Mayham for 2023 has been postponed and will not be run. The group are refocusing and realigning the
direction of the event and hope to return in 2024.
The second “Christmas Ham” event ended last Friday. Congratulations to P.B. (ticket number #13) who won a very nice looking 3-D printer. The third “Christmas Ham” event has been postponed until first quarter next year.
