Even though we may appear to be a public open space or even a charity, we are not. The LHS is an organisation created to provide space and tools to members of the LHS community.

===Looking after the space===
Although we have a cleaner to look after a few essential places, most of the space is looked after by the members. Please play your part. If you leave without cleaning up your mess, somebody else has to do it for you. Remember that a lot of people are using the space and, even if you could leave a dirty mug at home to be done later, you can't do it here. Especially :
*Don't leave dirty pots, plates, mugs around the space or in the kitchen. Wash them up and put them away in a cupboard. We have a washing up machine to help with this, but it can't deal with baked-on-food (and it doesn't fill itself).
*Clean up after you work - whether it's paper shreds on the floor, odd components on the soldering station, sawdust and swarf in the workshop, paint in the workshop sink .. it's your responsibility to clean it (and more : if you find stuff left by someone else, please help clean up).
*Treat our furniture with respect. Using chairs in the workshop, standing on them, using tables as a cutting surface etc. ruins good furniture, it's expensive to replace and unpleasant for you and others to use.
*Do odd jobs. There are always jobs to do to keep the space useful. Whether it's emptying a bin, vacuuming a carpet or building an awesome machine, we can't function without all our members helping out. All our time is as valuable as yours - please don't leave it for someone else.
