[ELECTRON] Proposed new club + Arduino meet up

[Kieran Wyse]

Hi Blair,

Well done on getting your printer to print.

I unfortunately don't think I'll be able to get to the electron club before
the next meet up to scavenge. If they are still there by next Thursday then
I'll start with a screw driver.


As to modifying the calendar

The username and password for the electron club calendar is

  'electronclub' and the password 'clubcal', and click the 'Login' button.

The full how to is

Hope this helps

Kieran
