The membership system needed a complete overhaul after years of piecemeal changes.
An amateur furniture group hoped to reopen a dilapidated workshop whose cracked windows, peeling surfaces, and damaged cupboards showed years of neglect.

They also proposed an overhaul of the tool-booking process, which had lost track of equipment even when the room was in better condition.
