Last night was the welcome event for Heroes at the Mark Addy – free hotpot dinner and then free drinks from 6-11pm. I had a lovely couple bottles of red and definitely recapped a fair amount of the money I paid for subs :)I go out all the time, this kind of thing is really valuable to me, just depends what you want from it I guess.

We’re going to blow members away with extraordinary offers, great events and lots of surprises. BUT there will be free to read access on nearly all the stories for all those who care about Manchester and the region. This way we’ll build readership and gain more members. At the same time we want to be the automatic choice for Manchester when it comes to exciting media.'I like Mancon because it is independent. Also because I like the stuff they write on architecture, which no-one covers in the slightest on any other general media for Manchester. And while its not the finished article I admire that they allow negative comments on their site about themselves, it's sort of stupid perhaps but noble.
