Hi there, I'm not aware of anything happening in Surrey but if you're able to pop into London for Tuttle on a Friday morning, it may be that you might find some potential collaborators in setting your own space up. We're at the ICA every Friday morning from 10am - http://tuttleclub.wordpress.com/

Thanks for that post Alex, we're at that stage ourselves now. We have an intern for a couple of months this summer who's taking some of the admin too and I don't think we'll be able to go back to doing everything so your experience is good to have as reference for our own decisions. Patrick

We used to have something as flexible as Business Playce, but we found out the 'let us know as soon as possible' bit led to people telling us on the first of the month they wanted to leave (like that day), so we have the 30 day membership agreement with 30 days notice now. T On Thu, Aug 6, 2009
