Hi guys,

Just to let you know, we're starting a hackspace in Stoke-on-Trent, home to Overclockers UK.

Potteries Hackspace is a volunteer community organisation where like minded people can meet up, tinker around with electronics, work on a project or just hangout.

No matter who you are, or what age you are, get out of your shed, garage or back room and join us at the hackspace to share in our pool of skills, knowledge and tools.

We want: hackers, makers, programmers, engineers, scientists, artists, hobbyists, photographers, designers, musicians, gamers, videographers, bloggers, builders or enthusiasts.

Do you want 'The Potteries' to be more than just pottery? Then join us!


PS. We'll be at Stoke Comic Con, see you there!

Thanks.
 
FYI OcUK are not based in Stoke-on-Trent.

"Potteries Hackspace is a membership organisation (SIC 94990) and as such is funded in most part by membership subscriptions", Hackspaces don't exist without subscriptions.

I've been a member before some years ago, I've been lurking for quite some time though. I'll be around, I'm not hard to find.

TBH I was not expecting a reply, there's a lot of people who create 1 post that says "buy my **** "

hopefully I will indeed see you around and will be proved wrong :p

Organisations who force membership fees on their members? :confused:

I am in a cycling club and a snowsports club and in the past have been in a rowing club, kayaking club and martial arts club. All of them had membership fees. I would happily pay to join a hackerspace if there was one nearby.

How do you expect clubs to exist with no money?

You did say Stoke-on-Trent in the OP :confused:

Why is it called Potteries Hackspace when it isn't in The Potteries?

Holey banana skins Batman, it's a conspiracy!

Or... they were both setup in the Potteries (Stoke-on-Trent) but are currently homed in Newcastle-under-Lyme, which is part of "The Potteries Built-up Area".

Edit: I've lived in the area for my whole life, have you ever tried to explain where Newcastle-under-Lyme is?!? ;)

A lot of Necastle-under-Lyme residents would be most upset if you told them they were part of The Potteries.
 
Was expecting an ad, no replies from OP, and a lock. Was pleasantly surprised. I like you OP. :p
 
Ok we need to put this one to rest. Newcastle-Under-Lyme is not in Stoke-On-Trent or Potteries.

It is not part of a 'potteries built up area'.

I demand OP and his organisation change the name to Newcastle-under-Lyme Hackspace or I will be writing a strongly worded letter to the evening sentinel.
