Member Storage Registry

2024-08-22T19:36:26Z

Cjoshmartin: /* Catwalk Shelf Registry */

== ‘’’Procedure May 2024’’’ ==

To Aquire a Shelf or Locker

* Contact info@pumpingstationone.org with your desired locker location to have your membership upgraded to “Member with Storage”. The upgrade will be visible in your Wild Apricot membership portal. A storage locker is an additional $30 monthly.
* Once assigned a locker, write your full name, or the email address attached to your membership account, LEGIBLY on a piece of tape and stick it to your locker.

You should use the same name or email address here that you have listed on [https://membership.pumpingstationone.org the members site] so that we can verify your membership status. This will help you avoid your storage space getting ticketed and you having to do something about it later.

== Catwalk Shelf Registry ==

''' -Alpha Alpha designations refer to mini shelves used for PS1 official projects '''

The catwalk is where some of our [[member leased server Systems]] infrastructure are located. Additionally, member shelves are on the catwalk.

'''Please do not store items on the catwalk, except on member shelves. Loose items will be ticketed'''

On the catwalk, numbering starts with the upper left shelf and goes down, then across.
