Week 699 – nixcon

28th October 2024
"Week 699 – nixcon"

Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

Lift Access

We had more issues with the lift this weekend.

The frequency of these issues might tempt people into trying their own fixes, but Jennie has reiterated that only Stannah should access the lift panel, even with the best intentions, and that wedges should not be used (there’s a key for the door lock in the key safe on the ground floor).

Community Meeting (Future Gazing Part 2)

At our recent Future Gazing event, we talked about reintroducing community meetings.
The first one, or Future Gazing Part 2, is going to be on Sunday 27th October from 2pm – 4pm (the most popular choice in Chris H’s Doodle Poll), to talk about issues relating to running the space, including finances and price rises. It would be great to see as many people as possible, and if you weren’t able to get along to Future Gazing Part 1, you can catch up by reading Adrian’s summary, and take a look here for the complete Google Group thread relating to this.

Sunday 13 October, 2:00pm-5:00pmPlastic Playgroup (DoES Workshop)
In a world with mountains of plastic and molehills of play, let’s get our spades out and shift the balance.Make new things from abandoned plastic with us. Plantpots, purses … pedalos?Shred plastic. Blend it. Meld scraps together with a heat gun. Make sheets. Laser cut it. CNC it. Stitch potato bags together with soldering iron? Make fabrics with a regular iron? What have we got, what can we make? We don’t know – let’s figure it out!
Two rules:
1. No Objectives – this is an aimless and wandering session.
2. Bring Your Own Initiative – this is an active session and we’ll help you get creative.
Every two weeks on a Sunday afternoon, between 2pm and 5pm.Facilitated by Plastic Tactics – follow on social for the latest updates, and to see what we make if you can’t be here in person:
