Coder Girl Hack Day

shadow-boxesWe had a great time at Coder Girl Hack Day on Saturday. The girls assembled shadow boxes from laser cut plywood. They got to decorate them and install some LED lights that they soldered together with 9v battery and resistor. The boxes worked great and the girls got to take them home too.

June Open Social

Well the Earth and Moon have turned once again and another month has passed. That can only mean one thing. It’s time for TOG Open Social.

This months Open Social takes place on Saturday 18th May at 7pm. If you fancy a great alternative Saturday evening in town, why not drop in and see us. We’ll show you around our space and update you on the progress. Saturday will be a busy day for us as we will be attending Coolest Projects in the RDS and we also have an OpenStreetMap Jam in the space at 2PM.

Our Open Social is a great informal way to visit us. You can talk to members and visitors, see what’s going on, or just hang out for the evening. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning. The evening is free to attend for members and visitors alike. Our doors will be open from 7pm. No booking is required…. just turn up. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets! Hope to see you there.

We’ll show you around the space and update you on the progress. Things are moving along nicely. Our workshop walls are going up and we’ve now had our first brewday. We might even have some beer samples for you to try 🙂

What a Night!

dog togWell we set out to make our Grand Opening Bash on Saturday our best party ever. It didn’t disappoint. The turnout was amazing.  Thanks to everyone for coming. We hope that you got a tour of the space and a chance to see some of the things and projects we get up to. We even had a 4-legged visitor checking out our new common room and space.

Our new kitchen was a hive of activity. Thanks to everyone who brought in food and helped with the catering. We had so many visitors that we ran out of Pizza dough by 9PM. That never happens. Our very own Dr Tri came to the rescue with her secret quick dough recipe (patent and patents pending 🙂 ). In the end, we think that everyone was fed and watered. Our TOG beer and wine went down a treat. Some snaps are on our gallery.

We’ll be working away on the construction of our new rooms and sorting our stuff over the next few weeks. Be sure to stay in touch with us on our various social media, web and email outlets. If you like us so much that you want to join up as a member, sign up the form here and we’ll be in touch. Hope to see you again soon.
