Health and Safety:
Masks and negative LFTs are not mandatory, but if you're feeling unwell, please do not attend. Please exercise best judgement on your condition before coming.

If anyone has any first aid experience, I'd welcome volunteers to be the nominated first aider (I'm responsible for nominating a first aider in the venue T&Cs)

If you need to get into contact with me, it would be better to do so via Facebook, as I'm not very active on this forum anymore.

Hey :)

A bit late I know but just to say, massive thanks to Thomas Yau for hosting this AWS, and congratulations to Matt Smith of Team Croc for winning AWS 66 on his debut at the event with PANTHERK 2.5!

Next AWS is indeed in Gloucester on the 29th April, hosted by Ben Garbutt (one of the regulars at the Bristol Bot Builders events)

Hope to see you all there!
