Quanta Workshop and AGM 2013

Quanta invite members and non-members alike to our workshop on Saturday 13th 
April (11am to 4pm) and Sunday 14th April (from 10am).

For members, the AGM will be held at 2pm on Sunday. The venue is The 
Endeavour, 3rd Davyhulme (Lostock) Sout Headquarters, Conway Road, off Lostock 
Road, Davyhulme, Manchester, M41 0TF - just off Junction 9 of the M60 motorway. 

Follow B5158 Lostock Road (towards Urmston). Pass the George H Carnall sports 
centre on the RHS and take the next turn to the right, Conway Road. The venue 
is at the bottom of this road, on the right hand side.

N.B. Sat-nav users, if you use postcode M41 0TF, it may take you further west 
along Conway Road (to the centre of the postcode area). Be aware that the venue 
is on the eastern end of Conway Road, along a small cul-de-sac, just off the 
corner, as shown on the Google map link above.

Hope to see you all there!

Thanks Dilwyn,

We hadn't noticed that whoever added the Workshop/AGM details to the 
QUANTA Web Site hadn't included the directions to get to the venue. 
However, I have asked Keith for a get together tomorrow in order to 
correct this.


From your link to Google maps, It gives an address of 70, Conway Road 
which has the Post Code M41 0TE - which might be a bit closer to the 
Scout HQ than M41 0TF. (although, like many other Scout Headquarters, 
they generally do not have a specific postal address - or Post Code - so 
choosing the nearest house address is frequently the only way of 
programming a SatNav.)


The Street View from Google is very explicit.

Thanks.

John Gilpin.

[Ql-Users] Quanta workshop and AGM

2012-02-04 Thread Dilwyn Jones
Quanta's 2012 Workshop and AGM will be held on 24-25th March 2012 at the 3rd 
Davyhulme Scout Headquarters, The Endeavour, Conway Road (off  Lostock 
Road), Davyhulme, Manchester M41 0TF. The venue is very easy to find - come 
off the M60 motorway at Junction 9 and take the West exit, signposted 
'B5158', 'Urmston' and 'Davyhulme'.  Take the second right turning off this 
road (Lostock Road) onto Conway Road. The venue is down this lane on the 
right, near the first corner of the lane. For a map, use one of the mapping 
services such as Google Maps, Bing maps or Streetmap to look for postcode 
M41 0TF.


All are welcome to this meeting, members and non-members alike. Whether you 
are a QL enthusiast or just curious about Sinclair's little multi-tasking 
black box. Admission is free. Tables will be available for those who would 
like to bring along their computer.


Meet the experts! Come along and ask questions and discuss your systems with 
traders and committee members. So far, we expect RWAP Software and Memory 
Lane Computing to be there, so if you'd like to see the Ser-Usb device for 
the QL, or discuss Peter Graf's MDV slot SD card system, come along and meet 
Adrian Ives of Memory Lane Computing, for example. George Gwilt has also 
said he hopes to be there to give a talk about some of his work on QL 
software.


For those coming from a little further, please contact Quanta's Secretary or 
Chairman for help with finding place to stay in the area or for public 
transport details. For those coming from far enough to fly in, Manchester 
airport is just a fairly short distance away.

I saw the Z88 mentioned there!
I am giving Vic Gerhardi (Rakwell) a lift to the show, so the Z88 will 
certainly have representation there on the day.
