[Imc-makerspace] [Makerspace-keymembers] April Membership Meeting [Apr 26 Minutes]

[Barry Todd]

I have discovered the special usb cord for the Help Desk external DVD drive
is missing.  Please could whoever used it last return it.  This is not the
first time something like this has happened.
Please respect other groups equipment.

Regards,
