I'd be interested. Absolute newbie thou. Been following for a while and always wanted to start, but with work and a few moves just never got around to it.

 

[LawrenceDriveLights]

Your more than welcome @bluewombat, it would be a great opportunity to find out the basics.

I will run a Basic 101 info session and we can walk you through the aspects of getting a display up and going

Keep a eye on this thread as we will post more details soon regarding mini location etc
