[Abbenay] Membership?

I added this

"Becoming a member

Abbenay Hackspace is a non-profit organisations which works to facilitate
what the members want to do.

In order to do this we have created a so called "förening" in Young
Resaerchers. This lets us use the UFS office, apply for funding, etc. Young
Researchers exists to promote the interest of science and technology among
young people. We (Young Researchers and Abbenay) believe that a hackspace
does this. You can become a member of this förening.

You can also continue to be active in Abbenay without being a member of said
förening. A good way of doing this is simply joining the mailing
list<http://eval.nu/mailman/listinfo/abbenay_eval.nu>
."
