I can't speak for everyone, but after my experience at the 'Open Hack Day' I would advise you just pop along to the next 'Open Hack' time and check it out.
I am interested in visiting this hackerspace however I work Tuesday evenings so I am unable to attend the open day. I notice you allow guests in for a £5 donation but what times are usually best to visit? This place seems a much better environment to be able to hammer away at my project than a computer lab. My uni facilities are a bit lacking for what I need as well seen as they moved the course off campus.

There are people around most evenings, and usually weekends from about lunchtime onwards (most of us seem to be allergic to mornings). We don't really have fixed opening times as members can use the space whenever they like, the website has the current status, and a webcam pops up on the front page when we're open.
I'm likely to be there from 7.30/8pm on Wednesday if you want to drop in for a look around.

Came down with 2 of my class mates and we are very interested in becoming student members at least. From what I gather the student membership details need ironing out seen as it is a new concept for the group. I will keep lurking the blog/this group for when they are sorted and will gladly send over the membership fee then.

Think I replied to you over email but instead of here. The main unknown is having access only when there is a full member present as keys may not be issued to student members. I think Jon mentioned we could be issued a key as a group or when you get to know us a bit better. I personally probably wont be using the facilities for project work until January as the project work is mainly research until then so it may be a massive non-issue. I finish work at 5 saturday so can come down after and talk to you in person, assuming you or an organiser will be present for the laser installation.
