Important information to explain

- How to sign up for membership:
- Enter details on the form on website
- An automated email with bank details will be sent
- Set up a standing order
- Email committee to tell them standing order is set up
- Key cards and keys are managed by the building owner, the form to request them is on the website. All members must have their own key card and key.
- Before you get your key card and key, you can use the space whenever another member can open and lock up; try the Google Group, Thursday evenings or just risk turning up.
- Bristol Hackspace is 100% run by volunteer members.
- The Google group is our main means of communication between our members.
- Some consumables are provided by the hackspace, but we rely on members to replenish these (and claim back the money from the treasurer).
- We have two benches in G11 so we can hold events and have space for members to work. We do not allow any part of the hackspace to be booked exclusively.
