==Summary==
To start up a Lockpicking Sport Club
 
There appears to be much interest in the wonderful Sport of Lockpicking. During the space warming party on 1 August 2010, a mini-workshop was held. The interest was simply amazing and many tried their best opening the few locks which were available.

==What we need now==
 
Currently, we only have six locks and one little Southord pickset (comprising of one snake, one hook and one half-diamond with one tensioner).
 
* Locks! We need many, many more locks.
 
We need any type of lock, with or without the key, in functioning order. If we can get a nice collection of locks, then we can gain much useful experience working with different types of locks.
 
Regarding the quantity of locks, we should have at least a few hundred. This will assure that we have locks for all levels of lockpicking, from beginner's locks to locks for the more experienced.
 
==Ideas for the new London Lockpicking Sportgroup==
 
If you have any ideas for the lockpicking sportgroup, please pass them on!
 
Questions:
 
* What day would be best to have the lockpicking sport club? Evenings during the week? Weekends?
** Maybe to begin with it could be done at the weekly open-days? Get more interest and publicity, whilst also being open to non-space members. -- [[user:ciaran.mooney|Ciarán]]
* How often should we hold it? Once a month, twice a month, more often?
* Setting up a Lockpicking Sportclub, how this could be done.
* Webserver hosting -- who would want to host the lockpicking website? Anyone?
** This can quite happily be hosted on the hackspace servers. Makes sense if it's part of the space. --jonty
 
Suggestion:
 
* "Make your own pick set day". The grind wheel can be used to make each interested member their own pick set/ more sets for the hackspace. Very fun thing to do in my experience! -- Kal

They are now around six/seven Lockpicking Sport Clubs in the world. Due to much interest in this sport, much growth is expected in the coming years. Let us profit from their experience!
