How to Join

Come along and meet us! We have no requirement for membership if you're visiting for a chat or tour during a scheduled open event (like our Tuesday night open nights). We ask that you join when you want to contribute back to HSBNE or use any of our facilities.

Ready to Join? Follow these steps:

  1. Come in for a tour

    Get a feel for us in person before joining to make sure the culture will work for you. We try to cater for many people, but the unique volunteer powered way HSBNE runs isn't for everyone. We publish most public events (including tours) on our Facebook and Eventbrite pages.

  2. Register an account

    When you come to a tour at HSBNE we will give you an access card!

    With your access card, create an account on our member portal. The member portal is the central place to manage your membership, report issues, etc. so make sure you bookmark it! This is where you can start your membership subscription and do your general induction.

  3. Get site access

    Once you complete the sign up (Pay your subscription, enable your card, finish the general induction), your card will be enabled and you will be a member at HSBNE.

  4. Start getting inducted on tools.

    Check out the Tools Wiki to find the machines and how to get inducted on each.
