Educational group visiting Makespace - FYI and Volunteering opportunity

Makespace (Cambridge, UK) **Volunteering opportunity** \- please \.com if you could help with this \(anything from helping with an actual activity\, to just being present in the room at the same time\) I will be at Makespace with a group of 10-15 (aspiring engineering) students for a visit. The plan includes a brief tour of the space, some equipment demonstrations, and time for the students to learn some skills: 1. learning to solder - mini PCBs with LEDS and resistors 2. engraving keyrings using laser cutter (students do minimal design on computer - a trained makespace member operates the laser cutter) Please note that this will not restrict or interfere with anyone else’s use of the space—we simply wanted to give you a heads-up that a group of young people will be present during that time. Thanks, Rachel

CB4 Life Group

Sarah and Tom lead the North Cambridge life group (nicknamed 'the fire pit group' due to their obsession with hosting any form of gathering they can get away with round the fire in their garden!) Although they meet in and focus on serving those in the CB4 locality, they are keen to build community with people from all over Cambridge and welcome anyone to join them on a Wednesday evening each week.

More about Southern Wood

Cambridgeshire, England

Southern Wood in Cambridgeshire is a quiet corner of the UK that somehow manages to pack a punch when it comes to live music. The Three Horseshoes has been strumming out tunes for years, proving you don't need a stadium to get your heart racing. It sits comfortably beside the rest of the county without needing to shout about its existence. Pub nights and local gigs are the heartbeat of the place, keeping things lively even on a rainy Tuesday. You can find what's playing this weekend right here so you aren't wasting time scrolling through endless lists. Just grab your coat and head over before the last bus leaves town.
