Cool. Every couple of weeks sounds like a good start, or I could
just turn up weekly and see if anyone else does. I suspect that
trying to find something that will fit everyone might not work
out that well (certainly without much notice like this time), but
if the day/time doesn't move too much it might be easier.

Yeah. I'm going for the "I'll be there, and if other people want to
show up too, it will be cool" approach, and see if there is enough
interest. Even if there isn't, i'll still be there (i'm all of 10
minutes walk from UCC at the moment), but hopefully there will be
enough interest.

If not, at least i'll get some more soldering practice :)
