[Nottingham] Basford Datacentre Visit

Mon Sep 26 08:47:58 UTC 2016

Good morning all,

Further to the below,

Those that wish to attend on the 20th October, please provide the information requested below, so that I may begin to request access to the site for you all.

Visit date/time - 20th October 2016 / 15:00
Visitor name(s) - 
Company name - 
Vehicle registration(s) if parking required) - 
Reason for visit - Introductory visit
Approximate visit duration - 1 Hour 
Site - SDC/RD

I also again need to express that you do need to bring some form of photographic ID with you on the day, e.g Passport of Driving Licence.  We do need to take a copy of this so that we can hold it on record so that we can satisfy our ISO27001 accreditation.  If further visits are wanted or requested we would not need to take this again.

I hope this makes sense but let me know otherwise.

Barry

Hi all,

Thats perfect Martin, thank you.

With that in mind I would propose the 20th October for the visit from lets say 3pm onwards.  I don't need to know exact numbers immediately but I would say if you could let me know by the 13th October so I can try and get some refreshments sorted for you.

I need to point out we would need to take a copy of individuals photo ID that we would keep on record here so that we can give evidence of who entered the facility for ISO27001 purposes, if you ever wanted / needed to come back in again we would not need to take another copy.

I would also need to take car registrations for those who will be driving to the site.

Again,  for those of you that are interested in attending please do confirm with me on my direct email, which again is barry.fox at spacedatacentres.co.uk.

Speak to you all soon

Barry

Barry,

We usually meet every 1st, 3rd, and 5th (if there is one) Thursday each
month.

We also include a few extras around Beeston to fill in any gaps...

And then there are occasional impromptu celebrations as is the case for
tonight. :-)

Take a look on:

http://nottingham.lug.org.uk/events/list?tribe_event_display=past

for what we've recently done.

And we're usually quite spontaneous such that we'll be doing 'something'
'interesting' even if the website doesn't get updated until on the day!

(Best is to watch the maillist.)

A Thursday would make good sense, including for the ready availability
of late transport.

At the moment, a good assumption is that you'll have Paul, Jason, John
and myself interested. We run quite a few machines between us...

Others? Please list your interest.

(Normally, people do not get to walk into the cloud... Or the Matrix...
:-) )

Cheers,
Martin
