Open Evening hosts Rota

[Makerspace (SLMS)]

(to edit this post and add your name to the list click on the orange (sometimes green) number above this text and then click "edit Wiki)

Wednesday Open Evenings are important for attracting new members, and showing the curious public what goes on in a Makerspace. It’s the only time we can guarantee the doors will be open and someone will be there to show visitors around. This event runs every 2 weeks.

To make this run smoothly, and ensure members are able to get on with their own projects we have a member or two volunteer each week to be the host. The job is simple: welcome our guests, show them around, and answer the questions you can answer – we also have a full guide, linked below

We need to ensure there is at least one host present from 19:00 every other Wednesday

You can expect to be finished by 21:00, but it’s often earlier

If you can, please turn up by 18:30 to tidy the space, remind members present that it’s open evening, and put the kettle on…a full guide on the process is below:

Click here for the full guide to hosting. Please read if you are going to host.

Our Open Evenings have been quite busy and we have 2-3 people doing hosting duties and giving tours. Please create a space booking for your Open Evening session and ensure someone that is coming has shutter access!
