These will generally start at 7.30pm and will involve some activity or skill share.
The dates are listed below along with some details.
If you have an idea for a workshop or are willing to run a workshop then please drop me (Matt Little) an email at matt_AT_re-innovation.co.uk. We can then help sort out the materials and logistics. This is YOUR hackspace. It relies upon YOU to get involved and make this work.
