I agree - at one surrey/hants bring a box meet there were (IIRC) four or so repraps attending
which got more LUG members interested in building their own!

Same here!
I know there is an massive overhead in starting and running a hackspace but perhaps there is a way
to get the members of both groups to fund a common space somewhere - or is the area (travelling
distances) just too big/wide?
One thing suggested and dropped as unfeasable was the idea of a mobile hackspace. Too limited,
no three phase, insurance, problems with long term parking, high cost of fuel, who drives it etc.
Personally I think the idea is seriously cool even if unfeasable outside the scottish highlands.

p.s. I already have my own personal hackspace(s) - in my garden :-)
