+    * //This is an idea proposed by alfie//
+    * The lab is a mess. Let's have a cleaning party to tidy it up.
+    * Lab is closed to general use - any members who attend during the cleaning party must participate or go home
+    * BIG tidy up
+      * Every item on every surface should be picked up and put somewhere sensible
+        * The sensible place for clutter is in the bin - ruthlessness is key.
+      * Sort
+      * Bribe some members with cars to take some clutter/e-waste to the dump (bribes to be decided)
+    * Deep clean
+      * hoover every flat surface
+      * mop all the floors
+      * bleach & scrub work surfaces
+      * clean tables / food prep area
+    * Lab buys pizza afterwards for everyone who contributed? maybe? there needs to be an incentive otherwise people just won't get involved
