Things we asked about:
Projectors- due to light projectors might be an issue
Size - it is smaller than expected and the space is share with a group of architects (see pictures) so as for sound we will need headphones due to shared space
It's nice there is potential and it's great they have a seating area where we can show our old works and also a single TV which can be moved around
there are 2 tables that can be used
plug wise there aren't a lot but they do have extension leads (would advise to bring own)
there is a storage area but she said that is pretty much full so may be unusable
security - there is always someone there and entry is buzz in only
its was pretty much a no to the booths unfortunately due to space and they didn't want us building anything there. I didn't ask about blacking out the windows with card or fabric as it didn't come to mind at the time.
Pros:
It's a good location, fair price, shared so extra bit of traffic coming through
Cons:
The size of the space was smaller than expected and lighting could be an issue as the venue has a lot of light seeping through.
Comments from the group about this place, their were some who were happy with the venue, but there

It sound ok but the projectors will be an issues if we can't black out windows and have our own spaces defined better could cause problem as well.

i think once we know who's going where I'll be simple enough, there's enough room for a table each and the wall space to the side of behind you
Amethyst Kin
that's not so bad i guess i will need my armature and mac on display.

How busy is it, is it likely to go before we meet next week did you get to ask how often it get booked, even though they will probably give you the hard sell if you did, be nice to get an idea if we can think it over.
Michael Kenneth Treadway
well they said they have interest in may as well so if we want it we have to snap it up quickly, its in an area with other exhibition halls
-
Michael Kenneth Treadway
it didn't seem too busy during the day, we where there at about 11:30 / 12 but i can see it being much busier in the afternoon/evening
-
Michael Kenneth Treadway
well we've gotten photos which bobbi has on her phone, and there are movible panels so we can display more of our work. we will need to bring a few extra screens and tables if we want this place though
i personally think its perhaps one of the best one we're gonna get
Amethyst Kin
yeah there can't be many that have that in central London for that price
Bobbi Towlson
We can email them with any further questions and apparently it's only 20% deposit to secure the date as well

Is it easy to get to for me because of my back and some of the others? And i need yo look at the projector issue which few others do too i think i may need 2 tables and a board and either the wall or a white board lol
Michael Kenneth Treadway
well the boards one the wall are white anyway
and i think if we place tables in a 'L' shape we'll fit the amount needed in

also, from liverpool street its one bus to dock head and a little walk
that what the girl said to me
-
Bobbi Towlson
Yeah the walk isn't far like 5 minutes max from the bus stop if that

Philip Hibbert
Seen as it's far for u guys what's insurance on the equipment sayin?
Catherine Mcgurk
I think we all need to explain on Friday what we are doing and what we need and see who can use what lol
-
-
Amethyst Kin
Well between then may be having our animations on loop and also having them on our laptops and having our names at the beginning introducing each piece that wouldn't be so bad.
-
Michael Kenneth Treadway
i think we should do that kini
also theres enough plugs to go around but i would suggest extension cords just in case
Wayne Thomas Doust
Well i still don't know for definite i have a few ideas but nothing definate
-
Amethyst Kin
what about sound and how that will effect one another
Michael Kenneth Treadway
that may be an issue, how ever i dont see an issue with having multiple headphones plugged in to machines, it could be more immersive that way
Amethyst Kin
So if we have the big screens showing our work on loop and individually have headphones with each laptop that could work i would be up for that.

I believe there is so much more with have to consider I don't wanna buy for a whole week when we don't need it for that long I haven't got money for that
We all need to sit down next week and discuss this because I'm not convinced
Michael Kenneth Treadway
its 650 for the week... plus we can set up one day, exhibit the 2 days after and take down on the 4th
Catherine Mcgurk
I think theres gonna be a big issue with projectors and also do we have to exhibit our experimental too?
-
Catherine Mcgurk
Ohh ok right ya gotta think use said its smaller than what you thought you need to check 1. There may be enough space for exhibits but is there enough space for food and drink? And people lol
-
Tom Roy Gill
And then we waste money on one other day ? And to be honest we don't need to spend one day setting up and the place is being shared so we can really leave it up... we can set it up on the day and then the second day pack away
Catherine Mcgurk
For the second day my family wont travel that far because of my brothers so im left all alone sad times ha ha
-
-
Catherine Mcgurk
I dunno it sounds good but i got a gut feeling there wont be loads of room
-
-
Tom Roy Gill
I agree my feeling is telling me because it looked fancy and sounded cheap it went to you lots heads and thought yeah this looks good but you got to remember then it needs to properly sorted with space and stuff but this is something we all need to discuss in person
Catherine Mcgurk
We need to secure a venue soon though which means everyone needs to be prepared to give money for a deposit and get a receipt
Michael Kenneth Treadway
well that why i thought this place would be good, its nice enough, pirce is easy enough for all of us to afford, i liked the idea of setting up on a serate day as its less of a rush and less stressful
but we need to agree with this completely as a group
