basically i have a factory in the town centre that i cant really develop as it is planned to be demolished in about 3-5 years however i want to start some interesting projects from there it has office space, studio space, an open space that was the main factory, a planning room pretty shabby as it has a 70’s retro refurb but that can be fixed.
i also am involved with some interesting web development stuff and audio/visual,circuit bending etc
em i guess we should meet up and i can tell you some more— On Mon, 12/10/09, Jon Spriggs jon@spriggs.org.uk wrote:

Hi Janey,
Thanks for the really amazing offer! Stockport Hackspace
currently don’t have somewhere we can call
"Home", so if you’ve got space somewhere that
we might be able to use, that’d be really helpful!
We currently meet two nights a month - on the second
Thursday of each month and the fourth Wednesday both from
7PM onwards. Would this work for you at all, or are there
set times for security features in your building? We have
been looking to try and organise a Saturday day event, so if
the evenings don’t work, would you be willing to host us
for a Saturday?
Perhaps, if it’s convenient, some of us from the
Hack Space could come and talk with you one evening about
what you’re offering, and what you’d hope we could
bring to you?
Also, if it’s not too cheeky, I’d really like to
hear more about what you’re doing at the moment - the
electronic mapping sounds intriguing and the word Neural
always trips certain triggers in my mind! Even if we
can’t work with you in your space, I’d love for you
to talk to us as a group about what you’ve done?
Regards,
–

Im not sure what you mean,
Hello Janey,
I just meant, as in are the details confidential or can
you share them on the two mailing lists (the StockportHS
one to which you sent your original mail, and the
NW Hackspace one which was cc’d in my mail to you).
i run a company called Manchester Creative Collectives
and i have a
Factory in town, a friend of mine who is a circuit
bender enthusiast
told me that hackspace were looking for space and well
we have alot of
projects that cross over inc mapping electronic
circuits on a city and
a neural framework project.
That sounds cool. The Liverpool Hackspace group
started partly from a creative/art background, and
I know the guys in Manchester & Stockport are
creatives as well as techies…
Are you guys looking for space?
Well, we have various groups at different stages of
looking
for or taking on space, but I’m certain that many on
the list
will be interested, so I’m answering by cc’ing the
e-mail
to both lists, so that anyone there can answer (please
keep Janey cc’d in with your replies as she’s not
an hsNW
subscriber).
