Anyone else in Swansea seen the new "community centre" attempt in 
Wind Street on the way down from the station? There is a fantastic 
big room upstairs and they want people to make use of it. 

It's opposite the big orange-and-purple garish flats, or whatever
they are.

It's all rather hippy-ish downstairs, so naturally I approve. 
They are trying to get a garden going out the back, get a 
drop-in coffee place going, and all sorts of stuff. They've
also just had a pile of computers nicked, so I wouldn't say 
it's necessarily somewhere safe to leave stuff, but they do
have power points in the upstairs room.

The only thing I'm not sure of is whether they're open at all 
in the evening. I can easily ring one of the organisers to
find out though.
