Induction

[Isobel Leonard]

Hi everyone, 

Thank you for welcoming me a few Wednesdays back. I am very excited about what you have going and I have signed up as a member. Would anybody have time to take me through an induction? I can pop round next welcome Wednesday or any weekday evening (except Thursday) next week. I'd be very grateful and come bearing biscuits. Of course, no rush. 

Cheers, 

Issy

Hi Issy,

I could do an induction on either Monday or Tuesday evenings if either of those work.

Wednesday is the festive party, so probably not the ideal time (although workable if needed).

Best,

Dan

Hi Dan, 

Thank you! I appreciate it- Monday evening suits me. What time is best for you?

I'd also love to induct onto the laser cutter but I don't know if this is best to do once I have a project in mind?

Cheers

Oooh, if there is induction happening on the Cutter of Lasers on Monday, may I please join in too?

We don’t do multiple inductions at the same time I am afraid as we have found that just does not work. I don’t want to speak for Dan but I suspect he will be happy to do one induction after another, or do it another time for that matter if that is more convenient. 

All the best,

  Alistair

Hi Issy,

I should be around from 17:30 on Monday, so any time between then and 21:00 would be fine.

The hackspace and laser inductions will take around 45mins in total.

Best,

Dan

[Dan Nixon]

Alistair beat me to it, but yes, as a general rule I will only do 1-on-1 tool inductions.

But there would be plenty time on Monday to get an induction if you wanted.

Best,

Dan

Thank you Dan and Alistair, makes sense.

[Isobel Leonard]

Thanks Dan, thats perfect. I will see you tomorrow. I appreciate your time. 

And thanks Alistair!

[Isobel Leonard]

I'll aim to be there around 17:30 :)

Hi Dan, 

I'm so sorry about this but I've come down with something nasty today and I don't want to be spreading Christmas bugs round the maker's space! Would it be okay if I postponed the induction to another Mon/Tue???

Apologies for messing you about. 

Cheers

Issy

[Dan Nixon]

No worries.

Best,

Dan

But I wouldn't be able to arrive until about 18:30. Would that be alright?

Hey Dan, know I haven't messaged in a while. Was going to come along to the open day on Wednesday. Would I be able to come tonight and do the induction?

I've used lasers before and have a small Diode one if that helps.

Sorry Samuel, you need to be a member to use the laser cuter and to use the space on a Monday.

The best thing to do is to come in on one of our Welcome Wednesday visitor nights, find out what is what, then kick off the joining process by completing the Join Us form.

Also this kind of discussion normally happens on the closed members list, and we should perhaps move this back to that to avoid further confusion. If anyone is a member and not on the list them let me know and we can sort it out.

All the best,

  Alistair
