Just got this announcement:-
We're delighted to confirm we've secured sponsorship to run another Faire to coincide with Newcastle Science Fest next March. The dates have been confirmed for the weekend of 13th and 14th March which will coincide with the opening weekend of the ten day Science Festival.
If you know of other Makers that were not involved in this year's Faire but who may want to submit a proposal, please point them to the sign-up page here http://oreillymedia.co.uk:2474/makersinitialform.asp
I'll definitely try and make it again. Thoroughly enjoyed it last year.
Looks like I'll be spending two weekends running in Newcastle as there is a BarCamp event the very next weekend. I should probably get a move on and finish the project I'm working on.
TonyD: That would be good. Last year it seemed as though every other stall was involved in Arduino in some way. It would be good to add to the mix.
Just got an email from the organisers to say they have extended the deadline for submitting proposals from potential exhibitors until the 18th December.
So get your skates on if you want to show something.
shed some light about the effectiveness of having a booth there
Not sure what you mean about effectiveness, most people are showing stuff not selling it. Last year we had about 5,000 people thought the door in two days. It was good fun.
I wouldn't want to live in newcastle otherwise
It's a good place to live, I spent my under graduate years in that city, it holds some good memories.
