mechanics for numptys

[slimbo]

well a date has been set (sorry for the continuing delay)

so 15th march 10.00 kick off
you will be greeted fed waterd and educated all in one day.
the location has a warm lounge area and a great workshop.
and a kettle that works very well..

this will give you the confidence to take on the simple tasks and i will also offer some great simple diagnostic tips too..

all you need to do is turn up with an empty stomach and a brain like a dry sponge.

cost is 30 quid all in and this will include handouts on the day.

all profits will be going to charity..

so pm me or taff asap and we can arrange a deposit to be paid.

or stick yer name after this post.
cheers slimbo.

dates

Count me in. I do work both days on weekend but have requested cover the the specified date. Let me know if there might be a change as I'll need to 're'-sort things out. Saturdays are much better for me....

Cheers !

 

[slimbo]

saturdays are always better but as were getting the site for peanuts i cant push my luck.

still more on the list cheers lads and lasses keep em coming..

 

[Taff]

This is Slimbos baby, but I've spoken to him and will do what I can to help him with the organising. So, after reading literally hundreds of posts on other maintenance threads last night this is the list of "Possibles" I've come up with so far. If your name isn't on the list, it doesn't mean you're not welcome. If your name is on the list, can you please post on this thread whether or not you can make it. It will make life easier.

Please note that this list was prepared late last night, so won't include the names of definates on this thread yet. I'll update the list every couple of days if that's ok - or more often if Slimbo wants it.

Slimbo. Do you want to handle the deposits, or do you want me to keep them in a separate account?
