I am a full time Dad and IT guru to pensioners. I might be free after Wednesday, I'll let you know. If not I will be totally free next week. Now all I have to do is work out how a Chromecast works and teach an 80 year old how to use it. Could be fun. John Veryan.

Anyway I am trying to set up a Raspberry Pi Users Group for Cornwall, with a view to setting up a Jam in Cornwall somewhere. This has come from a need to talk to other Pi Fans, but unfortunately I can't get to the meets in Devon. I have setup a Facebook group already, if that takes off then I will try and organise a regular meet and then with the help of others get a regular Jam going. I am also on Twitter. https://www.facebook.com/groups/cornwallraspberrypi/Incredibile as this may seem, not everyone uses facebook, so it might be a good idea to set that page to be public. Without a facebook account, I'm unable to see it.https://twitter.com/CRPUGAlso, I'm not conviced your retweeting of lol-shite and bolocks is going to attract people either. Your twitter account is not one I want to follow. Maybe keep the rubbish to your personal account? ie. Maplin deals, yes, questional photos of a Waitrose... No. Especially if you're trying to attract young people to it. However is it a good idea but do note that it's already been tried and failed for whatever reason - although I suspect it wasn't the Pi Jam side itself that struggled, but the cafe/hackspace/workshop that it was running in - in the middle of Penzance too. I've no idea what happened to it, but the mailing list has been quiet for over a year and their website is gone. (http://www.tech-shed.org/) Cornwall (& Devon) are geographically big and hard to cover - we did have a good turnout (relatively speaking) in Torbay yesterday, but it was more like a kids computer club at one point...
