Wednesday: Show & Tell

On Wednesday we’re having our monthly Show & Tell thanks to Caroline Beavon and Tom Parslow.
Have something you’d like to show? Please do! Nervous? Try not to be, we’re a very friendly crowd and will look after you!
You volunteer your talk at the start. Talks are only a few minutes long, so you don’t need to do lots of prep. Write ups of some previous Show & Tells: April, May, and the July ’18 productivity special.
New event: Doodle Club
