There is a Men's Shed in Melba (suburb of Canberra (that's in Australia)) which doesn't have any tools but is very active. There is even a Meccano Group that goes around to the local schools. Here is a link to their latest newsletter: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3KACTzeu2lAMGVkOTkyZTQtZWQ1MS00NmExLWEyNTAtYzAxNjQ1ZjdmYzVi&usp=drive_web&urp=http://melbashed.net.au/?page_id%3D1626&ddrp=1&pli=1&hl=enNmExLWEyNTAtYzAxNjQ1ZjdmYzVi&hl=en# It's a bit too far away for me to be a member and I prefer doing something rather than listening to what others are doing. I gave a presentation once, showing some engines. I also got them up and building pop-pop boats which we all enjoyed. There is also a local Makers group called Make Hack Void which is run very much as a collective. They do tend toward the electronic end of the building spectrum but they have a number of 3d printers which has led me to join. I am looking forward to being shown how to use the printers. Not sure what I will do with them but they sound interesting. Here is a link: http://www.makehackvoid.com/ If you have been a member for a while and the other members think you are ok, you can get a key to access the equipment at any time. As an offshoot, one of the members has developed an RFID checkin. When someone checks in, the website shows that the space is open so others can come down as well. |

Bob, I just wanted to say how pleased I am that your on this group, I admire your courage in confronting your writing problems on a public forum! I don't have the same problem in English, but in French which I never learnt to write in, I have a really hard time writing, there are times when I don't even know how to begin a word. I can read and speak French, it's been my everyday language for the last thirty five years, but written French is not like spoken French the spelling depends on the grammar, which I cannot for the life of me get around! My hat's off to you mate, regards, Matthew. --- Quote from: krv3000 on November 26, 2014, 06:32:36 PM ---in a word brill as you no i had a rta that left me in a bad way a part from the hospitel ther seemd no hope for reabilatashon and thats the reson i started to go on to the forum to hellp me with my spelling sum times i get it all most right but uther times its crap but you all have helpt me to over cum this problem in this cuntery we seem to think that once you hit old age your scrap but as you sed if you is dowing sumthing you gowing to be more happy than siting in an old foks home looking out of a windo --- End quote --- |
