[ELECTRON] Proposed new club + Arduino meet up

Thu Oct 13 20:40:23 UTC 2011

Great stuff Kieran, looks good! I shall endeavour to make it along to either
of the coming meetups.
I could print off a couple via my friend Mike who has a Makerbot if that is
any help, but don't want to duplicate.. Does it matter if parts come from
different printers do you think?
