Where to find us
The Electron Club is based in the Centre for Contemporary Arts on Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. See the CCA website for opening hours or find out where we are.
Who we are
Lots of different people are involved in the Electron Club. You can get involved as an individual or as part of a group. One of our main features over the years is in providing a free space for not-for-profit and voluntary groups involved in areas related to DIY technology, community media and environmental activities to meet and develop work.
There are a number of groups who meet on a regular basis and others who meet on a more occasional basis or for specific projects. See the groups section for more information.
Individuals are also welcome to join and use the facilities for their own projects, and many of our current members are just such people pursuing their own projects and hobbies.
Joining the Electron Club
People of all skill levels and experience are welcome, not just “geeks”! All that is required is an interest in playing with stuff, and a desire to be part of a supportive community.
Anybody can join online and membership is free.
