Week 603 – Laser Cut Yoto Stand, Berry Scripting, Poetry

Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

Christmas Opening Hours

Just a reminder that, as usual, DoES Liverpool is not officially open between Christmas and the New Year. If you’ve got a tag then you’ll be able to come and go as usual throughout the holiday period, but if not then please get in touch if you want to come in, and we can let you know if there’ll be anyone around.

We also have a planned network outage on the morning of Friday 30th December – see Google Group post for more details.

We’ll be back to normal office hours from 2 January.

Introducing our January Start Boost Members

We announced our new Boost members at our DoES DoES Xmas event; it’s taken a while to get all the photos etc. together, but here’s a short post introducing Susan and Tash.

• @alex@bobiverse.social: Poem #5So it ends
  But I thought it would not
  It is always this way
  A perceptual knotMy all and my own
  I thought it would stay
  The care that I give
  That love my main-stay

  But it’s gone
  Fled away
  The joy in my life
  She loves me no more
  I called her my wife
