Meetings are always interesting and enjoyable, providing fellowship, support and advice for members and visitors in a safe, friendly, non-threatening environment. If any suggestions are made by the audience for improvements to an idea / invention being presented, the suggestion becomes the property of the inventor. Come along and bring your idea, prototype, model, or even the thing you made years ago if it's still working. We can help you by brainstorming and maybe make it a success.
