[Fwd: Maker Faire Newcastle 2010]
Adrian McEwen
Maker Faire. The last one was really good (and not just because I ended
up on the BBC News website as a result :-) and so I'm going to be
submitting some sort of proposal. I'm just not quite sure what yet...
If anyone else wants to submit an idea then there's a link to the
sign-up page in the email, or I'd also be up for joining forces to build
something bigger and better...
Adrian.

Dear Makers
We’re delighted to confirm we’ve secured sponsorship to run another
Faire to coincide with Newcastle Science Fest next March. The dates have
been confirmed for the weekend of 13^th and 14^th March which will
coincide with the opening weekend of the ten day Science Festival.
We’ve learned a lot from running our inaugural Faire in March and we’ll
be making improvements for both the exhibitors and the attendees. The
principal change is to incorporate the Makers indoors within the Centre
for Life (roughly where the Robo- Challenge was located). We’ll still
have the Marquee in the Square but that will be used for larger exhibits
and for Makers that may require more space or have demands beyond the
conventional space requirements.
We’d ask you to confirm your interest in attending next year’s Faire and
submit a brief proposal of the project you’d like to bring to the Faire.
This should be submitted by replying to this email no later than Friday
11^th December. We’ll then be considering all proposals from past
exhibitors and potential new Makers and confirm to everyone that’s
applied for space no later than 8^th January 2010 if their proposal has
been accepted.
If you know of other Makers that were not involved in this year’s Faire
but who may want to submit a proposal, please point them to the sign-up
page here <http://oreillymedia.co.uk:2474/makersinitialform.asp>.
Of course, in the interim, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any
queries you have and we’ll be delighted to assist you.
Best wishes
The UK Maker Team
