View source for Summer Makers Day July 2019


We're holding a "Summer Makers Day" on Saturday the 27th of July from 12:00 - 18:00.

This will be a large open day where people can have a look around the hackspace to see what we get up to, and be tempted to become members if they aren't already ;-)

==What is the Hackspace?==

A communal space for people who make things... because EVERYTHING has user-serviceable parts inside and we're not allowed to do this stuff in the house either.
