+I have been a Hackspace member for over a year, and visit the space often. I am a member of the
+Not Just Arduino and Acoustic Hacking groups, and have done many Arduino and electronics
+projects. When I first joined, I was a complete beginner to electronics and coding, so I understand
+the problems faced by newcomers, and also that the Hackspace community is a great place to learn
+new skills.
+I have also helped many others with their first Arduino projects.
+The Hackspace has made a huge difference to my life, as it would have been impossible for me to
+learn on my own, and I have met many great people there.
+I have a disability which makes it difficult for me to access the space and difficult or impossible
+for me to use most tools and equipment, so I understand some of the problems that makers with
+disabilities can encounter. I think that improving accessibility would improve the space for
+everyone, the heavy doors are one example.
+I would like to see more special interest groups getting together, so that members with similar
+interests can share skills and knowledge and make new friends.
+I am at the Hackspace most Monday and Tuesday evenings, and sometimes on other days.
