[Lancaster] Geekup tonight?

[Dan Strong]

Hi there! I imagine I qualify as a newbie. Just felt like giving people a
shout out on here, since I've been lurking for a while.

Unfortunately, I can't really do Wednesdays, as one of the societies I'm in
at Lancaster Uni meets then. Keeping my eye out for other stuff going on
though. I really like the the maker lab idea, that's something I'd
definitely check out.
