 === Hours of Operation ===
-The Bloominglabs Space is housed within the Collaboration Room maintained by Matthew Searl. Bloominglabs is accessible to members from 8am to 12pm 7 days a week. Quiet hours are 10pm to midnight. The Collaboration Room is also Matthew's home, as such we need to be good room-mates. If you need to access the space beyond those hours then arrangements should be made with Matthew.
+The Bloominglabs Space is accessible to members 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
-Wednesdays we have access to the large room immediately connected to our space from 6:30pm to 10:00pm for public meetings. Workshops generally have the same arrangement, we work with Matthew to arrange dates.
+Wednesdays are our public meetings from 6:30pm until midnight and the space can get rather busy.

 == Becoming a Member ==
-We want to make sure you can get the most from your experience with Bloominglabs. If you are interested in becoming a member we ask that you attend 3 meetings or workshops and get to know everyone first. Let someone know of your intent to join and we'll mark you down. Once this has happened we'll have you fill out a membership form and pay the first months dues. That's it! We always welcome new people and even if you don't wish to join you are welcome to hang out at the public meetings each week.
