Hi I dropped in to centre peace in Paignton this morning http://www.centrepeace.org.uk/ to see how they were getting on, and asked about having meetings there. 1. They will ahve meeting spaces and a cafe area open soon 2. there may be a room + access to projector too 3. As we are an open group if we were to do workshops or just demos but include the community in these they are happy toi waiver the fee, i said we will be buying drinks anyway at the cafe. 4. No need for insurance ( I know Tom Brough raises concerns about this) as they suggested that they can sort their own insurance out so it covers people using the facilities. 5. Meeting room is upstairs, but if we meet downstairs then there is wheelchair access Sounds to me like a good opportunity, drinks etc will be cheaper than the shoreline, it ticks other boxes too, Main issue is parking which I can't do anything about, but crossways car park is currently £3 all day on a Saturday. It isn't quite ready yet, the shop bit is open by the weekend, the cafe soon after that, I am going to try and push for kids ruby and scratch to be installed on any computers, terry who is in charge of the place said she knows people who use Linux, so she has heard of it (big plus) so as the area is classed as deprived area (see website), then any activities should help the community in some way, I will keep in touch and maybe we can meet there July, and take it from there, it would be nice to get some basic talks going on what ever people want to learn about (see exeter lug website page on this as there are loads of topics listed) Will keep people updated.
