Open Space

Today we are officially opening the LAMM Space at White Cross for use by members. The Space has been closed during the Covid pandemic for the safety of everyone but we have now been able to procure supplies and formulate a procedure for the safe use of the community workshop.

At this time the Space will only be open to paying members. We will not be opening for public open days for the foreseeable future. Once the crisis is fully abated we will publish a schedule for public opening times.

There are a few rules for the use of the space. All members must follow these for the safety of everyone:

Using the Space

  • Only one person in the Space at any time. Please make sure to announce in the LAMM Telegram channel if you are in the Space and when you leave. Please check the channel before going to the Space to ensure it is free. If you live in the same house as another member then it is safe for you to both be there at the same time.
  • Use the sanitation station provided by White Cross and follow all guidelines for public spaces.
  • Gloves, masks, wipes, hand sanitiser and surface sprays are available in the Space. Please make sure to use protective covering to reduce the chances of infection and remember to dispose of them waste in the bins provided. Please make sure to wipe down all equipment with the cleaning spray provided even if you are wearing a mask and gloves.
  • Please respect other members property. Please clean all tools and equipment away after yourself.
  • Do not remove any cleaning or protective equipment from the Space for your own use without permission from the Directors.
  • Please let us know if any replacement cleaning or protective equipment is needed.

If you show symptoms…

  • Do not come to the Space if you have had any symptoms in the last 14 days.
  • Do not come into the Space if anyone you live with has, or has had, symptoms in the last 14 days.
  • If you show symptoms after visiting the Space please let the Directors know immediately and let us know when you were at the Space and what equipment you used.
  • Keep monitoring the Telegram channel for any up-to-date information. Also to request times and to communicate with other members.

We want you all to have a safe return to the community workshop. We apologise that there are measures in place and rather dictatorial rules to follow about usage.

A big thanks has to go to Kay Kempers who has made the Space safe for us all to visit and has secured all supplies and made all the signs.
