A huge thank you to the 30+ people that joined us on Saturday for the first GFN Winchester hack to help bring the vision of Connecting Winchester to life. Additional thanks to our sponsors @MoonRoast and @AlfredsBrewer for fuelling us, and @thursdaystudio for hosting us!

It's the end of our first ever Winchester Good For Nothing hack day! It's been a great and very enjoyable day - so much hard work and enthusiasm for this bold new vision for the city. Watch this space for next steps and more on the work and outputs from the day #goodfornothing

What do you think of Win Win Win for a campaign name? #winningwinchester

What's the plan for the Bushfield Camp in Winchester? It's triggered a hot debate here at the #goodfornothing #hackday

Wincubator!!! Why not bring young people and local business professionals together in a dedicated workspace for new venture incubation

How about replacing a parking spot with bike storage on a street in Winchester? Piloting cargo bike use with a new business model? #cargobiketrial

What about running an electric shuttle for 6 passengers on key routes around Winchester for a day? Will's Wheels!

What about piloting micro-festivals as community learning events in a specific area of Winchester? Hydefest anyone?!

A la Playing Out - we want to get play streets happening across the city: playingout.net/

Thinking now about our comms strategy, we've been focusing on what we want to communicate, how and to whom. With a focus on open, inclusive, optimistic, and data driven comms. "We choose collaboration over division". Wonderfully said

We're really liking the use of the verb 'wander' in everyone's work. Which reminded @tomfarrand of J. R. R Tolkein's quote "Not all those who wander are lost" #winchesterwanderers

Starting to share some branding and design ideas... creating a "Wanderful Winchester" elicited a round of applause! #goodfornothing #winchester

We're imminently coming together to share all our work from the day... watch this space #goodfornothing #winchester

Part of what we're trying to do today is imagine what our city could look like with less cars and pollution. This amazing visual from @designengineuk based in Winchester shows you an example of what the before and after could look like. Can you see what we're thinking too?
