A good meet today. We kicked off with some reminiscing about the rocketry day and some of the more entertaining lessons learnt (such as not launching chemical rockets into the wind). After this everyone agreed that we should do it again. Rather than merely repeat the rocketry day, it will instead be extended to also include siege weapons capable of throwing tennis balls, such as catapults, slingshots, trebuchets and the like. More information and a doodle poll soon.

Second event we would like to hold is an evening of talks, with an eye for holding this regularly. Location submissions are accepted for somewhere cheap and quiet. We’ve got a projector already, if a bit old. Again, I’ll release poll information tomorrow. Suggestions are also welcome on the list or as a comment here for places to advertise either or both of these events.

Finally, I am very pleased to announce the donation of a number of electronics boards. I’ll write this up in a separate post, as it’ll take a while to enumerate them and provide links to the right websites. But we now have toys that will go on the wiki and people can book them out and do what they like with them.
