The main points: The space is open on a limited basis for members who need to use equipment

  • No group activity please, generally one/two people per area, four to six in the main room
  • Please book via the calendar (type book equipment into the #who-is-in-the-space Slack channel)
  • Please announce arrival and departure in the #who-is-in-the-space channel
  • Group meetings on Mondays have restarted subject to low local infection rates
  • Limited access (up to 6 people) on Monday evenings for non-keyholders
  • It is your responsibility to remain within the legal guidelines
  • Keep safe, keep legal, stay at home if you can
  • Only consider coming if you are not showing any Covid 19 symptoms.
  • If you have just come back from holiday or a trip you must quarantine for two weeks
  • Post in #who-is-in-the-space that you are intending to come and when you arrive and leave - max 6 persons in the main space at any given time, 3 people in Metalspace - this will be revised as we see how it works out
  • Please bring a mask – re useable masks on sale at £1
  • Wear your mask when moving around in the space
  • On arrival scan test and trace QR code (Download NHS Covid 19 app)
  • Sign in on list on clipboard (government requirement)
  • Wash and/or sanitise hands frequently (pencil will be handled by everyone)
  • The main desk should be clear - sanitise the area you are going to work in
  • Clean and sanitise equipment, door handles and switches when you when you arrive
  • Make sure other members are happy with the distance you keep.
  • When you leave please remove all your stuff and clear away your rubbish - this means other people do not have to touch it.
  • Clean and sanitise equipment, door handles and switches again when you when you leave
  • Make sure you leave enough time to clear up
  • If anyone feels uncomfortable, they must feel able to say so – let’s have culture of consideration for the most vulnerable or worried


Things to consider:-


  • The tuck shop is low-stock so bring your own food if you can.
  • There are sealed milk portions in the fridge
  • If you want to use your own mug, please bring one with you (or water bottle)
  • Wash and sanitise your hands more often than usual
  • We cannot sanitise the whole space, however the virus dies on most surfaces after 72 hours so please keep visits spaced and clean anything you touch
  • If you are extra vulnerable, please stay away to protect yourself, unless essential


  • If there is an increased outbreak in Norwich, we will revise the plan and we may be required to close completely. We review the plan in line with government and local guidance
  • Please check into Slack regularly and especially #notices and #virus-chat for updates
