For information on membership, see the membership page on the main website.

The joining process includes a general induction to the space, including briefing on safety; for everyone's safety, you can't become a member until you've done this.

Many of our pieces of equipment also require specific training, which is sometimes referred to as induction.

If you've been a member for long enough to know your way around and to know how things are done, do consider joining the inductors team (or becoming a trainer on a piece of equipment you are particularly familiar with). A good supply of induction and training sessions improves the experience of membership, especially for new members.
