Rudy and I would like to thank Russell, Stephen, Spencer and Brindsley to coming to the Stripper Party last night, between them they stripped over 70 system units, and made a huge dent on the scrap pile that we need to urgently process by the end of the week. Legends!
We're having another party tonight at 6:30pm at 8b Wordsworth Street, so if anyone would like to come along and help that would be superb!
It's a lot of fun - imagine pulling stuff apart and not getting in trouble with your dad for doing so!
Hope to see you there,
Andy

Sorry about neglecting to include the address. I knew, after getting back from sorting and moving stuff from there in the small hours, I would forget something in the invitation email.
The Stripper Party is at 8b Wordsworth Street - the old location. We're having one tonight, and depending on how much stuff we manage to get through, we might need to have another one on Thursday!
There's a lot more room to move there now that most of the "stock" has be relocated.
The new location is 11/21 Michelle Road, Wigram, and will be run in a more efficient and tidy manner.
There is going to be a special section - in the new much larger and tidier shop - for stuff that robotics members (and men's shed members) will be interested in.
We will probably be closed for a few days as we're just waiting for Enable to get the fibre installed. I'm planning to pull some old cat5 phone lines out of some ducting (and replace with a pullstring) to speed up the install when the contractor arrives.
Cheers,
Andy
