Meeting this Weds 13th June - at Ziferblat cafe

We'll be meeting this Wednesday 13th June, 6 - 7:30pm. PLEASE NOTE: meeting will take place at Ziferblat cafe, 1st Floor, 23 Edge Street, Manchester M4 1HW. Ziferblat is directly opposite where our meetings have taken place until last month at MadLab on Edge Street. 

All are welcome - teas and coffees are on us :)

All being well we will be back at MadLab from next month (in their new building). They are having some soundproofing work done at the new building - there is a choir in on the same evening as us so it could be a bit noisy otherwise!

AGM postponed: Because we're meeting in the Ziferblat cafe this month our AGM will be postponed until our 11th July meeting.
