[hackerspaces] Starting a hackerspace ( Winchester Va)

[Christopher J. Pilkington]

I cannot stress enough, in a small town/small city, make sure you have
a critical mass before taking on the responsibility of a lease on a
physical space. If it takes a year or more to build interest, it is
what it is. The lack of a hackerspace is better than a failing
hackerspace.

There was even a LUG here but the owner seemed to have died and their list is all but dead.  Any help is appreciated.
