Upstairs was a bank of computers where we typed the final programme of Merlin&#8217;s Cauldron on P.C. (I only had an Amstrad Word Process or back then!) Downstairs was the vegetarian cafe which we used variously as a general Cauldron meeting place and for periodic meetings for involved in projects in Middlesbrough. It was a main base. We also organised two main events there- two mixed media events. Margaret Weir, my ex partner and a tutor \/ poet and workshop leader organised 9th Corner Poets event and I organised another called Merlin&#8217;s Table. In addition a number of local artists and photographers had work displayed on the Cafe walls throughout the festival.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Media (Cyber) Cafe on Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough was an amazing venue.
