Message-ID: <1402946730.10918.30.camel@emerald.geode.org.uk> We have just signed the lease on our very first dedicated space, hurray! We now need YOUR help to make this a great place to be. -- First and foremost, we will have a whole stack of bills to pay getting this set up, so we need people to join and pay their sign-up fees so that we have some working cash. You can pay via PayPal on the website right now, you can email me for bank details to make a transfer, or you can find us in person to pay cash. http://swansea.hackspace.org.uk/Main/Membership We are asking for a ?20 signup, and ?10 per month fees. -- We have a moving in date of Monday 23rd June, and plan to hold our first social/open evening in the space the following monday (30th). In-between we will need some volunteers to move furniture, and help organise and setup the space, let me know if you may be available that week. -- We now need various pieces of furniture in order to make the space more usable, I will post a separate list of items what we require, we ask people to get out there, scour the charity shops, boot sales, and barns for any items they can beg, buy, or scrounge. If in doubt, please ask first.

I could assume that we are just going to go with Monday nights, but i thought i would give you all a chance to have a say, so please vote for which night you want the social, and which days you would like to see tech/workshop meetings. http://swansea.hackspace.org.uk/Polls/SocialNight From justin at swansea.hackspace.org.uk Mon Jun 23 19:04:54 2014 From: justin at swansea.hackspace.org.uk (Justin Mitchell) Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2014 19:04:54 +0100 Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] [Announce] First Social / Open Meeting Message-ID: <1403546694.31258.6.camel@emerald.geode.org.uk> We now have the keys to the space, yay. Our very first Social and Open Night will be Monday 30th June, 7pm, Swansea Hackspace, 4th Floor, 11 Wind Street. There should be someone on the door to let people in around the start time, if there isnt, call 01792 824 624 to get let in (or call anyone you know is already there). Improved access is being organised, and further details will be provided during the meeting. During this week we need to get the furniture and other things sorted out, I plan to go and raid the corner shop at the dump, and maybe some charity shops this thursday if anyone wants to help. So come along next monday, check out the space, grab a slice of free pizza, and join the fun.

To minimise the number of lost looking faces milling around Wind St, where is the door in relation to other places? Got a photo of the outside perhaps?
