The hackspace is a social group first : it can't exist without a number of people working together to finance and maintain it. If the community doesn't prosper, neither will the hackspace. | |||
** Your community | ** Your community | ||
You can't benefit from a community without contributing to it. Not just financially, but in creating goodwill, pooling your skills and knowledge and doing your bit in maintenance and repair. | |||

This is fourth building used by the hackspace. Only a tiny fraction can be present at a time : the real hackspace community is composed of everyone helping pay and organise it. The people online have just as much right to an opinion as those in the physical workshop. | |||
** Tool library | ** Tool library | ||
One of the aims of the hackspace is to provide tools that would not be economical for a person to own personally, either because of their cost, or in justifying their storage space. But the tools have to be available - not lent out to someone. Please don't take any hackspace tools off the premises, and always put them back in the proper place when you have finished your job. | |||
