Common)". We will be located upstairs. The venue provides wifi. The
event will be followed by an informal discussion in the bar opposite (A
Place Called Common <http://www.aplacecalledcommon.co.uk/>).

Transport
---------
Parking: Around the venue there are parking meter bays which are zero
cost on Sundays but they get full up so you might have to find one
further out.

Public Transport: Manchester Victoria (MCV) train station, Shudehill
tram station and Manchester Piccadilly bus station are all fairly close
to Madlab, see OpenStreetMap centred on Madlab

Manchester Piccadilly (MAN) train station and Manchester Central Coach
