Monthly Social night reminder .. Tuesday night...

At the top of the image is the Hitchin Hackspace "H" logo in the centre of a circle. The H is at 45 degrees and the character has a square outline. The words "Hitchin Hackspace", along with the H in the circle, are laser engraved on to an A4 sized sheet of Birch plywood. It should be at the pub, to help identify us, providing one of our members remembers to bring it!🤦‍♂️

Tuesday, 14th April, is our next #HitchinHackspace Social Night, at The Vic just down the road from the Hackspace, from 19:30/20:00.
Look out for our sign, say hello and find out about your local #Hackspace over a refreshing beverage or two #Hitchin #Letchworth #Stevenage #Baldock
