea with milk 8p
Tea without milk 3p
Milk only 6p
I will revue these when usage settles down.
3. I will attempt to keep milk etc available.
If you find that milk has run out would you
buy a 4pt of semi skimmed from Asda and
credit the cost to your account.
A couple more points:
4. Mugs etc which are left in the kitchen will be put in
the cupboard by the fridge. Any not removed from
there will be disposed of.
5. There are new sheets with names in alphabetical order.
There is a hospitality row. Drinks for departmental visitors
can be charged to this. This does not include personal
friends which should be charged to your own account.
6. For the next few days there will be a spoon amnesty.
During this time coffee scheme spoons may be returned
to the kitchen without the person responsible being
subjected to cruel and unusual punishment!

Earl gey tea bags have been provided for those who like them.
Same cost as regualr tea bags.
Over the weekend > 1 pt of milk was used with only two cups
signed for.
If you use stuff over the weekend please sign up as usual.

Having found a cheaper source of coffee and looking at milk use
I can announce the following price changes:
Coffee with Milk 13p
Coffee without milk 8p
Tea with milk 7p
Tea without milk 3p
Milk only (for T/C) 5p
Happy consuming!

Milk is proving more expensive than I thought.
Therefore the following price rises come into effect:
Coffee with milk 14p
Milk only 6p
Cup of milk 20p
Sorry!

The coffe scheme will stop for the Christmas break on Thursday
23rd December
and restart on Monday 10th January.
P.S.
A happy Christmas to all our readers!

With milk 10p

Tea-Bag Availability (Ty-Phoo)
Due to the fact that typhoo tea bags are disappearing I am not
leaving
them out at the moment.
A tea bag can be obtained from J. Otherwise ask me for one.
Great News! Well done to one and all!
The coffee scheme is now making a profit.
Some of this is being returned to you by crediting you with 10% of your total contribution.
Where is the sugar container?
Milk will not be provided by me from April
17th to May 2nd.
If you require milk buy 1 or 2 pints and credit yourself on the
charge sheet.
I found a some money in a drawer in the
kitchen.
Unless it is claimed I will donate it to the coffee scheme.
PS The tissues are there to allow you to dry a teaspoon
before putting
it in the sugar, coffee etc.

A Very Important Lesson from Another Coffee Scheme
I think we can all learn something from this:
"I went into the kitchen this morning to make
myself a cup of coffee.
WELL, THE KITCHEN WAS A MESS!!!
I had to wash 20 cups, as many teaspoons and other cutlery and plates and
then I had to clean the counters.
I AM REALLY GETTING FED-UP WITH YOU UNTIDY LOT.
CLEAN UP AFTER YOU. HOW MANY TIMES MUST YOU BE TOLD???????"
The final profit share pay back for this year has been
made this week.
This was 10% of your total contributions.

This morning a new pack of ordinary tea bags was opened, but no tea was
signed for.
If this was you and it was an oversight, could you let me know.
We lose a significant number of ordinary tea bags. if it is just a matter of oversight, that would not be a problem.
I am considering not supplying them any more if losses continue as it penalises users who do sign up.
1. A percentage of this years takings has been credited to those who paid.
2. Caffee Direct coffee is also being provided. If you prefer this please let me know. It is more than twice as expensive.
Could you let me know if the nescafe is better/worse than the Sainsbury's coffee in your opinion.
thanks
Current standings:
| Sainsbury's | 6 |
| Nescafe | 0 |
| No preference | 2 |
| Total | 8 |
