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. | This is the fourth building used by the hackspace.

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. | 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.

You can conduct commercial business from the hackspace, using the space, tools and other facilities. But you can't monopolise seats or tables over other users, you can't register a company address there, you can't set up a special area just for your work, and you can't spend long periods on the phone, disturbing other members. | |||

You're welcome to bring individual friends into the hackspace, show them the facilities and stay to chat. But don't overdo it - a regular table full of visitors who aren't members will unfairly monopolise space and cause distraction for legitimate users. Be considerate. | |||
