Christmas meet up this THu 13 Dec *VENUE CHANGE*

It's our annual Christmas group meet up this Thursday 13th December from 6:00 - 7:30pm.

We will be meeting at Ziferblat Cafe on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter area of the city centre. We will cover costs for anyone who attends. Ziferblat Cafe is opposite the previous MadLab venue, for those who remember it - directions here https://www.ziferblat.co.uk/edge-street/ ...entry is at street level, just press the buzzer to gain access then use stairs or the lift to get up to the cafe.

We can no longer use MadLab as the space they were renting is run by another another organisation - PLANT - which itself is relocating. 

January's pottery workshop will go ahead at usual but will be at PLANT's new venue. Update to follow in the new year.
