(Please feel free to forward this invitation to anyone or any mailing
list you feel to be appropriate.)

A start to getting together a crowd to open a NW Hackspace in Stockport.
Want to find out more about what a hackspace is? Check out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackspace for (a few) more details.

For the first meeting, we'll be at the Grey Horse Public House on
Broadstone Road, Reddish, SK5 7AS on Wednesday 24 June at 7pm.

The meeting will discuss the concept of hackspaces, our possible
location (Broadstone Mill - the building next door) and much more
(hopefully)!

Want to start the discussion already? Drop in to the IRC channel on the
Freenode network

How to get there
----------------------

Remember, although this is listed with a Stockport Postcode, the venue
for this event is within the M60, and closer to Manchester City Centre
than Didsbury, with very frequent train and bus links, plus easy access
to major routes into Manchester and Stockport.

* By Train

Take the train from either Stockport (STP) or Manchester Piccadilly
(MAN) to Heaton Chapel (HTC) train station which is approximately a 15
minute walk from the pub, or you can also get the train to Reddish North
(RDN) station from Manchester Piccadilly, which is about a 30 minute
walk away.

* By Bus

If you want to get the bus, the 42A and 173 buses go right past the pub
and the mill, while the 203 bus stops just up the road (at Holdsworth
Square) and the 192 stops on Stockport Road (the A6).

173 Bus Timetable: http://www.gmpte.com/upload/routemaps/173_27235.pdf
192 Bus Timetable: http://www.gmpte.com/upload/routemaps/192_27142.pdf
203 Bus Timetable: http://www.gmpte.com/upload/routemaps/203_27276.pdf

* By Car

For those in cars or who live nearby, here are two different maps of the
same place by different organisation:

There's also a third map at the top of the Upcoming web page where the
venue is listed.

The pub has an attached carpark and there are lots of nearby side
streets. Broadstone Road (next to the pub) is a main road with double
yellow lines, so please don't park on the main road.
