Workshop Modifications

Last week we made quite a few improvements to the workshop. After working in the space for a year it became clear what, where and why things were needed. Big up to Michael Armstrong and Nigel Easter for lending a much needed hand.

George Shaw editions signed

George Shaw returned to Newcastle to sign his three editions, Playtime, The Gamble and The Birthday. Following the signing we held a small gathering where copious amounts of Gin & Tonic (other mixers were also available) were consumed.
