Welcome to the Ipswich Makerspace Google group.

We currently meet twice a month on Thursdays, the first meeting of the month is an opportunity for people to work on projects and get the benefit of the group's advice when needed. The second meeting is more structured, show and tell on members' projects, talks on useful topics and makerspace discussions and updates. The meeting algorithm is 2nd and 4th Thursday if you want to plan ahead.

Find us on our Facebook group
Or on Twitter @IpswMakerspace
