Tomorrow "REMO" in March are launching their #MakerSpace and "Workspace Pods"... March in the middle of the Fens is an interesting spot for something like that and will be interesting to see what they have there. I gather there is #3DPrinter and #CNCRouter stuff. Unfortunately not really in scope for us to make use of it at the moment due to life and stuff, it's a little far away to be casually useful (20 minute drive from home, not terrible, but I don't really have spare time.)

Exciting times! After years of hard work planning, fundraising and renovating we are very excited to announce that REMO Makerspace Memberships and REMO Workspace Pods Rentals will be available from the 1st of December.

We will be hosting an open day on Saturday the 29th of November.

They're not great on info and social media, all I can find is a Zuckerbook post: https://www.facebook.com/REMOTrading/posts/pfbid02djNwL16vvP9APfZNTjczgtTMRNYkdv6hywh2S36xbUoXiAoNLjDgeoTwiy32b7XQl

About a 20 minute walk from March train station.

Join us on a gentle night of summer rain as we listen to the rooks and explore the beauties and ambiguities of liminal places.
A night of crow song, poetry, and a guided tour by Luke Sherlock to the ruins of a church under wide East Anglian skies.

I just stumbled upon this

The Viking Link is an electrical feeder from offshore wind to the national system; there is always rescue archaeology before building projects.

Fenland Fields: Evolving Settlement and Agriculture on the Roddon at Viking Link Substation, Bicker Fen, Lincolnshire

Two distinctly different enclosure systems in Lincolnshire were excavated. A series of inter-linked enclosures formed part of a larger complex farmstead developing dating to mid-2nd century AD and some features indicated industrial activity and the main economic focus was beef production. A Saxon field system characterised by curvilinear boundaries and irregular enclosure sizes was also excavated nearby and dates to 6th and 10th centuries AD. Its focus appears to have been pastoralism.
