London Meet up 12th March 2011

Hello all,


The London Hacker space has been hosting a small locksport workshop on a fairly regular basis for the past few months. Last month I posted on here and a we had a few extra faces turn up. This month the doors are open to pickers again regardless of experience. So if you are new to the hobby this is the ideal place to pick up some tips on where you are going wrong, If you are a little more experienced then please do come along and just enjoy picking with others for a change.

1 – If you are in the area or willing to make the trip please come along. If you are new to the sport then please do not let this put you off. We will be happy to guide you in the right direction with any tuition you need. If you are a more experienced hobbyist then you know how much fun it is to sit around and geek out over locks not to mention putting your skills up against other pickers, plus its always fun to teach a newcomer to the sport.

2 – If you do come along and have a spare lock or two then please do bring them along for the hacker spaces communal collection of locks. They have a growing collection of locks but they also wear them out at a considerable rate with newcomers sawing away at the pins (as we all did when we started out). So any nice cheap euros or padlocks you feel your skills have outgrown would be eagerly received.

Workshop starts around 3pm onwards

Units 23 & 24
Cremer Business Centre
37 Cremer Street
London E2 8HD

Hope to see you there!

Well, being a very newby i think i should make the effort to get there from sunny Luton for the afternoon.
Sounds as if it could be fun and a good learning opportunity. Plus i'm sure i could donate a few of the locks I've been collecting ( I've been in the metals skip at the local upvc supplier...when i was there making my last purchase of course.. ) ah, well, theres a tip too for getting free locks...ask the guys that work the upvc trade, usually only too happy to give the junk away...One mans junk etc..
good hunting.

And good fun was had by all!
It was standing room only. lots of friendly faces and I think even the more experienced among us learned a few things, then again you always do when you get that much experience in one room.
