[Blackpool] Fwd: Re: I would like to post this appeal on the group

Hi All

Kimball has reposted the appeal to the Preston Hackspace Google Group 
now, but we've had a very positive response from Chris Dell, who has 
attended the Makerspace a couple of times this.

Regards

I have no problem at all committing to paying £10/week if it helps with 
keeping the makerspace open. Would sign up in a heartbeat. :-)

    Hi All,
    This is a post from Blackpool Makerspace mailing list, the
    Makerspace is currently based at Ripon Road in Blackpool, however it
    is due to be sold probably in or around  September. This will mean
    that we will be without premises for the Makerspace and Blackpool
    Linux User Group.  If anyone would be interested in entering into a
    joint Hack/Makerspace please read on, we would be love to here from you.

    We now need to decide if we have enough members who are willing to
    pay a subscription to take on another premises.

    Losing the Makerspace would be a huge blow to our group, but it
    needs to be financed to support it's growth.

    We estimate that it will cost at least a £100 week to rent a new
    premises and to pay towards the utility bills.

    We have 4 people committed to paying £10 per week, they are myself,
    Tony, Olly and Les. So we need to raise at least another £60 a week.

    We need more people to subscribe at any level that they can afford
    (up to £10/week) to keep a Makerspace in Blackpool. Please subscribe
    and help fund our Makerspace which has done so much great work in
    the Geek Community.

    In the longer term, the more people that join the Makerspace, the
    cheaper the subscriptions will eventually become, this makes it
    better value for everyone.

    If this is not of interest to you but you know someone who might be
    interested, please feel free to pass on this e-mail to them.

    If you or anyone else would like to help please get in touch by any
    of the methods listed below.

    Thank you.

    Best regards,
