Just a follow up from last weeks meeting.
First, thank you to those who could attend, below are some links and details from the meeting.
Again, Thanks to Hardik Trivedi - OpenTech Designs for showing his new program SolidWorks Drafting Assistant, some very interesting and helpful tools.
Also, Thanks to Wojtek Rogulski - CADtek Design & Drafting for starting the “bring us your problems”. I left him with too little time to cover in detail & the discussion generated requires more time, so we will continue with round two at the next meeting.
Speaking of the next meeting at this stage I am aiming for the 18th June 2025. The new venue was not without a few issues, but I am in discussion with them about the projector (connection & slightly out of focus), but overall, reasonable central to most, food was good, plenty of parking, so we will return for the next meeting there.
Items:
1.
The current header on the SSU chapter, I have just quickly thrown together. If you would like to see something different, I welcome ideas & designs to be sent my way. The header size is 2560 x 650 pixels, send us your designs!

I think that covers all of the outstanding items.
