Open day 2011
On Sunday 29th May 2011 we held the first Big Open Day Event at Nottingham Hackspace 2.0. It was a big success, attracting lots of visitors and new members. Guests were invited to attend from other Hackspaces and the event was widely advertised locally & nationally. It was a celebration of the new Hackspace and a publicity/recruitment opportunity.
