The Applicant will start the process by completing the Membership Application Form which can be found here: https://www.makerspace.org.uk/joinus/

The Applicant should ideally have visited the space before submitting the form but this is not an absolute requirement.

The Membership Officer and/or the Board will review the application and decide if it should be approved or not.

On Approval, the Applicant should be sent details of how to set up monthly payments and how to arrange their induction.

The Approver is not responsible for the actions of the Applicant.

4. Payment Verification

Membership Payments should be verified before the Applicant becomes a member.

New members must receive an induction to cover the basic safety points, policies and expectations of the space. Inductions should be given on a voluntary basis and could be given by any member who has already been inducted.
