And another now even more distant member back in my Scottish Border 
homelands...

I did like the little meet-ups. There is nothing like it where I am now. 
There is a ScotLug - but that's in Glasgow and I don't think they've met 
up in some time. Both Edinburgh and Newcastle (both 1.5 hours away) have 
hackspaces - The Edinburgh one is expensive and has expensive parking, the 
Newcastle one is cheap and free parking, but while I do visit Newcastle 
regularly, it's not on a convenient day for me.

So as usual while there are many advantages living in deepest ruralistan, 
there are also disadvantages too.

Actually, we have a "mans shed" in town, but they're mostly woodworkers. 
There is another in Kelso which is only 10 miles away, but it's mostly 
crafts, there is little that goes on in the way of electronics and 
computing. Or was, last time I visited. Maybe I ought to try them again... 
Who knows.

Gordon
