A short and belated write-up of the light painting session we held Monday before last.

It wasn’t entirely dark:

There was a full moon and the sky was clear:

Those not following this site by RSS will have noticed the website has become a bit more stripped back recently. The latest version of WordPress doesn’t work so well with the old theme, so it’s had to leave us.

Any opinions on the new one? Too plain? Just the facts? Put them in the comments.

We’re going to start having regular pub meets to chat outside the clubhouse, where food and alcoholic drink are both available.  They will be every other month, starting Wednesday 13th February, at the Charles Bradlaugh pub.  See our Calendar or Facebook for details.  

The next workshop to run at NortHACKton will be another session run by Martin Raynsford, based on his previous success with his useless machine workshop last year.  This time you can build your own marble machine!  Turn a crank to run marbles down a con

e, again and again and again.  The workshop costs £12, which includes the complete kit.  Ball bearings included.
