I live i Torbay and would like to help lobby yes.Â
Also I know many creative people and small businesses that could do with access.Â
This scheme appears to provide far more than just soldering looking at the brief on website its for both commercial and educational usage. There is ETF in Torbay which mainly caters for the jobless. Paul have you had any interest with them ?

Hi Matt, I remember you came to the tech jam a while back and were talking to Matthew about CSS on the tech jam website. l

A while back I helped ETF find someone or with a job description for someone to teach programming, i think what is needed here, is for interested parties to get together,l discuss adn come up with a proposal for this, then once we know what we would like / want we then take it further, but lets approach them with the right proposal.Â

I mention soldering as we can't do that as part of the Tech jam, and yet, the pi zero comes with no soldered headers, so anyone wanting help with that we can help people. so i am thinking of the very basic stuff so that group is not overlooked.

I know the college can probably cater for this but they are out of the way. Ideally we need somewhere central and independent from them, so it is run by users for users. We should then have maximum flexibility on how things are done.
