There’s a $10 fee, which will be used for the benefit of the group; to grow, and to buy necessary equipment, and pay for any ongoing costs. The group will be set up as a non-profit.

There will be a review meeting at 4pm, which is free, and at which all are welcome to attend.

Come along to the 10am work session; the 4pm review meeting, or both.
