[Swansea Hackspace] [Notice] We're moving out - End of the Wind Street Space

[Swansea Hackspace Directors]

Hi all,

This email is being sent directly to all paid members as well as to the
mailing list.

Yesterday afternoon (28th) the directors were sent notice from our
landlord's letting agent that they have found someone willing to rent
our space at the full commercial rate. We have therefore been given just
4 weeks to vacate and move everything out.

This has always been a possibility, but the middle of a pandemic
obviously isn't a great time to be finding new premises and we're having
to proceed on the basis that we will not have a new home for the space
before the end of our notice period.

What you need to do:

All personal property needs to be removed from the space before the
18th of September. Feel free to take your storage box with you.

*** Any property remaining in the space after the 18th may be disposed of
at the discretion of the directors ***

If you are not able to visit the space before the 18th, please contact
the directors to make other arrangements.

The COVID-19 rules remain in place, so please let us know when you're
planning to visit. We're also still open for bookings to use the space
and our equipment as normal until the 18th.

Non-keyholders please contact the directors or another keyholder to
arrange for one of us to be present to open the space for you. For the
purposes of collecting property we will relax the "one household at a
time" rule, but please ensure that you remain at least 2m from members
and other building occupants that are not part of your household or
extended household, and consider wearing a face mask during your visit.

The hackspace's own property will be stored until we can find ourselves
new premises or we have exhausted all reasonable alternatives.

If anyone is aware of suitable alternative premises, send the details
(most importantly, including the price) to the directors:
directors at swansea.hackspace.org.uk
A link to the details from a letting agent/estate agent would be ideal,
although we are also looking at those.

We will be making further announcements about membership fees soon, and
certainly before the next round of direct debits are processed. We will
also email nearer the time looking for volunteers to help move
everything out.

Kind regards,

Tom, Tim, Liz, Andy and Alice
Directors, Swansea Hackspace
