Myself and Tim Richardson have happily handed over the reigns to Brian Corteil, someone we’ve known for many years, going all the way back to CamJams and especially Pi Wars of old.<\/p>\n

Brian, a Makespace Cambridge<\/a> member, thought that the space would make an excellent venue for a Raspberry Jam and, after Saturday, I have to agree. Not only does it have several spaces within, but being in the centre of Cambridge gave a different “feel” to the Jam, which is certainly to be welcomed. After all, as Alan O’Donohoe and Ben Nuttall (the people who came up with the idea of Jams) were fond of saying: Every Jam can be different!<\/p>\n
