Hi there! Market research for Norwich Hackspace!

[Karl Ablitt]

Hi there!  

  My name is Karl and along with some other people I am trying to start a hacker/maker space in the city of Norwich, in Norfolk.  In order to do this we are seeking funding and to help us apply for this funding we need to do a little market research.  Therefore I wonder if you would mind helping me by answering a few questions?

Q1:  How many active members do you have currently, and how much do they pay for membership?

Q2:  How long have you been going?

Q3:  How many members did you start with and how did membership numbers progress?

Q4: Do you advertise your space at all?  If so how and where do you advertise and what is your advertising budget?

Q5:  Do you have any other forms of income than memberships, for example donations or charges you make for equipment or venue hire etc. 

Q6: What are your costs, for example utilities, rubbish collection, rent etc.

I am very grateful for any help you may be able to give, and thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!

Kindest regards

Karl Ablitt.

I have written quite a big response, but I'll put it up somewhere better than here and post a link when it is finished.
