Attendees
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) in a canvas tent if possible. There is obviously a cost to this.
If you are interested in joining the village for 2022, please fill in the table below. There is the opportunity for shared transport and to help pay the cost for the village (costs tbc).
We are also trying for 2022 a "pay it forward" ticket pledge drive - so there may be an opportunity to come on a free ticket that members of the Hackspace pledge towards - the trustees will organise the raffle if we get a ticket secured. See the
Food is available on the site not necessitating a shared meal/BBQ stuff for this year. Snackspace will be run however for snacks!
We are also doing a EMF 2022 Village Pledge to help fund the marquee, tables, chairs and core things for EMF.

Village Contents
List of things people are bringing to display/have used in the tent. Tent size is aiming for 6x9 meters with tables and chairs inside.
Village size estimate for the application; 6x9m for big tent (54m2). 3x3m for fire pit etc. (9m2) 3x5m for van or storage space (15m2). 3x3m per tent on average and 20 or so tents (9m2 x 20 = 180m2). 54 + 9 + 15 + 180 = 258m2
| Item | Person | Description |
|---|---|---|
Nottinghack Village Volunteers
We'll probably do a rough rota for the Nottinghack Village and snackspace so it is hopefully manned most of the daytime to show off projects and assist with Snackspace.
Tickets will be available for volunteers who offer 4 hours of time per day for helping in the tent - speak to Andrew for details.
We'd not leave anyone running a workshop alone if at all possible, and if they are we'd otherwise close the tent.

What to Bring
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.
| Item | Reason |
|---|---|
| Decent quality long extension lead | If you want power to your tent from the centralised power. 20M reel would be recommended to be sure. |
| 4-way extension lead or similar | Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices |
| Money | Money can buy food and/or beverages |
| Teacup | Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out |
| Medication | Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site. |
| Camping Chairs | Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent. |
| Long Ethernet cable | If you want ethernet in your tent |
| Micro USB cables | The EMF badge charges via a micro USB cable and you'll probably want a spare for your phone/kindle/tablet etc. |
| Torch | It gets dark at night |
| Rubber Mallet | To help put up your own tent and others |
| Drinks | There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself. |
| Snacks | To keep your going between meals |
| Toiletries | Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc. |
| Raincoat and Wellies | It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field |
| Sun Cream | There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors |
| Bug Spray | It's near water and some people have tasty blood |
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies | It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors |
| Painkillers | E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary. |

Previous EMF Projects
- Wunderkammer in 2018 setup by Kate in our small village
- BarBot - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Mouse has agreed this can be run in 2020 if it's not him doing it (Andrew looking into this)
- Fire Pong - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.
