April 2024

Loved the PDF documenting how to use and enter the space on a weekend day. Loved the spaciousness of the room. Loved the central location.

The carpet in the room hadn't been vacuumed from the previous use of the room and there were biscuit or bread crumbs all over the floor next to the whiteboard.
