Transport to Wortley Hall

I might cycle to Wortley Hall if I'm feeling energetic, but it is a long uphill slog from Sheffield City Centre on a busy and unpleasant road to cycle on...

If I'm not cycling I'd be happy to meet people at Sheffield Train / Bus station (the Megabus is the cheapest way to get here) on the evening of 14th November and show you the way to the bus stop and from the bus stop at Wortley to the Hall.

There is parking at Wortley Hall, some people might want to use this thread to sort out lift shares?

We'll be renting a bus from London because there's a lot of us, hope the uphill slog is ok :)

HI Kayleigh, I sense you're kind of on the organising aspect of things - is there a case for getting a big bus from London, with e.g. the excellent http://www.empresscoaches.co.uk/? Do you know where the discussion has gone on bursary tickets for women (in which case I can get another Calvertista)? Have the dates/timings been confirmed? Sorry to be asking you but can't get a sense from the other threads.

Hey Sion

Indeed I am, I need to get a better idea of numbers before I book anything, though. Initially I imagined a minibus with one of our lot as a driver, but my constant need to save money/the environment mean that empress coaches might just fit the bill.
If we do end up travelling together, would you be able to meet us at Outlandish HQ and we could all set off? We're probably furthest north in London.

As for the bursary tickets, I believe the conversation was based on women who work in tech and not yet working for a co-ops...not sure, have a look/raise anything here: https://www.loomio.org/d/tCRgEzme/women-in-the-digital-co-op-sector

Hi

Is anyone heading to Wortley Hall from Sheffield (or thereabouts) with space in a car? A ride up in the afternoon would be great.

The forecast is currently dry for Monday but I'm not sure if I really fancy the bike ride in the dark (the main road is busy and quite fast), I understand that the evening meal on Monday is at 7pm ish so I'm going to aim for the 18:30 from Sheffield Interchange (the bus station, near the train station) which should arrive in Wortley at 19:08, I'm mentioning this in case anyone else is going to be traveling at this time.

On Thursday morning there is a 07:23, a 09:43 and then the next one is 11:43.

Here is a map showing Sheffield Train Station and the bus stop for the number 29 to Wortley (see top of thread for a link to the timetable), basically walk out of the station, bear right, cross the road at the pelican crossing, walk under the covered walkway ahead of you and then cross the zebra crossing to the bus station and it is on your right, 2 minute walk and a 30 minute bus ride.

Tanc and I will be driving to Wortley by car early afternoon on Monday so I reckon we could take a couple of people if needed

:D this is brilliant, thank you!

Kayleigh, can Giselle and I get the bus up but get a train straight back to Wales after?

Hi all, we have two car seats if anyone going London - Megazord 15th afternoon. Email: sb@blake.house

I hadn't realised that things were starting at 2:30pm on Monday, the bus from Sheffield to aim for is the 13:01 which is due to arrive at 13:42.

As in, you'll get there earlier? No probs.

I hadn't realised things were starting in the afternoon either. We're due in to Sheffield just before 5pm on Monday so should hopefully be at the hall in time for the evening meal.

What is the latest on the running order? (sorry, I've been away)

The Seeds for Change proposed agenda has been sent out by email as a PDF, I expect there are others here who haven't seen it, is there a reason not to post it to Loomio?

Hey Chris

I sent it to everyone via email that has confirmed but feel free to post on this- I'm not on my laptop at the mo so can't do it.
Thanks
