18th July is 3rd Wednesday of the Month = Open Session

[TonyD]

Hi All

Wow, a whole year has passed since we started our open sessions.

our next open session is this Wednesday 18th July so hope to see some
of you then.

I think cakes should be the order of the day to celebrate, I'll bring
along a Raspberry Pi ..... :-)

I think I'll raid the Sainsbury's for some naughty sweet stuff to bring to the little birthday celebration. :)

[Alistair MacDonald]

I will be there as well. It looks like we might have even more guests
visiting as well so goodness knows what we will do for space. I will
try and get in early and do some tidying. As for what to bring, I
don't know yet, but I will pick something.

Alistair, what time do you think you'll get there? I'll come along and
help tidy as well.

It kind of depends on the weather. Currently it looks like Tuesday.
;-) All help welcome. I will let you know when I do.

I'll come along early on Wednesday if the space is open early.  Let me know...

I was thinking of bringing my Reprap Mendel - almost complete, but not quite... I'm guessing there'll not be space for it if you're having to tidy? I'm happy to help tidy too. I'll probably turn up early and will help if I can, or wait in the car if I can't depending what time I finish work. W.

[Cay Green]

Oooo, looking forward to seeing the Mendel. 

See yous Wednesday :)

Perhaps we should consider overspill into Star and Shadow foyer?  Or is that only for afterwards when we're heading for a beer??

[TonyD]

@Alistair, are you still planning on tiding up the space today
(Tuesday) ?

If you are I can pop along any time after 4 to help

what did i mis last night ?

Glen

[Cay Green]

I didn't really look up from the maker bot so not much help... there was pop and crisps and we (Alastair) got the makerbot working - It struggles with complex parts, but is fine with relatively simple stuff, so a vast improvement. We printed a bridge that was meant to fail, but it failed in the wrong way... 

Will brought his RepRap along which was very impressive. Still a work in progress but not far off I reckon. And finally, Tony brought a raspberry pie, which was delicious.
