<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Ham Fair will be held on [https://hamamenitiesgroup.org.uk/hamfair/ Saturday 10th June 2017]<br />
<br />
'''Planning'''<br />
<br />
We started by holding a planning meeting at the Ham Brewery Tap on 5th May.<br />
<br />
Assuming that we can use one of the HUG gazebos, we need a long banner to hang on the top, displaying our name. Maybe two banners, to include the other side of the gazebo. <br />
<br />
We need a big poster with our message, and some flyers with all the details and the contact info. What is our message? Two possibilities currently: <br />
* (1) A definition of the word 'makerspace'<br />
* (2) Showing that you '''can''' realise your idea. Think of a gadget or a thingy, and transform the idea into reality, a working prototype or model.<br />
<br />
More suggestions are welcome, including suggestions for developing the two we currently have. <br />
<br />
Ideally, the poster would be equally relevant to both techies and crafters. Our message should also include the idea that we are here to serve the community.<br />
<br />
Then we need a bunch of stuff to show what we already have done. <br />
* A board with photos of completed projects<br />
* A continually running video displayed on a laptop, showing 3D printer and laser cutter, lathe and more<br />
* A 3D printer making keyfobs customised with a person's name<br />
* Arthur's car project? Does it avoid obstacles? Is it available<br />
* Get that robot arm working, moving about<br />
* The egg-bot, with functional software<br />
* A game involving guttering, Lego and pumped water (Carl has the details)<br />
* Paul's wiggly pipe game is always a hit<br />
* Steampunk Coffee Machine, if available<br />
<br />
That was our planning meeting. <br />
<br />
RML now needs people to volunteer, to step up and each handle one aspect of it. With enough hands and a bit of co-ordination it will be a great Ham Fair. <br />
<br />
If everyone one does nothin' it will be a great Ham fail.<br />
<br />
'''Next steps'''<br />
<br />
* Andrea and Emma are designing poster. And Flyers.<br />
* Kris will print poster A0<br />
* Andrea and Emma will be redesigning front page of RML to have the same aesthetic as flyers<br />
* Ian, Dan and Ryan are supporting IT infrastructure for the above. If Wordpress too complicated we can have a static page as proposed by Ryan<br />
* Someone to get the gazebo banner printed and supplied<br />
* Someone to organize logistics procedure (check lessons learnt)<br />
* Print HUG membership Forms<br />
<br />
'''Exhibits'''<br />
