That sounds great, welcome (he says rather pretentiously)! But, errr, aren't we meeting on Tuesday the 25th?

All the stuff you suggest sounds like it will get a lot of people here very excited. :)

Hi Jamie, this all sounds great and your background sounds like it will lend itself to some fascinating workshop sessions!
We're actually next meeting this coming Tuesday. You'll be made very welcome.

Well unless someone more in the know corrects me....

This Tuesday 25th is a meeting but I don't think that there is a specific build or project planned as some of us are preparing for a weekend away in Sunny Sheffield to build a printer so have last minute arrangements to make.

2nd Oct - No meeting.
9th Oct - AGM so no build planned.

16th Oct- In theory back to the business of making stuff.

However I say all this on no authority other than I read your follow up post before anyone else :-)

Everyone is recovering from The 'What If' machine weekend but I'll confirm 25th for you tomorrow if nobody else sees your post.

Yes we're meeting on 25th 7pm - 9pm, I'm popping down to Silk Mill later this pm so will confirm that this is definitely happening later today. Sounds really interesting - we're currently putting a list together for event nights for the coming year - things people want to do, and things that people are happy to show others how to do, so it'll be good to add you to the calendar - happy to chat about it whenever you can make it down.

See you soon

Amanda

I'm thinking of coming down to your next meeting (I think that's the 16th of October?) I'm a local jeweller, I work with my family at Michael Hall jewellers. I also research historical metalworking, particularly medieval goldsmithing.

I met Hannah Fox a Crafts Council event I spoke at on Thursday. I say "met", it was more of a nod from a distance, but I went to see her at the Silk Mill yesterday, and she suggested that I get involved with this group. So here I am.

I'd be particularly interested in helping getting the workshop up and running - I'd love to be able to work on tooling that I can't produce at work.

Meeting on the 25th, I've checked with the Silk Mill and they're expecting us so it's confirmed.People can bring along their own project to work on, help with dismantling the What If Machine, help prep the yarn bombing for it's next location - Royal Derby Hospital or just come along for a visit and chat.
