Hello Members!
As a result of Tuesday’s member meeting it has been concluded that we need to improve our decision-making process. Attendees of member meetings may have noticed the same things being talked about time and again, with little to show for. By establishing a set of bylaws to operate these meetings with we can make definite decisions on controversial topics, but still leave them open to amendments later on.
At least that is one way we could set up the bylaws. If you want to talk about the process these meetings, we have scheduled a Bylaws Discussion for Wednesday 29th from 5pm to 8pm to begin with. If you have an interest in the way things operate at the space you need to attend this meeting! This meeting is going to make difference in the way decisions are made and the way your voice is heard.
You can RSVP and for the meeting on our website or on the Facebooks.
Aside: the meeting notes will be sent out in a few days.
Regards,
Alex
We are pleased to announce another successful collaboration with the Portsmouth Halloween Parade. Port City Makerspace once again provided the music for the grand marshal and crew to dance their way along at the front of the parade. It was also our pleasure to host two costume making events this year in collaboration with the Portsmouth Halloween Parade.
Portsmouth’s West End is the frontier of the Portsmouth scene. Come celebrate with the key players who keep the area wierd at the second anual West End Harvest Festval. Besides Port City Makerspace you can expect a showing fromToboggon, Farmhack, seacoast robotics,Port City Peds, and more!
See demonstrations on activities in all of our shops plus special demonstrations from our partners and members.
Fall Harvest is about making things to get you through the long New England winter, so what better place to have a harvest festival than Port City Makerspace? Come join us in the celebration of cultural ingenuity and regional craft as we make apple cider in our hand crank press and celebrate the traditions of the fall season. This event is free and open to everybody. Food and Drink will be available for sale. Saturday November 23rd 4-8pm
Portsmouth could really use a community bicycle program, a place where kids and adults alike could go and learn to fix bicycles and have free access to parts that other people no longer need. Port City Makerspace has been in contact with the city of Portsmouth transfer station about starting to direct bicycles out of the trash stream, but what to do with all those bicycles? We are holding a brainstorming session about starting a community bike program on Friday Aug 30th 6-8pm. Anyone interested in participating in this or just interested in seeing it happen is invited to attend.
