Trustees
The hackspace is run by volunteers. A board of seven give some of their spare time to ensure the space continues to run. Each board member takes responsibility for a particular area listed in the table below. Additionally, each role has a deputy who also exercises some oversight in that area. Either of these can be your first port of call if you want to discuss a particular issue.
Just because board members handle a particular area, please don't assume that means you can't do things. Plenty of members care and want to help out with stuff, and the hackspace is fundamentally quite a permissive space. The reason these roles exist is just to provide a level of awareness and coordination between different aspects of the space.
