🎉Let’s party! 🎉

We’ve finalised the SOPN parties! Many thanks to everyone who helped us sort out venues and everyone who is helping to spread the word.

On Tuesday 10th April, come help Democracy Club to open up data on the local elections! (Also known as SOPN-chasing)

Bring your laptop!

• London: Newspeak House — from 1pm

• Manchester: Federation House — from 6.30pm

• Birmingham: Impact Hub — from 6pm

And we’ll be online a lot too, if you can’t make a physical event.

Sprint planning as soon as we’re back — and with only four weeks to go, it’ll probably turn into a bit of a free-for-all. But if there’s work you think we should be focusing on, let us know!

Enjoy the long weekend :)
