			==== Communications ====

			You can call our village on 5501. If you want to call a villager directly then our numbers can be found on the [https://guru3.eventphone.de/event.wasm/phonebook?q=Northern+Quarter&order=extension Eventphone telephone directory]. We will also have a fax line (number to come soon).

			Planning has been done on the [https://app.element.io/#/room/#makerspace-ncl-emf:matrix.org Matrix "Maker Space EMF Camp" Room]. If you are part of the village and don't have access then please ask. We will continue to use this thought the event for village stuff. Those with radio licences will also be using DMR radio through the GB7NQ repeater (details below).
