The meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) has changed venue to:

Pioneer Cafe, Upper Ground Floor,
Federation House,
2 Federation St,
Manchester,
M4 4BF.

and on OpenStreetMap:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=3D19/53.48592/-2.23967

This is very close to the original venue and on the same street; just by
the Shudehill Interchange (tram and bus station) part Dantzic Street.

Still usual time, 7pm.

A big thanks to The Federation http://www.thefederation.coop/ for
providing us with a venue on short notice.
