NOTE DATE CHANGE - place indicate availability.

Hi Team,

As discussed at the meeting, the likelihood of my shed being in a state to accept visitors is low in the near future, but, I can certainly run a tech evening at our studio/week digs in Northcote.

Time: 6.30pm onwards
Location: 233a High Street Northcote. (Above Joe's Shoe Store)
Getting there: There is pretty good street parking in the area, which is unrestricted after 6.00pm. It's also on the 86 tram line and about a 400m walk from Merri or Northcote railway stations.
What to bring: Cash for Pizza and beverages (circa $15 would cover this) BYO adult beverages, There is a bottle shop across the road. Bring a tablet or laptop if you like, pencil and paper for notes or ideas, magazines or websites, photos, whatever for things you want to discuss

Topics: Largely up to you guys. These "bench racing" sessions can be really good fun. They can be as specific or as wildly conceptual as you like.

We had a good show of hands for this at the meeting. Room capacity is circa 13. Who is in? I've made it the Wednesday, but I can move it if necessary.

With all the rookie mistakes I'm making with my engine swap "I am not worthy!!" I'll leave a spot to someone further along thier journey. Maybe next time.

Sounds like the perfect reason to come

Question 1. How do you fit a vitara steering column to a Sierra uni? Um. You spend a few solid hours widening the opening. Then you read a little further along the build thread and find out they are a different spline!! Deep breath. Hahaha. Off to the wreckers to find something that actually works. I'll keep an eye on the numbers and confirm closer to the date. Thanks.

I had a very good show of hands for this at the meeting, but with three days to go, only two confirmed.

I have other things I could be doing that night - should I move the date so some or all of the people who expressed interest at the meeting come along?

I'd be very happy to attend but currently waiting to find out which day I can pick up my new Jimny so yes if I'm not getting it that night?
