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!
DoES DoES Christmas!
DoES DoES Christmas, organised by Kirsty, is this Wednesday, 14th December, at the Fashion Hub, just downstairs from DoES Liverpool. Expect a quiz, standup, live music, Karaoke and more, plus chip butties from Guac’n’Roll. You can still get your ticket via Eventbrite, or tell Kirsty or Jackie that you’re coming (you can just turn up on the night too, but you might miss out on the chips …).
All members of the DoES community and friends welcome!
Things of Note
- MCQN Ltd: Julie has done a great job of decorating DoES Liverpool for Christmas.We’ve lent a #MyBabysGotLED board and some strings of LEDs for the tree. Of course it’s hooked up to #cheerlights so you can change the colour with a tweet!#weeknotes #ibal223 pic.twitter.com/Mb8sTCa3kc
