[Swansea Hackspace] What next

[Tom Lloyd]

Swansea Uni don't have enough room for us now, but they will have a new
campus ready in Summer 2015 if things go to plan, so it might be worth
asking then.  Of course we need somewhere a bit sooner than that :)  As far
as I know nobody has asked at the Met...

I think once we've done the hard part - finding a space and setting up in
it - we should approach local media to spread the word.  If you build it,
they will come!
