Hackspace Move/RegisterToHelp

From London Hackspace Wiki

Please let us know what you can help out with!

Action Plan

For the weekend of 13/14 April.

  • We'll do it firemen's relay style: lots of people in Cremer St load stuff in vans, some people drive, a final group receives & stores things at the new space.
  • Come to Cremer St first, and ask around what needs doing. (Initially we need more people there. We may send a few people to 447.)
  • If you're packing: make sure to prominently label all boxes.
  • As soon as possible start carrying things to the loading bay downstairs, this can start even before any transport is available.
  • If it's not clear what to do: a few people will be around to coordinate, find those people to receive instructions.

Before the move

I will bring crates and rigid boxes

Please drop them off at the space, and help find a good place for them (maybe stacked in the quiet room?) Note that they may be in use for 1-2 weeks before we can return them.

We need someone with a car/bus/drone to bring back the crates and boxes from 447 Hackney Rd to the old space.

Who:

  • Marc
  • ...

Other places to source crates:

  • Oskar mentioned http://www.junocrates.co.uk, "It seems it's about £1-4 per week depending on the crate type."
  • we have 15-20 crates in 447, some currently used for books and cabling

I will help packing

This can start even before the first boxes arrive. Make sure to check with others if you pack things that may still be in use.

Who:

  • Hipster, will coordinate workshop packing
  • Marc will coordinate Kitchen + electronics (with Mentar)
  • Charles will coordinate the bike area.
  • WillB
  • Ruben - will pack the darkroom stuff as soon as practicable
  • Mentar - Packing electronics (not including radio) with help from Marc

On 13/14 April

I will bring a van or other means of transport

Please also let us know when you will arrive, and whether you're free all weekend.

Who:

  • Sol/Oni with a Luton
  • artag (will bring car on 13th am, maybe 14th)
  • ...

I will coordinate volunteers

I know the space well, can think on my feet, and will help guide volunteers so everything runs smoothly.

  • Mark
  • WillB (Can coordinate move of contents of wet lab, and more if required)
