[ALUG] Blender Tutorial - Thanks!

[Richard Bensley]

Thank you Martijn, and thanks to everyone who turned up joined in.
Special big thansk to Richard Lewis for getting the venue and
refreshments organised.

The video results of the talk will be up asap. Once I have collected my
thoughts after this ever so busy weekend, I shall start thinking about
future larger talks!

Thanks again
Richard
