[StaffsLUG General] Update on Workshop meetings

Hi Folks, Just wanted to drop a little update as we've been busy and it'd be helpful to explain what is going on :) Due to a combination of things (that I'm not entirely sure how much I'm allowed to talk about publicly)... it is likely that the CoCoLab (which is where StaffsLUG Workshop events take place) will have to move at some point in the future... how soon?.. we're not certain yet, so we're doing all the preparation we can now to be ready. Function Office is in talks with both Internet Central and also Keele University about finding a space for a new CoCoLab... so we've been spending a lot of time tidying things up, taking notes about what we've built up so far, meeting people, etc... Suffice to say... if you know of anyone with a 900-ish sq foot space where rent would be either incredibly cheap or free... and that someone doesn't mind us using it for non-profits / charities / community groups (like the LUG) to hang out for events, training, telethons, etc... in the evenings/weekends... then let us know! I've attached an inkscape/SVG diagram of the room (make sure your measurements are set as millimetres... so everything shows the correct size)... if people find it useful. But hopefully, fingers crossed... we can work out something :) We'll let you know when we have more... Also with summer being here, I think a summer LUG social is in order in August if people are up for that? Thanks :) -- Steven Maddox Lantizia
