== New lab ==
==== Financial feasibility of our own space ====
'''Income:'''
* Current membership fee is £8 a month.
* At the moment I would say maximum paying members we could get is 10.
* So we'd make £80 a month from membership fees. We could increase membership fees for people who are very active.
'''Costs:'''
*Rent, lets say £500 a month
* Other space costs. Utility bills, business rates/council tax.
* Reagents. We should work out cost per reaction, assuming an extraction, PCR and electrophoresis. I estimate this will be between £1 and £5 per reaction.
So we have a big funding shortfall. Therefore we need to stay with the hackspace.
''Funding sources:''
* [http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/Funding/Public-engagement/index.htm Wellcome trust public engagement fund]
* Arts catalyst
* Synthetic aesthetic
* UCL. Imperial.
* Workshops
* Kickstarter
* Businesses to get free kit from
* BBC for new publicity.
* NESTA
* NCBE
==== Requirements for lab + HSE risk assessment ====
* Tiling / washable surfaces
* Sink
* Lockable
* Enough room for 10-15 people to work
* Disposal procedures
