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.

We've got the new Laser Cutter arriving Saturday, so it might be a good time to bob down and say hi :)

Perfect, I finish class at around 8pm so I will drive down right after.

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.

What details do you feel are unclear?

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.
