Following the success of Workbench 2019, we now need your help in planning our future events.
Our next meeting is scheduled for May/June 2019. However, due to increased numbers we may soon outgrow our current home, the Swindon MakerSpace.
Please consider taking a few minutes to complete this short, anonymous questionnaire. Help shape our future!
With Workbench only a week away, we have now put together some T-Shirts for you to wear. These are only available to order online and you will need to order them at least 3-5 days in advance as they are printed to order. I suggest you order them NOW as Amazon are giving a 1 week lead time, however I did get my tester in 3 days.
With regards the price, I have been able to offer these at £17.99 including VAT and FREE DELIVERY, (I heard there is a problem ordering under twenty quid to get FREE delivery without Prime. If you want, PayPal me the money and I will order it with my Prime to your address but you must supply me an email and message in the comments and i get back to you).. Any monies raised from the sales (typically £4 a shirt) will go toward our membership fees at the Swindon Makerspace for our regular meetups.
Speedball 2 Tournament is now scheduled for Workbench. We been working frantically over the last few days to try and get this together, sadly not everything is ready but I wanted to announce this now and we are still working on many things, the prizes, the format and when the finals will be played. We will be utilizing the venue the best we can, we will have few Amiga’s available to play these games on.
