====== Membership Application Process - Director's Guide ======

These are the things you need to know if someone wants to join the space!

The most important difference between this and the [[admin:membership_application_process|other page]] is the contents of an email to send to someone.

===== Procedure =====

Guests are permitted limited access to the space during open events (e.g. Tuesday Open Nights or when a member opens the space for all) 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.

  - Fill out the form at https://www.57north.org.uk/57North%20Membership%20Form.pdf, linked from https://www.57north.org.uk/membership
  -  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.


===== Email to send to prospective members =====

Fit like!

It was good to say hi on Tuesday - thanks for coming in! It's always great to see new faces appear. You're very welcome to come back in when we're open or on open days. Once you've been a couple of times, we'd love it if you consider becoming a member - you'll get door access to the space whenever you want, free use of tools, storage etc and the ability to run events in the space as and when you wish. Details are at: https://www.57north.org.uk/membership

It's worth keeping an eye on the mailing lists, as that's where a key part of our activity happens:

-Announce is where we tend to announce open nights and events, often people will post if they're going in on another day (for example, I'm heading in on Saturday!)
https://lists.57north.org.uk/mailman3/postorius/lists/57north-announce.lists.57north.org.uk/

-discuss is general chitchat and nonsense, feel free to post links & interesting stuff to it!
https://lists.57north.org.uk/mailman3/postorius/lists/57north-discuss.lists.57north.org.uk/

For more real time communication and hanging out, we're on irc: #57n at libera.chat - you can learn some ways to get online or use the web client at https://libera.chat/guides/connect

We've also finally started a signal group for modern group chat that lives on mobiles and desktops: [link]

I hope you enjoyed coming to say hi on Tuesday, any feedback you've got will help us do things a little better!

Cheers,


===== How to receive announcement emails and take part in group email discussions =====


The following is a quick guide on joining our two main mail-lists:

Our **57north-announce@lists.57north.org.uk** list is mainly used for open announcements by organisers and 'holds on' to emails from people until a list moderator approves it to go out. 

Our **57north-discuss@lists.57north.org.uk** list allows subscribed people to email out to all automatically once they are subscribed . "Reply" buttons clicked when reading announcement emails *should* automatically use 57north-discuss@lists.57north.org.uk to send their reply but some email apps don't do this properly, sadly.

To receive announcement emails (if you don't already), you need to join/subscribe to the so-called 'announce mail-list'. To join, navigate to: https://lists.57north.org.uk/mailman3/postorius/lists/57north-announce.lists.57north.org.uk/

To send emails to the group, or to respond back to the group (if your cannot do this already), you need to join/subscribe to the so -called 'discuss mail-list'. To join navigate to: https://lists.57north.org.uk/mailman3/postorius/lists/57north-discuss.lists.57north.org.uk/
