| =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.
| |
|
