Construction
Preparation work for phase 2 has now begun, we are clearing the back half of the Makerspace for this purpose. If you have anything in there that is your property you are asked to remove it this week or it may be disposed of.
Rules
A few months ago, we collectively worked on a set of values, rules and a code of conduct but this hasn’t really been enforced until now. This has led to a few minor issues, nothing serious but we do need to work on this.
I’d like to ask that everyone read the following:
The things we’ve faced so far, have been:
-
Tidying up
When you have finished, tidy up the area even if it’s not your mess. Leave the place better than you found it! -
Flagrant disregard for personal safety
People not wearing PPE such as goggles, and objecting or refusing to do so. -
Sexist, homophobic and xenophobic jokes, comments or remarks
When you’ve got to know people well, it’s easy to slip into a sort of jokey banter that includes offensive language. Can we please try to knock this on the head, because it can be offputting to new members. -
"Donations"
Donation of tools or equipment is only permitted after written confirmation from a Trustee. -
Storage
At present we do not have members storage, any previously agreed storage at the space has now expired, please remove your junk. -
Borrowing
It is not acceptable to take Makerspace property off site except where Trustees have agreed and it is directly related to Makerspace business, such as exhibitions or attending events like EMF.
