[ELECTRON] Proposed new club + Arduino meet up

[Blair Thompson]

I am probably going to be in B&Q this weekend :(

I will have a look for the tubing while I am there.

As per the hot end.  I have the e-mail address for the guy who builds 
the J-head.  I can forward it to you if you like?  Worth mentioning me 
whoever places the order as he gave me a decent price on one the last 
time.  Also worth mentioning that it is a comunity printer.  As we found 
out with the RAMPS board this might get us a better price.

I think by the way I have a thermistor somewhere for the print bed if we 
go the heated route.
