This evening was less productive than expected, due to traffic, but wanted to get a couple of pins in, so you can get a better idea of the scale of the place.

Thanks @JMP for helping

Good afternoon and welcome to The BPC

In today's news we hear from a Lancashire based man who is taking his first tentative steps towards realising an ambitious project.

It is hoped that it will create a social hub for hardcore enthusiasts and newcomers alike and benefit the local community.
Join us, as we follow him and his updates and insights regarding this exciting endeavour.

[broomstick]

When's the grand opening Luke

 

[Spandangler]

[lukewells]

When's the grand opening Luke

It's going to be a while, there is a lot to do

 

[Kaufmanised]

Amazing progress

Have you thought about branding for social media and tee shirts etc always worth a little investment as shirt sales is a great revenue stream towards the club

I have not to be honest, it's probably a great idea, but I'll never find the time to do it

Is there anyone that actually likes working on EM's?

I had a play around with Rock Makers and it very much needs a service. I tried manually actuating a lot of the solenoids and I see a lot of the steppers are not advancing/resetting reliably and need a strip and clean

 

[AlanJ]

Douse em in 3-in-1 oil and spray on wd40 - that’s what most folk seem to do.

 

[lukewells]

Sparking switch contacts and WD40, what could go wrong

Working on EMs is a bit of a tedious puzzle, my dad likes them but I don’t share the same enthusiasm for them!
