161 is quite different to your average working environment.

We’re not a serviced or staffed space, we have no cleaners and no management. In order to keep things ticking over nicely here are some essentials we ask everyone to be mindful of when using the space.

• • Participation is an extreme sport. You break or lose it, you replace it.

• • Equipment and Professional Liability is your own responsibility (our insurance can’t cover it).

• • Cleaning up, emptying bins & recycling are everyone’s responsibility.

• • Washing tea towels & cleaning toilets are everyone’s responsibility.

• • Do leave the spaces as you found them, or in better shape (decoration is welcomed).

• • Anyone who behaves in an antisocial manner will be asked to leave.

• • Be responsible and respectful with your internet usage. No bit-torrent or prOn.

• • Respect other peoples privacy, confidentiality, safety, property and data.

• • If a key-holder asks you to leave you must skedaddle.

With huge thanks to Natasha @So_ray_ah for her time and expertise in shaping this, and the http://theskiff.org for the initial inspiration, we hope this document will evolve as the needs of our community do and we’re already thinking about treating it as an open-source asset for other communities and spaces to develop upon – watch this space. We hope it helps and inspires!
