So my buddies and I want to start a knife sharpening business in the HRM. Our landlord would evict us so fast due to the noise and obvious breach of running a business out of our home.
Does anyone have any suggestions for good makespaces for rent ? I explored Halifax maker space but they don’t have a location right now… Anything similar?
My only other idea is flea markets.
Any suggestions very much welcome.
Hello Dalhousie subreddit-
I am the prospective founder of the “Dalhousie Poker Society” and recently made a post pitching my idea, mainly to brainstorm.
The deadline to ratify a club is May 15 and I am working on an application. We already have well over the 10 minimum members, however strength in numbers is undeniable.
My main obstacle at play is making sure the student association sees our club as a “Poker is a skill/theory game” rather than “Poker is gambling”. I’ve researched ways to still have poker events while abiding the gambling regulations of Nova Scotia.
Should we be approved for funding by the DSA, we would host FREE tournaments/cash game. While there are many formats this could take- one thing is consistent. Nobody pays or wins money. You can only win sponsored prizes.
Apart from this, I’m looking for professional players to speak at events, host theory workshops, hand breakdown nights, variation nights (PLO, Stud, Horse, Pineapple), and a lot more.
I’m making this post to generate interest, as more members will strengthen our application.
However, I’m really seeking a Dalhousie professor or staff member with a (stats, theory, logic, etc type of background) to speak at least one event, and to sort of advise me on how to pitch this to the DSA in the safest way possible.
Any comments are very much appreciated and if you are interested in potentially being a member, please PM me. Especially if you are a prof who’s willing to participate on some level!!!
Thank you!
