[ELECTRON] Proposed new club + Arduino meet up

[Clive Mitchell]

Printers usually use a fine pitch timing style belt and get pixel
accuracy in both directions.  I'm not sure if they use anti-backlash
pulleys like the ones that are split in two with slight spring tension
between them so they grip both faces of the timing belt as it passes
over their staggered teeth.
