Lime Street to London £75. Using @Merseyrail (ticket costs about £4.60 when bought separately) it costs £85, plus you get arrested if you try to use an eTicket. Pathetic isn't it #weeknotespic.twitter.com/66ctoOHMJr

Join us for a special destash sale organised by two former business owners who are opening their collections to the creative community.
This unique “pay as you feel” event features a treasure trove of art supplies, craft materials, books, clothing, and select furniture pieces.
What to Expect:
• Organic knit & woven fabrics
• Selection of haberdashery
• Art and craft supplies
• Books, magazines and patterns
• Vintage and designer clothing
• Office and home furniture
• miscellaneous items
All items in good condition and ready for their next creative home
This isn’t just a sale – it’s an opportunity to give these materials a second life while supporting important causes. While we’re operating on a “pay as you feel” basis, we kindly ask visitors to consider the value of the items and their contribution to our chosen charities.
We will hopefully be joined on the day by some others also sharing the space to sell their stashes too.
More info and details of all those who are participating and which charities they have chosen will be confirmed very soon.
So please check back for any updates over the next few days.
Perfect for:
• Artists and crafters
• Creative enthusiasts
• Small business owners
• DIY lovers
• Conscious shoppers
Every purchase helps support our designated charities while ensuring these quality materials find new homes where they’ll be appreciated and used.

Plastic 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: http://instagram.com/plastacs http://twitter.com/plastacs http://facebook.com/plastictacticsliverpool

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.

Adrian McEwen:Back on designing the audio level shifter board for my bike transmitter.Moved up to @FreeCAD v1.0 and it really feels like a proper release.
The inclusion of the assembly workbench is great (this is an assembly of a step file from @kicad and two bodies); and lots of little improvements in the sketcher make it much smoother to use.
