general discussion/social meeting

I hoped I could see more home made CNC's.

That's predominantly not the "Model Engineer Way" where "Model Engineer" usually equates to "Man With Train Related Tunnel Vision", off the shelf conversions and ex-educational CNC equipment are the norm.
I dumped my local "Model Engineering Society" because it was in fact only a "Model Train Society", they all went on holiday to ride boring modern foreign trains and brought slideshows back with which to thrill us at meetings!
Woo Hoo! Get You Some of That!
NOT! ;-)

Yes it is true, not that way. Just there is no other. A bigger CNC or Automation exhibitions deals with a manufacturers, not with us, hobbyists. I hope you can understand me :)
