Would you please create a forum for

Thanks,

* Nearest Neighboring RepRap User Groups
* Robot Hobby Clubs (including First Robotics Competitions)
* Geek Groups Meetups (keywords: artist-run center, artbot, barcamp, dorkbot, experimental media, ham radio, linux, arduino, blender, circuit bending, RC aircraft, rocketry, cnc, etc.)
This will require a few google searches, where you enter your town and one of the keywords above into the following string:
"Your Town" keyword (meetup OR meeting OR group OR club OR society OR workshop OR hobby)
* Local/Nearest FabLab?
* CNC Group Meetups on cnczone.com or otherwise

Local Shops may be better or worse than buying from online retailers. This depends on your local shops and what you're getting. Stepper motors you'll want to get online, steel rod - perhaps not. Fasteners, it depends. You may want to check your yellow pages to look these up, as opposed to online.
* Local Steel Suppliers
* Local Bearing Suppliers
* Local Fastener Suppliers
* Local Electronics Suppliers
* Local Machine Tool/Industrial Supply, (Occasionally unwelcome to hobbyists, but who knows?)
* Local Electronics Surplus Shop
