 +Hi, welcome to 57North Hacklab! We're glad you've come to say hi. 
 +
 +We are a membership driven organisation, and we'd like it if you considered joining us! Members have a say on how the space runs, a key to get access to the hackerspace at any point in time, they can bring guests to the space as they please and they have the ability to leave things in boxes in the space.
 +
 +To learn more about joining, please see [[admin:membership_application_process|Membership Application Process]].
 +
 +Here's a dump of information about the basics of how the space should work.
