What and when are best ways to get involved

Hey guys!
Only found out about TOG a couple of days ago. Looks awesome!
I have had fairly serious ruminations over building some DIY analog synthesisers recently, and maybe some arduino stuff. This would be a large undertaking given my current level of expertise and free time.

I have no real means to solder and test things in my flat (very tight on space and money at the mo). I certainly don't foresee being able to afford an oscilloscope and decent multimeter any time soon; but it look slike you guys are sorted for test equipment.

If I wanted to start some electronics projects, what would be the best time to drop by and meet people and see the space? Is there anyone else working on DIY synths?
Also what can be stored on site in terms of incomplete projects?

Really looking forward to getting involved,
Ash
