AT LAST WE NOW HAVE A UNIT !!!!

Postby Luke » Mon Feb 14, 2011 6:25 pm

At last we have a unit we can use for the project 8) 8)

it's in Sheffield and it belongs to Tony (midniteclassix on here) there is loads of space (and i mean loads :shock: ) for us to park up for the weekend as it's on an industrial estate :D

The only down side is there is no electricity in the unit - but we should be able to sort out a hire generator without much trouble :D

Tony runs JD's Diner on the industrial estate and he'll open up for us over the weekend 8)
The diner is a new buisness venture for Tony so it will be good if we all support him :D

The address is

JD's Diner
Yarra park industrial estate
Ecclesfield
S35 9YR

so if you are in the area and fancy a bite to eat call in and say hi to Tony :D
