A suggested general structure
No idea what to say to someone on a tour? Try working from this template.
- Introduction
- Who you are
- Ask them what they're interested in! This will help engage them and interest them in joining. If they're interested in a subject you don't know about, try to point them to someone who does if you can. Tours get very boring and dull if it's full of uninteresting (to the people involved) stuff.
- What the Hackspace is
- What the Hackspace is not
- The etiquette that helps it run
- The general layout (upstairs is mostly "clean" working space, downstairs is the workshop)
- The Upstairs
- Electronics Bench
- Quiet Room
- Craft Corner
- Laser Cutter
- Training is given by Solexious, sign up on the wiki when he posts on the Mailing List

- The Workshop
- Biohackers lab
- Storage and storage rules (boxes etc)

- Questions, anything else you want to highlight.
Etiquette
The space and organisation:
- We need everyone's help to keep things organised. Everyone is expected to help with maintenance and cleanliness.
- We do welcome your donations! (Show the donation tin.)
- If you start using the Hackspace more regularly you're encouraged to become a member. The size of your monthly payment is up to you; recommended amount is at least £20/month, some pay as much as £100/month, the absolute minimum is £5/month if you really cannot afford it.
The community:
- We're very approachable, although sometimes shy. If you are unsure about something: just ask around.
- But be aware that the people around you may be busy with project work and may not have time to chat. Tuesday evenings are the best time for a visit if you're new and want to meet new people.
- The hackspace has a large social scene that includes many specialists of a wide range of disciplines. The best way to reach them is to post questions on the mailing list.
Basic stuff
- Doorbot: You can open the door to London Hackspace 24 hours a day using an RFID card (such as your current Oyster card), if you're a member - the wiki has instructions on setting this up.
- Mail box

- Regular Events
- One-off Workshops
- The Events Calendar
Workshop
- Tools for both wood and metal - if you don't know which to use or how to use it correctly - Please Ask!

- PCB etch tank (will eventually come back into play when we get plumbing)
