Hackland as Temporary Accommodation

JS Jonathon Shields Public Seen by 162

Should Hackland be able to be used as temporary accommodation?

Yes, but only in an emergency situation for a maximum of two nights stay
People that stay should contribute koha on top of membership for a nights stay.

I think it's an interesting experiment we can try which might evolve into a new separate thing

Tom, that dude coma'd out it in the storage space was me. I converted the storage space into a relaxation room/quiet with an Osim Body Massager and an Osim back and neck/shoulder massager. If people are not keen on the idea it can be undone in 5 minutes, but so far all the feedback has been positive. And I was coma'd out because I fell asleep whilst using the back massager and watching a video.
Also, I saw that you and Steve were doing a lot of physically demanding work in the Hackland wood shop and might want a good massage after all that labour. So please try out the massagers in the relaxation room before passing final judgement. In regards to feeling weird about showing people around, I can remove the massagers and it will once again be a storage room full of clutter that will eventually be converted into something. Or, until that happens, it stays the relaxation room, an oasis that members can escape to if they want a massage and/or a quiet space to recharge. Cheers!

Hey man, didn't realise you were just relaxing when I first saw you, and given the poll's wording, and having noticed a few (other) people sleeping upstairs the other night, I assumed that Hackland was making some decisions regarding whether it's a good idea, in general, to have people stay the night. I personally think this is a bit of a slippery slope and not something that we should, in general, encourage. But that's just me.

And yes, in general I feel like that room could do with a makeover, happy to help if someone has clear plans for it. Relaxation chairs don't bother me at all, but re the wider question of people staying the night I still feel that, in general, it's a bad idea.
