Happy New Year

2010 was a very busy year for us... so busy that we somehow completely failed to post single new entry to this blog. 

  • In March we enjoyed our first month of breaking even, operating for the first time without additional financial support from our founders, Inuda Community.
  • In May we spotted a new building, perfect for us to move to and sustain the growth of our booming community.
  • In June WiredSussex agreed to take on a 50% share of the Skiff, working with Inuda Community to support the move.
  • In July we moved to our lovely new space at 6 Gloucester Street through a comoving party that got everything moved 195 meters down the road in just a few short hours.
  • At the start of October we hosted BarCamp Brighton 5, welcoming 90 people from around Europe to the space for a weekend-long unconference.
  • At the end of October BuildBrighton hosted a White Night activity introducing over 50 people to electronics hacking.
  • In November we found that we had more than doubled our membership since the move.
  • In December we celebrated our second birthday with a fantastic Skiffmas Party; check out the time-lapse video below.

We're looking forward to seeing what 2011 has in store. We'll probably continue to tweet more than we blog so make sure you are following us: http://twitter.com/theSkiff - alternatively we occasionally send email announcements out on the Friends & Not-Yet-Mates of The Skiff Google Group.

If you've not tried our new space yet please do pop in next time you are passing, we're open 10am to 6pm weekdays.
