I'm going to Barcamp Media City at the new BBC base on Saturday but I was just planning to head to Salford. I'd forgotten about SFD, shame on me. Maybe I could stop by there for a bit too.<br><br>If you want a lift in that direction I can get you to Salford and then it's a fairly short bus hop to MadLab. I won't be getting there till lunch time. So if you want to arrive when the doors open at 11am you'll have to make your own way.<br>
<br>If any other LivLuggers want to come there's 2 free seats in my car. We can split petrol money and save the planet in one fell swoop :)<br><br>See ya,<br><br>Dan<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/9/14 Bob Ham <span dir="ltr"><rah@bash.sh></span><br>

Location<br>
--------<br>
The event will take place at Madlab on Edge Street in the Northern<br>
Quarter. "(Between Thomas St and the Craft Centre, opposite A Bar Called<br>
Common)". The venue provides wifi. After the event we will go for drinks<br>
and food to continue the informal discussions. This will be at<br>
location(s) decided on the day.<br>
<br>
Transport<br>
---------<br>
Parking: There are parking meter bays on the street but its very<br>
expensive, only really good for a short stop. There are paid parking<br>
lots around the venue, the light blue P in this OpenStreetMap centred on<br>
Madlab<br>
