About 15-20 people came to yesterday’s knitting-themed open day including lots of new people, and several people asked if we’d hold another!

So, we are now in search of a new volunteer. Does this sound like you?

• Machspace member (or soon to be)
• Likes knitting
• Likes socialising in groups
• Happy to host and take responsibility for the space

This volunteer would regularly host a knitting group in the Machspace workshop, perhaps weekly or fortnightly. Attendees of various skill levels would attend, and be able to help themselves to donated yarn, snacks and refreshments. The volunteer would be responsible for:

• Choosing the group frequency and booking the space
• Informing the PR volunteer(s) of the dates and times well in advance
• Unlocking the space before it starts, and locking it again afterwards
• Welcoming new attendees and making sure everyone is comfortable
• Informing people about the help-yourself refreshments and snacks in the kitchen
• Informing people about the yarn supplies and equipment
• Helping interested people to find and fill in the Machspace membership application form
• Being a point of contact for potential attendees
• Finding other volunteers to support them in this work
