Hi

One of my actions from the community meeting was to arrange an epic trip to the North West Computer Museum and Leigh Hackspace, both based in Leigh Spinners Mill (this is a really interesting destination in itself, they still make astroturf there, but it also hosts a whole range of businesses, including artists' studios and galleries, furniture makers, record shop, cinema, etc.).

I've been in touch with Paul from Leigh Hackspace and the best time to visit them would be from 12:00 - 17:00 on a Saturday. Saturday opening for the Computer Museum is from 10:00 - 16:00 and Heritage public visitor tours of the mill are from 10:00 - 14:00 (definitely worth it to see the original steam engines which have been renovated).

I've set up a Doodle Poll here. Can everyone who's interested fill in the dates they'll be available.  We can work out the details later - it will be good if we get some people with cars as it isn't a great place to get to be public transport.

Thanks

Jackie

Hi

The favoured days for doing this are Saturday 15th March and Saturday 22nd March (6 votes each).  If anyone else is interested please get in touch. Maybe we can discuss transport etc. while people are in for the community meeting on Sunday.

I'd love to go and looked at Doodle Poll. Is it not 22nd and 29th March on 6 each? 
7 now for 29th which is my preference as can't do 22nd.

It was 15th and 22nd - I guess someone who'd already voted changed their preferences. I'll keep the poll open until Sunday for further changes or additions!

So Saturday 29th March is the winner with 7 people currently wanting to go. Does anyone have a people carrier?

Dear all,
I have no people carrier, just an ordinary car (will take three passengers). In principle I could do the 29th but I will not come to Liverpool to pick people up. I can pick people up from a Wirral line station on the Chester/Ellesmere Port line. What do you think?

I drive a 7 seater so could take 6, so with Paul we'd have it covered with a few spare seats?

Sounds great. So it's Saturday 29th March (despite what I said in weeknotes) and looks like we've got transport sorted. Anyone else thinking of coming?

Hi all,

Just wondering what the transport arrangements are. Are we to make our own way there, or will there be transport arranged from DoES?

Can you let me know what time to arrive at the office?

Thanks,

Craig

Hi,

I just had a chat with Jackie.

I'll leave from DoES, roughly 9am, on the Sat 29th March.  I've got 2 seats left (3 at a squeeze) in my 7 seater.

Can everyone who is going please reply indicating if they are leaving from DoES or from the Wirral so we can confirm if we have enough cars/seats.

Thanks Gary.

Hi, 

I would love a space in someone's car please. 
Ideally from the Wirral. Although I'm near to Birkenhead Park station so I can get to DoES to leave from there if easier.

Please let me know.

Much appreciated,
Take care,
Sanna xxx
