[Swansea Hackspace] Re: Informal meetup and searching for locations

[Gerrit Niezen]

Hi all,

From the few people that responded to the Doodle it seems that Monday 11 March at 20h00 might be a good evening for a meetup? 

I read through http://hackspace.org.uk/view/Starting_a_Hackerspace and thought it will be a good idea if we just socialise/hack together instead of trying to plan how we'll build the hackerspace, as most of that can be organised/discussed on the mailing list instead.

We still need a venue for the meetup - does anybody know of a nice pub that will let us use their back room or won't mind laptops etc.?

Cheers,
Gerrit
