Teach the new folks about the space

If you're interested in helping with member meetings, tours, onboarding - contact Andrew.

Bike storage - what's the plan?

Wall that is under the water pipes where the dust collector used to be - this area is a potential storage space.
Could be a pulley system - use dead space.
Would like to have an inside storage option that doesn't require upper body strength.
The back door could be more convenient to ride a bike through.
There is a lot of dead space in the lounge - tables against the wall.
