Thanks to everyone who attended the Mini yesterday, we hope everyone and in particular our many newbies got something out of the day (on top of their prizes at the end of the day!)
Due to time pressures for the organising group and initial lower than usual interest from the community, we made the decision to cut down to one day this year which I think was the right call otherwise it would not have been the best experience for attendees across 2 days. Thanks to the helpers on the day and to those that presented, and of course to Mikey for the venue access.
Here's some memorable points I learnt on the day:
Mikey's musical taste was not what I expected.
UK's internet & power is dependant on Greg's Raspberry Pi
Claire is one of the keenest newbies I've seen in a while
ChatGPT cannot be relied upon for providing accurate & correct information about our hobby
Don't forget if you get stuck, don't be affraid to reach out via these forums, the chatroom, FB page or xlights Zoom room. We were all newbies once and we're all here because we love to see our displays shining and the joy it brings to others.
Big plans for next year's event, you won't want to miss it....!
