[Swansea Hackspace] Next Technical Events?

[Richard Morgan]

It's often the case that people see 'free' events as something that can be
missed.

How do we feel about putting a 'ticket' price (~£10) on the events and
offering them to non-members too?

Or, more radical - how do we feel about 'paying' members for each new
person they can bring to a workshop (payback being that a % of new persons
will become members)...?


Guess we also need to get better at scheduling and lining up attendees with
Presenters dates to make it easier for everyone......

Or, more radical - we run the workshop and 'video' it so those that
couldn't attend (could be zero attendees) can still benefit, The presenter
has a useful workshop and the Hackspace has content it can post on-line to
attract new members (or charge for access behind a membership wall).


P.S. Wire-wrap Jewellery - not ranking! Have people not seen Game of
Thrones, they're all wearing it ;-)
