@members it’s summer party time once more…in a little over 2 weeks – so put it in your diary and start planning…
What’s the format?
Whatever members want to make it: part open family day, picoMaker Faire with show and tell…wiggly wire game, nuts and studding game, live music, projections…who knows?
In general it’s family time early on with an open house feel, getting boozy as it gets later
If you’ve got an idea, and some energy to go with it…then stick it in a comment
These events always involve food and drink and are a chance to celebrate where we’ve got to and how we arrived – and generally get together and enjoy ourselves.
Cake Competition?
At this week’s members’ meeting a food/cake baking competition was suggested…anyone want to take the lead on this?
Live music
This was a nice feature of last summers’ party…so we’ll set up a mic and amps…if you want to play a set let us know
Food
Generally it’s a BBQ with guests bringing along side dishes as sharing food…however we don’t have a BBQ and Ahmed’s one ended up in a skip…so: suggesitons?
Sustainability
Lesley has offered us enough wooden cutlery to see us through, if we can keep it plastic free that would be nice, and maybe we can muster some real plates from somewhere and cut back on the single use items too?
Local traders
We’ll invite our neighbours on the Estate and Norwood as usual, but this year we’re expecting a few more might turn up as there’s been a lot of communication since the sale of the railway arches by Network Rail (but that’s a story for another thread) and there’s a good community feel around the place…
Pitch in and make it happen
Let us know if your coming, and vitally, if you can get involved in preparations
