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!

Coming Up in the Next Week
| Thursday 24 May, 6:30pm-9:00pm | Maker Night |
The Big Move
Did you hear, we’ve moved to The Tapestry, just off London Road. We’re open for business, but while we’re settling in we’re including a brief update on how things are going each week.
Progress on the last bits and pieces has slowed a bit now, with people away and busy on Light Night projects. We’ve got sanitary bins in the toilets now and more of the doors have been painted. We’re also nearer to getting the floors carpeted in the Events Room and Room 29.
If you want to help out, check the DoES Move The Tapestry and DoES Move – Settling In labels on the Somebody Should issue list, or get in touch.
