* [https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08l581p '''The Repair Shop'''] - Fixing things and avoiding waste is very much a part of our ethos, but we do not provide a repair service to the public outside of [[Events/repaircafe|repair cafe events]]. People wanting to repair stuff are very welcome to become members and get full access to all our facilities. If you join up, we'll help '''you''' fix it, but we won't fix it for you.
* '''A youth training or childcare center''' - Members are welcome to [[Policy/visitorsandchildren|bring one child or guest]] with them, but only legal adults over 18 years old can be members or take part in most activities at rLab. This is for insurance, data protection, and safeguarding reasons.
* '''A campsite''' - Members are welcome to take a kip in their car if it is necessary for health and safety, but pitching up your tent or motor home, and use of the space exclusively for habitation is strictly prohibited.

==== Mailing list and Wiki and other online accounts====
Most of the discussion between rLab members that isn't in-person takes place on our discord server, you will get an invite to this as part of joining. We also have a [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/reading-hackspace google groups] mailing list that is open to members and non-members.
Most of the discussion between rLab members that isn't in-person takes place on our [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/reading-hackspace google groups] mailing list. You don't have to have to join the group when you join rLab, and indeed quite a few of our members either only read the mailing list occasionally or not at all, but if you're not on the group you may find it quite hard to get your voice heard when we're discussing things important to rLab like the direction that the group takes or how we spend money. If you'd like to join the mailing list without having a google account then you can just send a [mailto:reading-hackspace+subscribe@googlegroups.com message to subscribe] or follow the instructions [https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/15393/how-to-subscribe-by-email-to-a-google-groups-mailing-list-with-daily-digest-opti here] should help you.▼
