Join us this Sunday from 6pm to celebrate 15 years of DoES Liverpool! A perfect wind-down after MakeFest, but you don’t need to have been there to come along. We’d love to see anyone who’s been involved with DoES Liverpool and Liverpool MakeFest over the years. BYO drinks and food.

Posters printed out and installed in @DoESLiverpool - one in the Events Space and one in the kitchen. This URL points to ways people can help: doesliverpool.com/help/
A1 poster in a clip-frame mounted on a brick wall.  The poster is titled "The Cost of Doing Epic" and shows two stacked bar charts for monthly income and expenditure, averaged over the past six months.  The income one totals £6812 but the expenses one shades it at £7052.  Sad face.

Adrian fired up our 42" poster printer recently, to print the latest version of the @DoESLiverpool "The Cost of Doing Epic" poster. The red bar of expenses is still higher than the green bar of income 💔, although slightly closer than last time it was run.
A close up of a very large printer, as it prints an A1 poster.  The poster has a headline reading "The Cost of Doing Epic" and green and red bars of a graph showing income and expenditure are just visible edging their way out of the printer.

Spoiler alert, but the red expenditure bar is bigger than the green income bar...
