The most time-sensitive one at the top! This Wednesday, 10am-2pm, Penny is running a Machspace market stall outside the workshop – more details below. She would love some company, for this and maybe future Wednesdays. If you’re helping out you can also sell your own arts and crafts for 30% commission. If you’re interested, email us: hello@machspace.org
Managing the woodworking area is a responsibility and a pretty big job, so we are reaching out to see if anyone would like to co-manage alongside Matt. Here’s the job description.
If you like woodworking and sharing your skills, if you can be committed in the longer term, and if you work well as part of a small team, we would love to hear from you. Click here to email us about it.
Twice a month, for two hours each time, we open Machspace to the general public. It’s a chance for members to socialise, and for curious people to see what we’re about without having to sign up for membership. Sometimes there’s an arty or crafty theme to draw people in.
We need a volunteer to run our open days. We estimate about 2 hours per week, looking something like this:
If you like meeting people, you’re confident communicating in person and online, and you work well under your own initiative, would you like to give this a try? If so, drop us a line.
Tanya will be painting the wall behind the sofa in Machspace on the weekend of 24th/25th August, and volunteer assistance is very much appreciated! If you’re interested, please RSVP: hello@machspace.org
The kitchen’s hot water tap thing has been moved higher up, so now it’s easier to wash up your mugs. And there’s a space-efficient magnetic strip on the wall for cutlery, a new donation pot with a PayPal QR code on it, and bilingual signage.
Matt’s started organising the woodworking tools onto the tool wall:
We’ve rearranged some furniture so that the workshop feels more spacious, and there’s a proper first aid station. (Some supplies and equipment in baskets are now stored on the shelf under the sewing table: paper drawers, laminator, badge maker, comb binder.)
There’s a new box to make it easier to find a charger cable:
And we now have a lost and found box:
Good stuff!
