[Swansea Hackspace] Hackspace first meet 11March

Wed Mar 6 23:05:11 GMT 2013

Bus 30 seems to stop closest to the Halfway Inn:
Leaves 19:05 Swansea Bus Station
Arrives 19:23 Pentre-Dwr, Halfway Inn, Carmel Road

For a first informal meetup I think this place sounds fine. For future meetups we probably need a place that's easily reachable for everyone, and with Wi-Fi ;)

As for recognising each other, I thought it might be a good idea to print out that bright red logo on the Facebook page and place it on our table.

Cheers,
Gerrit
