Newport Makerspace / Creudy Casnewydd Subscription Guide

Becoming a Subscriber

To become a subscriber, you need to:

  • Visit the Makerspace on a Tuesday open evening (Makers' Night) to have a look round our space and meet some of our subscribers.
  • Fill in our application form with your details (name, address, email) and accept our Terms and Conditions.
  • Set up a monthly standing order to our bank account for your subscription fee (£10 p/m recommended)
  • Return to the Makerspace on the next social evening, with a valid photo ID.

When you return, we will check your application form, your ID, and that your payments have arrived. If everything is in order, congratulations! You are a Makerspace subscriber. We will then:

  • Issue you the door keycode.
  • Issue you with a subscribers card.
  • Give you a General Induction.

Accessing the Makerspace

You can access the Makerspace whenever it is open. See the Building Rules for general opening times which correspond with the Reuse Shop Opening times. Some subscribers are keyholders and can open the Makerspace out of hours providing it falls within the building usage hours.

If your subscription payments fall into arrears, you will not be updated when the door codes are changed so your access will be revoked.

Your Subscription Fee

Your subscrfiption is a rolling monthly subscription, paid by standing order or cash-in-hand paid to our treasurer. The standard fee is £10 per month. If you feel the Makerspace is worth more then you can make a higher contribution and this will help to ensure the Makerspace is operational in the future. Note that all subscribers have the same priviliges.

Newport Makerspace / Creudy Casnewydd aims to be accessible to as many people as possible, including those with reduced or irregular incomes. If you need to discuss affordability, contact the committee.

We do not accept payment in services or by any means other than monthly direct bank transfers or cash-in-hand which must be paid to our treasurer.

Subscriptions are issued for named individuals only, we do not offer corporate, shared, or family subscription.

Organisations wishing to subscribe should contact one of our committee members; We are happy to accept subscribers whose memberships are paid by a sponsoring organisation, but these subsciptions are still solely for the use of the named individual.

Your siubscription will expire exactly one month after your last payment was received. Please remember to take any project materials you have stored at Makerspace away with you.

Termination of Subscription

The committee can terminate your subscription if they decide your continued participation is harmful, or likely to be harmful, to the Makerspace. This may be made as a result of:

  • An investigation into formal complaints made against you.
  • You failing to respond to multiple requests to settle a significant debt to the Makerspace.
  • Your subscription payments having stopped.
  • A resolution to terminate a subscription must have the support of a strict majority of the committee to pass.

Termination takes immediate effect, unless by the grace of the committee.

The committee will give at least 14 days notice of a meeting where sanctions such as terminating your subscription is up for discussion. This is to allow you reasonable opportunity to make representations in advance. The committee may ask that you do not use the Makerspace until the decision has been made.
