| | London Hackspace ''is'' its members - we're a non-profit organisation and the majority of our income comes from membership subscriptions. Our members are responsible for keeping the space running. |
|
| |
|
| Note that it's not unusual for payments to take a few days to appear in our account once the money has left your own. Furthermore, our system only reconciles new accounts once a day.
| | =What you Get= |

| |
|
| =How much=
| | Apart from the warm fuzzy feeling that you're supporting London's hackerspace, being a member also gains you certain other benefits: |

Currently you will need to ask someone familiar with the process (or one of the [[Directors|directors]]) to set them up for you after your first standing order payment has been received. The benefits are not provided automatically so you will need to ask.

| | We ask that you pay what you think the space is worth to you. Running an organisation like this in London isn't cheap (our monthly budget is £11,000, and most of that is rent!), but we don't want to set a fixed cost which some people can't afford. |

| | |
| =Storage=
| |
| [[File:ahitchscreen109.jpg|thumb|right|Stored member]]
| |
| | |
| London Hackspace members are allocated one plastic box in for storage of personal items. Your personal box can be considered 'off-limits' to other members and visitors - [[Rules#Rule_Zero|within reason]]. In certain circumstances you may be able to [[Guides/Bringing_items_to_the_space#Storing_items_for_your_use|store items outside]] of your personal box.
| |
| | |
| Please don't take a box if you don't intend to use it or, if you empty your box please return it to the stack. Space is limited and if/when we run out of boxes empty boxes are considered fair game (if you take the last box please tell the [[Guides/GettingStarted#Mailing_Lists|list]] so we can order more).
| |
| | |
| Storage boxes must be labelled with the member's name and should be left in the dirty shop storage area.
| |
| | |
| It goes without saying that the space should not be held responsible for any items left in your personal box.
| |
|
| |
|
| [[File:638px-CapsuleHotel.jpg|thumb|right|Planned facility]]
| | In order for the space to be financially healthy, each member needs to be paying an average of £20/month. If you really can't afford that, the minimum is £5/month. |
