Meeting Weds 8th August

We'll be meeting next Wednesday 8th August from 6 - 7:30pm at MadLab (please note new location, details below).

Whether you've been coming to the group for years or have never been, we're here to give you a warm welcome and a friendly ear. Free tea, coffee and biscuits for all.

MadLab has moved to a new venue, inside a centre called ‘PLANT NOMA’, on Dantzic Street, Manchester, M60 0AE.

It’s located on the opposite side of Dantzic Street from the CIS Tower – 2 minutes walk from Shudehill Metrolink and 5 minutes from Victoria Station.

The building itself is on Dantzic St, but entrance is actually on Mayes St which is a pedestrianised street just off Dantzic (see photo of entrance below).
