Dear MakerspaceFY1 (Blackpool Linux user group),

I'm writing to tell you about Make:Shift:Do our UK-wide doors open festival 
of digital making. The Crafts Council, the V&A, the Institute of Making and 
Ultimaker UK would like to invite your organisation to host an open day or 
workshop for Make:Shift:Do 2015: a festival celebrating digital innovation 
in craft.

Applications are invited from makerspaces, FabLabs, hackspaces, maker 
collectives, creative programmes, educational initiatives and other 
interested parties that wish to open their doors and share their work with 
the public. Events can fit as a part of your regular programming or act as 
a one-off event to bring new participants to your organisation.

We invite you to join us on October 23 & 24 as maker spaces across the UK 
throw open their doors for anyone to try their hand at new forms of making. 
You can choose to host an event on either or both days over the weekend. 
Participants are eligible for a £100 open-day bursary to help cover costs 
or further funding of up to £300 for in-depth events or workshops (limited 
funding available).

More information can be found here: 
www.make-shift-do.org.uk<http://www.make-shift-do.org.uk> and applications 
can be made via the Crafts Council website or accessed directly here 
https://www.craftscouncil.org.uk/account/application-make-shift-do - you

You may also wish to review our guidance notes available here:

Applications are due Monday August 24 at noon.

If you have any questions please do let me know, I am happy to answer 
questions or discuss ideas in advance of the application deadline,

Best wishes,

- Chris
