On 28/29 January, Drupal Yorkshire will run a local sprint in Sheffield, as part of the Global Sprint Weekend.
Please sign up on this Meetup event so we have some idea of numbers. (A g.d.o event also exists to help spread the word, but don't sign up there!)
This wiki page will be a place to confirm all details about the event.
Venue
Union St co-working space, S1 2JP: less than five minutes' walk from Sheffield train station.
Directions on Google map: from the station, go up through the fountains; cross at the lights; go up the pedestrianized street past the Howard and Sheffield Hallam buildings; at the top, turn left and walk past the Sainsbury's and casino on your right; cross at the far corner of the casino, and walk up past the Cheesegrater car park to Union St.
Someone will need to let you in. Ring J-P on +44 7851 913123.

Sponsors & wanted!
We need the following (starting with the most essential):
- Projector (@danharper / @rivimey might be sorting this?)
- Venue sponsorship: the venue will have an honesty jar for the day, but as a cooperative, Union Street is really helped by any donations, especially any spare £20 notes your company might also be able to put into the jar....
- Sponsor for early-morning coffees and/or pastries, on either day: the venue *can* run a cafe downstairs for the morning, but it's a pop-up/volunteer affair so we'd need to order in advance.
- Sponsor for lunches: there are many options for lunch nearby (see below) but it would be nice if a company were willing to sponsor maybe half a dozen to a dozen sandwich lunches.
... anything else, please add. We should have tea and unexciting coffee during the day: if we can get sponsors for breakfast coffees, it will be "proper", though.
To discuss
What kind of lunch will work? Nearby options: bagels, massive (if not fancy) sandwiches, falafel wraps, burritos (a bit expensive) and lots more, further afield.
Where do we sign up? Meetup? Will/should there be a d.o event?
