We have now moved in to the central venue, which is the old J. B. Spray & Co. factory on Russell Street, Radford.

Built in 1870, the historic lace mill - a grade 2 listed building - has sat empty for years. While it's not exactly luxurious, it offers a good amount of space for workshops and cooking, plenty of smaller rooms that can be used for sleeping in, and a breathtaking aerial view of the city.

People are now welcome to come down and help out with preparations for the week - there's a fair bit of tidying and construction of facilities to be done over the next few days, so the more the merrier.

Sleeping areas are surprisingly comfy - there are numerous mattresses and smaller rooms available, so anyone staying over (which is encouraged) should be able to get a decent night's kip!

The final planning meeting will be at 8pm at the factory (not at the Sumac) tonight.

See you there!

While there's a lot of work to be done, the Spray is an amazing space with a huge amount of potential.

Don't be freaked out by the bad paintings

I'm afraid that particular piece of wall art has been covered over - too many of us just couldn't stand it! There's a lot of bizarrely religious / somewhat sanctimonious paintings in the place, and in all honestly, they are a bit freaky.)

Please don't go thinking that the Spring Into Action people are some kind of religious nutjobs... we're not!

If you ignore the weird paintings, it's a lovely building! (Personally, I'm hoping that someone arty can do better and paint something homely rather than preachy during the course of the week!)
