+ | We see ourselves as a mutual-assistance group, where members look to each other for advice, help and support. | ||
+ | Our members range from having little electronic knowledge to being fairly advanced. | ||
+ | Interested members co-operate on their specific interests – e.g. everything from soldering skills and kit building to 3D printing and PIC and Arduino programming. The group aims to cater for all levels of skill. | ||
+ | There is no specific commitments required from those who join. | ||
+ | Members can put in and take out as much as they wish. None of us know everything and we can all learn from each other in a more informal manner than through the MERG forums and email groups. | ||
+ | Of course, you don't have to participate in the Area Group, but you might find that we have a lot to offer - and learn - from each other. | ||
