Hello lovely members and forum readers, it’s time for another Hack-the-Space Day! 
As part of our commitment to have more frequent Hack-the-space days, we’ll be hosting another on Saturday 2nd of December, with some rollover onto Sunday 3rd for any outstanding tasks.
There’s a list below of tasks, but by all means, feel free to begin them before the day. Funding is available through the usual purchase proposal system.
Big thanks to everyone who’s helped compile the to-do list so far - If you’d like anything added to the list below of tasks to tackle, comment on this post and I’ll add them.
If you’re keen to lead one of the items below, let me know! – looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday the 2nd! 
What is a Hack the Space Day 
It’s a day where members come together to improve the space and meet other folks. This could be by fixing, building, cleaning, or generally improving the unit. We plan what needs to be done beforehand (see below) and there is usually one or two people on the day assigning jobs.
What do I need to do
Turn up on the day with a can-do attitude and a decent breakfast inside you. If there are particular jobs you’d like to do, you can discuss in this thread.
Do I really have to come in for a whole day
No. Even a couple of hours is really helpful. We’ll likely be working from 0900ish until the evening with some possible spillover into Sunday.
Will there be perks
As well as the warm and fuzzy feeling you’ll get from making the Hackspace a better place, there will be pizza provided at lunchtime for those helping out and food/drinks later on. It’s also a great opportunity to meet other makers.
Tip drivers wanted
HTS days typically generate a lot of rubbish. If anyone is prepared to do a few runs to the tip in their car or van, that would be really useful.
