"Welcoming our April 2024 Start Boost Members – Conor and Snoof!"

We’d like to welcome our new April 2024 start Boost members, Conor McDonald and Snoof Kattekop.

Workshop Membership Winner – Conor McDonald

Conor is our new workshop member and says “I’m 38, originally from Ireland but have lived in Liverpool for over 20 years now. I’m an Electrician by background, but have recently got in to 3D Printing at home. I hope to use my workshop time to hone my skills in 3D printing as well as branching out and learning how to use new kit. I’m really looking forward to using the CNC routers and laser cutters, and seeing how I can combine them with 3D printed items. “

Desk Membership Winner – Snoof Kattekop

Guessing that most of you will already know Snoof, our new desk member, already a DoES Liverpool organiser and active member of the community. She says that she’s planning “to make a little bit of everything, as chaotically as possible, but as always for me the community is the most important part :)”.

You can find out more about Boost membership here – keep an eye on our socials for your chance to apply for our July 2024 start membership.

"Week 665 – Lithoplanes, Hearts and Flowers"

Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

Boost Membership – April Start

We’re very late this time, so let’s get boosting quickly!

If you already know what you’re doing then head over here to apply otherwise read on for more information about Boost membership.

Apply for Boost Membership

The DoES Liverpool Boost Membership was introduced to celebrate the 10th anniversary of DoES Liverpool – the amazing coworking and shared workshop space in the Fabric District of Liverpool. Boost membership gives two people the opportunity to use the space free of charge for six months either with an allocated desk or by having 24-hour access to the workshop.

As things continue to be difficult for people due to inflation, fuel prices and all the economic woes we’re dealing with at the moment we thought it would be worth pointing out that boost membership is open to anyone, even existing paying members. If 6 months free membership would help you out at the moment then feel free to apply, of course if you’re not already a paying member you are still welcome to apply.

Applications are open until 11:59pm on Sunday 17th March 2024, any applications received after this point will not be considered. We will endeavour to announce the winners as soon as possible afterwards.

We have a dedicated page with lots more information about Boost Membership so if you want to find out more just head over there and take a look!

And please share with anyone you think might benefit.
