I don't drive, and I know several others don't drive either, so it
might be an idea to try to carshare for transporting equipment to/from
the SU.

I know I have a ton of stuff to go down (see the wiki
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/HackathonBelfast#HardwareList) and taxies
with this kind of stuff are always a pain.

Basically, lets try and match up people who are relatively near each
other where one can drive and the other cant, simple enough, so I'll
start.

I'm just over the bridge on Tates avenue on the Windsor park side.

I'm just around the corner from you then - Donegall Avenue, between Tates Ave and Donegall Road.
Give me a time and place, and I can work around that to provide transport - similarly for any return journey - as I don't know if I'll be there for the entire duration.  My car's a 5-seater with a big boot, so space shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Well, I'd love a lift since it would mean I could bring my laptops, camera gear and even lighting equipment in case it's needed.

I'm at Union Theological College, Botanic Avenue (the big building at the end of University Square), so it would literally be a car journey of a minute, but it's a pain in the ass trying to carry it all.

I can still bring a respectable amount otherwise, but if anyone is swinging past...

WRT transport: I'm in Cameron Street (beside the Empire) so Dan and I can bring a fair few things (see the wiki for a broad list) HOWEVER, if we had transport, we could bring a lot more, & if the driver was willing to swing by Antrim road direction, I can pick up my desktop system :)
All the best

For the sake of expediency and keeping it simple, I can pick up around the Queens area, but I may not head to Antrim Rd, if that's okay.
Next question is time, as we don't want to be spending 2 hours equipping :)

I won't be there until 12ish, but I will be driving. If you don't mind waiting until after the official start I can help with transport.

On a side note, the only place that mentions time is the facebook page. The wiki gives the date and email doesn't give either.

Nice catch. Completely missed that *rushes to fix* on the wiki, the iCal event is accurate, but the time is hidden, and I didn't want to bog the email down with details that were on the facebbok event.

Thingy, Chris, and Dan
I'm not exactly expecting a stampede at 12 so if you need to wait that's fine, if people do show up well have plenty of setup stuff for them to do.

Glenn, I'll be ready to roll from early morning and should only need a few minutes to ship my stuff out of the house.
