Subject: Stockport & S/E Manchester Hackspace - 18th July at 7PM


This meeting is to start getting together a crowd to open a Hackspace in 
Stockport. Want to find out more about what a hackspace is? Check out 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackspace for (a few) more details, and 
consider looking around http://hackerspaces.org <http://hackerspaces.org/>.

We'll be at the Grey Horse Public House on Saturday 18th July at 7pm. 
Please show your interest by clicking "I'm going" on the Upcoming Event 
Page at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/3073239

The meeting will discuss further the research we've done towards getting 
a permanent location, more discussions on funding, talking about our 
current and possible future projects, and much more (hopefully)!

http://groups.google.com/group/stockporthackspace or drop in to the IRC 
channel on the Freenode network

How to get there
----------------------

Remember, although this is listed with a Stockport Postcode, the venue 
for this event is within the M60, and closer to Manchester City Centre 
than Didsbury, with very frequent train and bus links, plus easy access 
to major routes into Manchester and Stockport.

* By Train

Take the train from either Stockport (STP) or Manchester Piccadilly 
(MAN) to Heaton Chapel (HTC) train station which is approximately a 15 
minute walk from the pub, or you can also get the train to Reddish North 
(RDN) station from Manchester Piccadilly, which is about a 30 minute 
walk away.

* By Bus

If you want to get the bus, the 42A and 173 buses go right past the pub 
and the mill, while the 203 bus stops just up the road (at Holdsworth 
Square) and the 192 stops on Stockport Road (the A6).

There's also a third map at the top of the Upcoming web page where the 
venue is listed.

The pub has an attached carpark and there are lots of nearby side streets.

which cover events in the area.)
