**If you are coming to Makerfaire**

[Tom Oldbury (Email #2)]

Please post here if you are coming to Makerfaire to help out.

I just want to know who's coming and what is happening - planning is difficult without.

Currently need two volunteers for the van to help load/unload (along with myself).  Please indicate if you are willing to help move very big and heavy display panels.

Thanks

[Tom Oldbury (Email #2)]

I forgot to mention that I am planning on driving the van to a nearby Travelodge for the nights so if others want to stay there then feel free to do so,  will reduce the amount of travel.

It is Washington A1(M) Northbound Travelodge.

What are your travel dates? I’m able to assist with donkey work. If you need anything technical beyond plugging cables perhaps someone else would be more suitable. :)

I would like to come along.

I'm happy to help load/unload and "man the floor" at the show. I'm also
happy to take my car and 3/4 people. I can also take whatever basic
electronic tools we might need for on-the-fly repairs.

Juts let me know when and where.

Which nights do we need to book?

Ian

[Tom Oldbury (Email #2)]

Dates are 27th April to 29th April.  Stay from Friday to Sunday so two nights need to be booked.

Thanks Ian & Tim for your offers to help,  we will arrange something, I think Adam needs to come along too as the general electrician and he is sorting out some of the other stuff.

Just waiting on a Digikey order for one last part to build the displays.

[J C]

My offer of helping load and unload in leeds is still open.

[Tim Pinder]

Let me get the Travelodge booked then :)

wtf is a breakfast box?

[Robin Wood]

Expensive and not as good as taking your own breakfast

[Tim Pinder]

As I thought. Or even skipping breakfast altogether :(

[Tim Pinder]

Booked

Having expensed the odd breakfast box before, it's an utter disappointment.

Far better to go to a nearby Wetherspoons/etc in the city and pay them £4 for an actual breakfast-like collection of food.

Anyone planning on going up just for the day saturday preferable?

[Jon Stockill]

I'm going, I'm staying in Jurys Inn just over the road from the Centre
For Life on the Friday and Saturday night.

My original plan was to get the train up there, but if a lift is
available then that potentially means I can help both load and unload
the van.

I'll be around until teardown on Sunday, so the same applies then - I
can help load the van and get a train, or if I can scrounge a lift then
hopefully I'd be back in Leeds in time to help unload.

Other than sneaking off to get some pics around Makerfaire I'm likely to
be at our stand for the entire weekend.

I've booked the Travelodge for Friday and Saturday and am planning to
take my car.

Hey,

I'd like to come to the Saturday and Sunday at least. I'm not certain that I can make the Friday, but I will find out soon.

If there's a lift back on the Sunday going, that would be ace too.

I think we need a multi-way chat to sort logistics.

I just need to know when to be where and who I'm taking. :-)

Ian

[Tim Pinder]

We do. Perhaps Danger Tom would like to facilitate.

:)

We need to be around during the whole of the time Makerfaire is open to the public. Clearly we need to set up before that which I assume is part of the reason for travelling up on the Friday.

As people ha e gone quite trying to see who has seats and who could do with a lift can anyone tell me what time on Friday I need to get to the lift center so I can arrange a Coach if need be ?

I intend to drive up on the Friday and back on the Sunday. I will have
3/4 seats free. I'm happy to meet at Hackspace, help load van, and then
it's road trip mode.

I just need to know when to be where on Friday, Saturday AM, etc.

I guess we'll also need exhibition passes, etc.

Ian

[Tom Oldbury (Email #2)]

Current plan, somewhat flexible:-

Friday:

1pm - collect van.  whatever's cheapest.  will talk to Enterprise next door.

2pm - load the van with stuff

3pm - drive up to Newcastle, arrive 5-6pm 

6-7pm - have van unloaded & stuff in place and brief test

after - pub...

Saturday:

9am - arrive and test stuff

10am - start

Sunday

5pm - pack up

6pm - drive back to Leeds

[Tom Oldbury (Email #2)]

The thought is me plus two in the van and Ian is driving up for the other guys.  Anyone who does not fit in either will need to arrange alternate means.  Center for Life is next door to the train station so that is possibly the easiest option.

[Tom Oldbury (Email #2)]

One other thing

We have six places in total for assistance so if you want to help then it will be first-come first-serve on these

This will mean manning the stall talking to interested people (about hackspaces, the project,  anything else of interest) but there will be time to walk around Makerfaire as well to browse the other exhibits.

Lunch and I believe breakfast is also provided/subsidised by Makerfaire.

So far I think the list is:

- Me 

- Adam Horden (electrician)

- Ian Oliver

- Nav 

- Tim Pinder

- Ian Kernick(?)

- Samson(?)

Since we only have six places (this was arranged months before and apparently can't be changed - but I will ask again if this is problematic),  the last few need to be worked out.  Anyone who is not acting as an exhibitor - in other words if you are not prepared to stand around for most of Saturday and Sunday - will need a ticket.

[Tom Oldbury (Email #2)]

For reference buy tickets HERE,  adults are £8

https://makerfaireuk.com/buy-tickets/

[Tim Pinder]

Very happy to talk about hackspace and the project.

:)

Ye im planing on going as a stall helper :) . I might be going up before hand to drop stuff of at reletives and be meeting u there ?

[Tom Oldbury (Email #2)]

It would be helpful if all planning to go could message me their mobile number on Slack or email it to my address (click my username in Google Groups or ask a hackspace director)  so we can stay in touch on Whatsapp/Telegram etc

[Adam D. Horden]

Good Afternoon,

I will be free from Wednesday afternoon (working in Leeds so will be at the space as soon as my shift is finished). I am going to be at the space Wednesday and Thursday to make the displays electrically safe.

I have a tool bag, some test kit that has to go in the van. This is to cover all eventualities with the conference electrical engineers. I am covering everything in case they want to prove they are safe then I need test gear on site with me.

I have the same hotel booked.

I will start a thread but any one that is coming to help will get a embroidered Leeds Hackspace T-Shirt. In your size. I need to get T-Shirt sizes from everyone involved.

Hope this helps,

Adam D. Horden

Director Leeds Hackspace.

Plan may have to shift slightly because of Chinese Visa application (what a pain)

I plan to collect the van and have it at the hackspace by 2pm.

We will have stuff ready to load by then as it will be arranged at the night before.

I can help as an exhibitor. A free ticket would be nice if possible, but considering I won't be able to arrive until Saturday morning, I don't mind the free ticket going to someone else.

[samson B]

Should we bring along anything else we've printed/made so that our table looks interesting?

I have some 3D printed bits, electronics bits, etc. that I can cram into a box.

Ian

[t...@mkconsultants.eu]

Yep, that would probably be a good idea.

There was talk of bringing the small cube as well, which seems sensible.

Tom

[t...@mkconsultants.eu]

Ian, could you send me your mobile number so we can stay in contact on the day?

[Tom Oldbury (Email #2)]

Thank you to everyone who helped with Makerfaire!

We made it a tremendous success this year,  and I'm sure we'll be back next year with something equally crazy.

[J C]

Well done on organising and making it happen and thanks for everyone who got involved/ went along. Its great to see the space so well represented.
