    Hi Roboteers,

    I have volunteered to act as a deputy for Kevin Scott to organise meetings for roboteers in Yorkshire.This is not intended to be exclusively for Yorkshire people, and roboteers from Greater Manchester, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire (and elsewhere) would be welcome.Kevins contacts and my own are limited, so please pass on this invitation to anyone else who might be interested.

    The first meeting will be held in the Founders Bar at the George Hotel in Huddersfield at 7.30pm on Saturday 3rd April.The George is in the centre of Huddersfield.It is across the road from the Huddersfield Railway Station and only 300m from the Bus Station.There islimited free hotel car parking on the railway side of the hotel, and a larger pay car park associated with the station.

    If you havent yet had an invitation, drop me an email and I will send you maps showing how to get there.

    The address of the hotel is:-
    The George Hotel
    St.Georges Square
    Huddersfield
    West Yorkshire
    HD1 1JA
    Tel: 01484 515444

    The provisional agenda is:-

    1.Welcome and Introductions
    2.Report from Kevin Scott, a member of the FRA Executive, with a discussion on the future of fighting robot competitions.
    3.My robot - A volunteer (could this be you?)gives a 15 minute round-up of how his/her robot was designed and made, and what is promised for the future.
    4. Exchange of information/equipment between roboteers.

    Do let me know if you think that you will be able to attend.

    Best wishes,

    Jeremy Cuss

    Stands back in Amazement -great to see the social thread activated again after 8 years.
    Personaly I have allways felt its a great way to recruit new roboteers to the fighting robot world-
    you can get loads of information online and blogging but you can get enlightend with a good
    social -especially if someone brings along a robot or bits of one, for reference see my thread
    on Have Socials Died a Death ? Sheffields a tad too far for me but anyone near York ?

    That sounds fantastic, I'd love that at some point. Though it is difficult for me to get there, I don't have a car yet.
