You cannot take them away and you cannot use them anywhere else. This is a strict requirement imposed by our liability insurers.

Consumables are for the reasonable light use of all members in their projects. If you are using a large proportion of our stock of any item, you should consider buying it it yourself rather than depleting the Hackspace's communal supply. Common janitorial, maintenance, and PPE items are also classed as consumables. text/html 2024-12-13T18:02:02+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.bristolhackspace.org/manual/donating?rev=1734112922&do=diff Donations and Stuff for Hacking Donated Stuff for Hacking is our ever-changing collection of items that anyone can use in their projects, however they see fit.
