Hello London Hackspace and Followers of this list 

As you probably know there will be a UK Maker Faire in Newcastle on 27th & 28th April 2013 after a few conversations with the organisers O'Reilly it's been suggested that Hackerspaces could have a slightly more coordinated effort or presence at the UK Maker Faire. To this end O'Reilly are providing a Hackerspaces area which is to include Mitch Altmans' soldering tables. 

It's proposed that there will be a joint Hackerspaces table/area for UK and Irish Hackerspaces at the Faire. This is likely to consist of information about the UK & Irish Hackerspaces, where more information can be found or how to go about setting up a Hackerspace. It's likely to include lots of photos & videos about Hackerspaces a mailing list form for more information (probably propagated back to their local hackspace) and a really big interactive map with existing hackerspaces marked with QR codes and information about them. 

The combined effort isn't intended to replace anything you are already planning for the Faire. If you or your Hackerspace want to have your own exhibit or table at the Faire you still need to complete the Call to Makers on the UK Maker Faire webpage. 

If you would like to help with the combined Hackerspaces table/area then please do complete this form. 

thank you

Jonty and I also have plans to do something separately but we would
ask that, if you're planning to come to one Maker Faire next year,
please make it Newcastle. This is the main Maker Faire, The Centre for
Life is a great venue and Newcastle is a great city, and we'd love to
see UK hackerspaces out in force.

We will be having the customary UK Hackerspaces meetup on the Friday
night, so I'd recommend taking the Friday off ;)

Based on the last one I'd recommend taking the Saturday, Sunday and Monday off to recover as well
