Things of Note

• DoES Liverpool: We asked Lauren, one of our first Boost members for a quick update on what she’s been doing so far. I think you’ll agree she’s been making good use of her membership to experiment and build up her product base!

• Jackie Pease: Cleaning McGraw, the DoES Liverpool pen plotter and replacing some of the toothed belts. It definitely needed it!
