[chbot] Name of the group

[Andrew Errington]

How about something with STEAM?

I think I originally had "Christchurch Robotics Society", which has a
Victorian charm.

I prefer STEAM to STEM, but I also prefer to leave things as they are.
"Robotics" has a certain cachet.

Anyway, that's just my opinion.  I am keen to see other suggestions.

Best wishes,

Andrew
