Last month, a group of us met at UnLtd to talk about alternative third
spaces. This Wednesday we're holding a follow-up meeting at the Hub,
Islington.

Alternative third spaces are facilities which are neither office nor
cafe nor workshop, but have elements of all three and more. This
includes co-working spaces, hack labs, arts spaces, social centres,
community cafes and similar uses of space. There is a lot of interest
and activity around these in London at the moment - and the potential
for them to play a significant role in the response to the social
consequences of the recession.

This meetup is for people interested in starting such projects, or who
are already involved with them, to discuss ideas, funding models and
legal structures, and to learn from the success of ventures like the
Hub. We hope a network of people involved in alternative third spaces
will emerge.

The meeting will take place from 6.30 till 8.00pm, Wednesday 8th April
at The Hub Islington, 5 Torrens Street, London EC1V 1NQ:

I'm excited about continuing our conversation. Do pass on the
invitation to anyone you think should be part of it.

Best wishes,
Dougald
