-If you are reading this as a prospective member, please skip to the second section.
+Head to https://www.57north.org.uk/membership, all the details are there!
-===== Procedure =====
-Guests are permitted limited access to the space during open events (e.g. Tuesday Open Nights or Themed Thursdays) or when accompanied by a member of the space. However they are not permitted use of the space tools or consumables outside of the guest allowance. Guests wishing to become members are asked to follow the procedure below. An email (contents also below) should be sent to the new member for return to the public discussion list.
-  -  New members are asked to populate a simple email template (see below) and send it to the public discussion list. Visitors wishing to join are asked to pay 1 months membership fee at their next space visit. A director must be present to accept this, with a receipt given. Their payment and email constitute 'the new membership submission'
-  -  Members are encouraged to email commentary to board members regarding any new member, although sponsorship is not required for a successful application.
-  -  Board members are tasked to observe any objections over a 5 day consultation period from receipt of the new membership submission. The initial member fee and any application objections are registered with a tasked board member. The tasked board member is either tasked overall, rota'ed or selected ad-hoc at the point the first payment is received. If no objections are recorded from the board, membership is deemed approved. If there is a negative outcome, fees paid are returned in full by the tasked director.
-  -  The member is notified of any negative outcome within 7 days of the application date via email by the tasked board member. Assuming no negative outcome, the new member is invited to visit the member account registration page at https://guest.id.57north.org.uk/register.
-  -  Finally to complete your registration visit the member login area from the main site (or https://hub.57north.org.uk/hub), login and click the application button.
