+1 I also think that the dishwashing could be done by volunteers. For the cleaning I agree that we should find an other solution (external or by Le Camp). > >> we >> also need to know if they will allow us to arrange outside cleaners for >> this, if we can find a better price from an independent cleaning service >> nearby. > I wouldn't insist on this.

For the cleaning I propose to get quotes from Le Camp and from at least one external service and decide based on the offers. And just to avoid any wrong impressions. I'm sure that Le Camp won't take away any laptops even if we do things they don't like. I really think that organizing this is a detail. It has to be done, sure, but it's not urgent in any way. I at least for myself won't spend any time organizing this unless I'm sure that we actually go to Le Camp. And asking Le Camp for a quote for cleaning after we just told them that we want to shorten because we really don't have enough money for 2 weeks will give a bad impression.
