** What?
This meeting is to start getting together a crowd to open a NW
Hackspace in Stockport/Manchester. Want to find out more about what a
hackspace is? Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackspace for (a
few) more details.

The meeting will discuss the concept of hackspaces, our possible
location (Broadstone Mill - the building next door) and much more
(hopefully)!

**Notes

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.

**Getting there

* 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).

173 Bus Timetable: http://www.gmpte.com/upload/routemaps/173_27235.pdf
192 Bus Timetable: http://www.gmpte.com/upload/routemaps/192_27142.pdf
203 Bus Timetable: http://www.gmpte.com/upload/routemaps/203_27276.pdf

* By Car

For those in cars or who live nearby, here are two different maps of
the same place by different organisation:

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. Broadstone Road (next to the pub) is a main road with double
yellow lines, so please don't park on the main road.
