Having just signed up to this, I note that the page currently states in
the "Where & When" panel that it'll be held on:

  Tuesday, September 27, 2011 at 8:00 PM (GMT) 

which presumably means that they changed their mind about the Saturday
timing on the basis that too many people couldn't make it.

BTW I built a RepRap at this event:

  http://www.emakershop.com/MasterClass

and have it mostly working (after upgrading firmware, switching to the
new fork of skeinforge [https://github.com/ahmetcemturan/SFACT], and
various other sodding about to get the stepper drivers to not overheat
quite as much as they were).

It's a great way of disposing of any surplus spare time you might have
;-)

Cheers, Phil.
