Open day 2011

On the Sunday 29th May 2011 we will officially open Nottingham Hackspace 2.0 at the Big Open Day Event this will happen, ready or not!

Guests will be invited to attend from other Hackspaces & the event will be as widely advertised locally & nationally as possible. This should be both a celebration of the new Hackspace & a publicity/recruitment opportunity.

Summary

The day will be split into two parts.

The 1st Part: Members, friends and guest of Nottingham Hackspace will bring projects/items of interest etc to show to the general public. There will be a demos, presentations, tours etc of the Hackspace. Ideally we will have some local interest from councillors, local press etc. The 2nd Part The Hackspace Warming Party will include eating drinking & making merry. Probably with a BBQ & possibly The Art Organisation will provide a licensed bar (if not we'll do BYO booze or tea or whatever).
