[Robotgroup] Casting plastics

[Leslie Filip]

My mantra: "I have a large, secure, easily accessible, well- 
ventilated area that some of you have already seen. I would be  
willing to host this class."

If you, John, or anyone else would like to lead a special interest  
group on a non-Thursday I will be glad to host it and provide  
refreshments.
