Hi Gareth,<br>
<br>
There is an event in June:<br>
<a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/glasgow-science-festival-raspberry-jam-and-coderdojo-scotland-tickets-11220756585" target="_blank">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/glasgow-science-festival-raspberry-jam-and-coderdojo-scotland-tickets-11220756585</a><br>
but I am not sure what the set up is though. Craig (Coder Dojo) ran one<br>
(Coder Dojo+Raspberry Pi) event earlier this year. As you say, these<br>
events are normally over subscribed.<br>
Often the main problem is setting up a good venue. If the venue is free or<br>
cheap, then any ticket money can go on extra hardware. Sometimes companies<br>
are willing to tend space. Events often work well if they include:<br>
* bring and share<br>
* tutorials<br>
* some talks<br>
<br>
I have made contact with the computing at schools team in Scotland, who<br>
would be interested in notifying their members (teachers).<br>
<br>
Thanks for the welcome.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Will<br>
<br>
