This meeting is to start getting together a crowd to open a 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, and consider looking around
http://hackerspaces.org.
We'll be at the Grey Horse Public House on Saturday 18th July at 7pm.

The meeting will discuss further the research we've done towards
getting a permanent location, more discussions on funding, talking
about our current and possible future projects, and much more
(hopefully)!

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).

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.
