[Robotgroup] Casting plastics

[Leslie Filip]

Hi. My name is Les. You can put me down as in interested party. If  
you let me know what is needed in order to have a simple  
demonstration I can get it. Then we can set a date for the class and  
announce it on TRG mailing list. I have a large, secure, easily  
accessible, well-ventilated area where we can meet. I will provide  
refreshments. Some people will not be able to attend, but I guarantee  
you that a few very grateful people will not allow themselves to miss  
the demo.

-OR-

Hi. My name is Mr. Poo-Poo. Go ahead and wait for a consensus from  
"the group". Let everyone tell you why they can't come every time  
someone suggests a date. Then you will never be doing a demo.

aka Mr. Poo-Poo
