Due to damage to the gantry, resulting in the mirror being unable to be secured properly - The Laser is out of action until further notice - We are looking to bring it back on line as soon as we can, and will update soon.

Hello!
This is by no means any sort of pushing / pressuring / trying to annoy. I’m just trying to plan whether to fly to London this weekend…
Based on the kind of injury the laser has had… Do you think it may be back in action by Sunday? Or is that unrealistic?
Again, not complaining or annoying, just trying to figure out probabilities 
Thanks!

OH BOY!
It’s just as well I checked the messages because I was about to head out into the freezing cold tomorrow for a session at 11am.
I will cancel.
Hi there! Just checking in to see if the laser is back in action?
Still out of action - when there is news, i’ll put up a post 
Wait why?
What happened to the temporary fix?
Sorry - to clarify (didn’t see which topic this was).
The laser is ok for inducted people - just don’t touch the mirror please.
It’s out of action for inductions until the repair is made

Ok thanks for the clarification!
@metaltechs have shortened the mirror screw heads by 1mm, which means they are 1mm longer and are now working properly. Can you verify?
To me this should mean the laser can be used normally including for inductions until the new part arrives, but will leave the final determination to you.
Thanks!
Andy
