Hi Everyone,
I mentioned this to some of those who were at the meeting last night, I'm
helping out with an event called Liverpool MakeFest at the end of the month -
Saturday June 30th in Liverpool Central Library.
It's a free event running all day and it's open to all ages. We have a lot of
families attending the activities and workshops. It's everything from high tech
stuff like building robots, to textiles, arts and crafts. There's usually about
2000 people coming in and out throughout the day so it's big.
The Makers run their own stalls and bring people with them but we do need some
volunteers to help set up on the Friday night and on the day. Just giving
directions to makers or attendees, supervising unloading, and generally making
sure people are ok.
Friday 29th June setup is 6pm onwards. It usually doesn't take too long and
even if you can only make it for half an hour that's very much appreciated.
Saturday 30th June the event runs 9am to 5pm. Again, even if you can only do an
hour or something it's helpful so let me know.
For my part I'll make sure all volunteers are fed and looked after. Some of you
have been crew for OggCamp events I've run before and I'm pleased to say it
will be nowhere near that intense. We are keen to make sure anyone who
volunteers still has plenty of time to see all the things they want and enjoy
the event, Many hands make light work and all that :)
If you want to know more the event website is here - http://lpoolmakefest.org
It's a lot of fun and a great event to be involved in, so if anyone is up for
joining the team please let me know!
Many thanks,
Dan
