Space improvements
You know how much we like to have a little upgrade each month, well this month is no different.
The Academy is now up and running we’ve added some plants and wall art and fresh extendable versatile tables.
Phone Booth 1 has had the foam treatment and so now has a less echoy sound.
We now have space for 12 people to work at standing desks, (6 with sockets) in The Kitchen & Lounge area. These do not need to be booked so feel free to take a break from sitting whilst still being productive.
And of course we’ve added more plants. We now have over 100 plants at IB. Thank you to all those who came out to Plant Potting Party. We are sure there will be more in the future.
Bank Holiday Open Hours
We will be closed for May Day on Monday 3rd May. We’ll see you back here on Tuesday 4th May!
Later in the month we will also close on Monday 31st May.
Dedicated Deskers & Weekenders are free to use the space as usual.
Enjoy your bank holiday weekends.
Lunch Club
Our Lunch Club returns at the end of April. It’s still free for memebers and will feature food from a local business.
We have a few changes, with the first being you will need to book a seat. This can be done via the IB app: Click the ‘More” tab (4 little squares in the bottom right hand corner), scroll down and click “Book Lunch Club”.
We’ll be in The Black Bar and the Lunch Club will be held on the last Friday of the month. Friday 30th April Book your ticket here
Community Spirits
Over the past few months members that have been in the building on a Friday know that we tend to have a small meeting after work on a Friday, dubbed Community Spirits.
As a member we encourage you to bring your spirit and a spirit to share with the community, to Punch Club fom 1700 every Friday. Punch Club is sponsored by Market Row Distillery.
On the last Friday of the month we have Cocktails & ….. (Comedy, Music, basically some sort of entertainment or socialising)
Each member is welcome to bring a guest for free; for any additional guests there will be a charge and this will vary on the entertainment. Keep an eye in the app for more details closer to the time. Until the world opens up a little more we will keep it to members and guest only.
Great work IB Team and a warm “Welcome!” to our new members!
We’ve been lucky in attracting so many like-minded and genuinely interesting people to our community and this trend seems to be continuing! I’ll endeavour to say hello over the next couple of weeks but feel free to stop me if you see me wandering by and we haven’t spoken yet.
Also, fabulous to hear Lunch Club is back along with the new end of month Cocktails & Comedy edition of Community Spirits. Feels like we’re slowly creeping back towards something resembling normal!
