Trip to Maker Faier 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???

Hire a people carrier - Seven seater from: [1] is £126 for fri-sun obviously plus petrol

Hire a mini bus - 17 seater minibus from: [2] 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: [3]

Currently the people who have said yes for accommodation are: me(Matt Little), Rep-rap Matt, Dominic, James, Michael(?),David(?)

Activities Hack-based fun with some non-virtual time in the local pubspace.
