Accommodation

There will be two main sleeping rooms. You will need to bring a sleeping bag or cover and a sleeping mat. Be aware that the venue may be fairly cold, so warm clothing and sleeping bags are advisable. We will be doing our best to keep everyone comfortable but are restricted by the building .

Access and Inclusion: Please get in touch by one of the above means if you have additional access of inclusion needs. We are able to accommodate a few people in beds at Gung Ho HC if they are necessary for medical reasons for families with children. You must let us know as soon as possible if you need one of these rooms. We are a small house and will not have rooms for people who do not give us any warning.

The venue will be wheelchair accessible and we will do our best to accommodate needs. We have several rooms for simultaneous use to keep noise bleeding between meetings to a minimum. We will have a quiet sleeping room in addition to the main sleeping room.

Food: We will be serving food in the venue, for around ￡10(cost to be confirmed) for the weekend. All of the food will be vegan. If you have any additional dietary requirements please contact us with plenty of notice so we can accommodate you.

Children: There will be a supervised kids' space from Friday evening. Please contact us to let us know if you will be bringing children who you will need supervising so we can plan this facility effectively.

How to get there:

Public Transport
Cycling and walking:

The venue is about two miles from Birmingham New Street station. It is off the national cycle route five. Follow the route out of the city centre until you see a small park on your right after a mile or so. You will come to a crossroads with a basketball/five a-side court on your right. Turn left (Edward Road) and go up the hill until you reach a T-junction. This is Moseley Road. The Old Print Works are ahead of you and slightly to the left.

Train and bus:

You will need to take a train to central Birmingham, either New Street or Moor Street station. The Old Print Works is on the number 50 bus route from Moor Street. Buses in Birmingham cost ￡1.90 for a single and you have to pay in exact change. The number 50 is supposed to run every 5-10 minutes. Get off opposite the Moseley Baths.

Coach:

You'll get into Digbeth coach station. The Number 50 bus goes from Rea Street, which runs alongside the station.

Car:

Moseley Road isn't far off the ring road (the A4540). Get to Haden Circus on the ring road and go South onto Haden Road. This changes to Moseley Road. About half a mile after leaving the roundabout you're at the venue.

Don't forget that on the Radical Routes website there is a forum for those who want to share lifts.
