Trip to Maker Faire Newcastle 11th to 13th March
This will be a road trip (anyone got a car?) to the UK Maker Faire in Newcastle. The event is on Saturday and Sunday 12/13th but with a UK Hackspace folk meet up on the evening of Friday 11th.

Travel
The train takes 3.5hrs and cheapest tickets I can find start at £77.80 (!!) per person.
The other options are:
Take a couple of cars - Any offers??? [john c] I can take my car and 2-3 others
Hire a people carrier - Seven seater from: http://www.thrifty.co.uk/ is £126 for fri-sun obviously plus petrol
Hire a mini bus - 17 seater minibus from: http://www.thrifty.co.uk/ is £288, any ideas of cheap minibus?...
Accommodation
I have booked a 6 bed room in a hostel for the nights of 11/12th at a cost of £240 for both nights. If we can get 6 people in then it will be £20 per person per night, otherwise it will be a bit more.
Hostel details here: http://www.albatrossnewcastle.co.uk/
Currently the people who have said yes for accommodation are: me(Matt Little), Rep-rap Matt, Dominic, James, Michael(?),David(?)
[john c] I have booked a hotel (using points) Jurys Inn
Activities
Hack-based fun with some non-virtual time in the local pubspace.
Film night
Lets watch maker and hack films for an evening. This will push us to get the cinema seats sorted out and the projector screen and chill out zone a bit nice.
