[Blackpool] Weekend of October 24th 2015

[Les Pounder]

Hi Mike

That's great news, well done.

Regarding the LASER cutter, DoES Liverpool are running a 1 day course this
Saturday [1] which covers all the basics of using a cutter and how to
maintain it. The course costs £70 for the day which is a bit of a bargain.
So apologies but I will not be at the Makerspace this Saturday, but it is
for a good cause :)

Best
Les
