PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The below list aims to highlight all items which need to be covered when giving prospective new members a tour of So Make It on their first visit; a lot of these points may state the obvious but should hopefully cover absolutely everything.
The objective is to go over all these points without giving too much detail - it's very easy to get bogged down on one step but there's a lot to cover! We want to give people all the information they need but without overloading them with detail, so keep it brief and let them guide you as to which aspects they would like to know more about.
