RUNNING YOUR EVENT
Before the event, prep all of your tools and materials you will need to make sure you have enough and that they work.
Show up at least 15 minutes early so you are ready to let in any early comers.
Make sure each visitor has signed a waiver, the day of the event or on a previous visit.
Have each visitor sign in.
If you will have more than 10 guests, arrange for another member to be present to help host.
Before or after your event, please explain what the Bodgery is and give a quick overview of membership and that everyone is welcome to join.
Collect any funds requested for the event. (The Bodgery requests a minimum of 20% for classes/workshops.)
Make sure guests are not using any restricted tools or space.
After the event, make sure all tools and materials have been put away, and that any messes have been cleaned up.
If your class filled the trash or recycling, please empty the can(s) in the dumpsters at the back of the parking lot.
