Membership Options

The following image shows the new model starting 1 July 2018, on our 1st Anniversary. We are trying a single option for all new members – just $20/month and we will increase the number of supported access times and types of activity. A major impact will hopefully be to families, as a parent can now join and just sign-up their under 16 year old children for FREE. Wednesday evenings are still our Drop-in session, so, come along and see how things work.

You can Pay your on-going membership fee using either Bank eTransfer via Interac (setup a Transfer Payee as “OceansideMakerspace@gmail.com” it’s free to both of us), or use the following PayPal form (takes Paypal or Credit Card, but costs MakerSpace about 3%). Please don’t use these methods if you are not currently or have been, a member – please visit the MakerSpace first.

Below, is the first year pricing model – I’m sure you will agree that the new methods is simpler and much more affordable, especially for involving children and grand-kids.

The basic model of operation of the Club will be through a typical annual membership fee, currently based on $40/month, with a 3 month minimum joining period. To be paid at any time during the year and to be renewed on the expiry date. During 2017 (start-up year), we discounted these Full Member rates, while we were setting up the Space.

We are currently not taking Annual Memberships, in an effort to synchronize the majority of current members to around the July 2018, the start of our second year.

We recognize that some people will not be able to afford that level of cost, or only want to try out the service for a few months, or may leave town through the winter, so we have defined a number of other option to allow you  to be involved in this new and exciting club:

Single: $40/m, annual per month $480
pay monthly, minimum period 3 months, 3x$40 = $120
pay annual, first month 11x$40 = $440

Family (2 adults and 2 children, same address all named): $75/m, annual per month = $900
