| Desired number and layout of tables and chairs are set up by staff prior to arrival | SEATING A square of 4 tables and 20+ chairs is perfect for guitarists to feed a mixer and or share a few iPads where live cameras or song graphics can display on the bigTV. Another two tables in an inset/enclave in the corner serve as a safe place to quickly store and stack cases, gear etc. POWER On ground level (30cm up) there is one near the TV and four in the above-mentioned enclave in the corner. Good for recharge or for speakers that have wireless receivers. |

MAYBE ... BEST
PART OF $30 PER GATHERING INCLUDING 1/2 HOUR OF
KITCHEN TIME 'BEFORE' |
KITCHEN OPTIONS May be able to book kitchen meets, greets, tunings and DIY food prep 1/2 hour before Snowgum room club activity actually starts |
| Kitchen as an add-on
is $9 per hour |
0.5 hours @ $9 per
hour = 4.50 |
eg 6:30-7:00pm (or earlier in day) |
| The kitchen will have two tables
installed permanently in the centre of the kitchen. |
A place to prep food but also to rest
equipment and prep HDMI setup for the Snowgum room. |
|
| Snowgum room $25 per
hour |
1 hours @ $25 per
hour = 25.00 |
eg 7:00-8:00pm (or earlier in day) |
| There is one HDMI
input built in to the wall with a selector for/from
different devices (eg laptops) |
Yet to discern how
to pump variables through their preset for the wall HDMI
socket (HDMI-2). There is also a digital selector on the wall for different inputs ... yet to fathom which is best for iPads, Mac Pbk, Rodecaster Video S and/or AppleTV *NB: $20 usb-c to HDMI cables connect iPads on TV in other environments beautifully so ... |
The ideal is an HDMI switcher
allowing for a Rodecaster 'and' AppleTV signed in over
CBR wifi. TESTED APPLETV 10 JULY '26 The ACT Govt free wifi is (of course) a captive wifi so there are limits but (surprise surprise) the old v2HD AppleTV logged in to the wifi no problem. Opening iCloud No. Listing apps from an account NO. But (forgot to take iPhone) casting could be a possibility. Will try later. |
| HDMI thru TVs is the only input-output for delivering audio to a room. The centre has no built in audio wiring other than the cat-5 data ports around the place for the ACT Govt staff. |
JAMMING THROUGH A MIXER The Rodecaster Video S (being an AV mixer/switcher) can therefore route inputs from a separate mixer so that video and audio of a group jam can be both recorded and MONITORED through the TV's speakers ... which are quite substantial. Grouping guitar leads through small mixers thence through passive DIs to XLR inputs on, say, a Rodecaster Pro I or II would ensure super clarity for recording and monitoring without the need for headphones etc. Latency for audio on the Rodecaster (when set to 0) is ever so slight (maybe 50ms) giving a nice reverb through the TV ... very nice. |

| INSURANCE: (see link to conditions
of hire) [If required to the] Hirer must ensure it
obtains and holds current public liability insurance to
the value of $10 million for the Hire Period. If the Hirer is an incorporated association, not-for-profit organisation, or private individual, the Hirer can opt-in to the Territory’s public liability insurance by written notice to the Territory, such as via email, subject to payment of the $250 opt-in fee. |
Incorporated body
... is about $240 rego. OFFICIAL RULES - NOT FOR PROFIT STATUS "To receive the community hire rates, hirers are required to provide supporting documentation from the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) confirming their organisation's not-for-profit status." So ... incorporation and Duck for Cover or the option to take up the ACT Gov's public liability insurance (if it is annual) for $250 is a must. |
