This will be a list of all the past machines that the club has had ##When you add machines to this page, add the most recently retired to the top of a list
The UCC has gone through a ''lot'' of machines in its 30+ years of operation. We have tried to keep a record of most of the machines that have passed through our club. That way, whenever older members reminisce, with a tear in their eye, the freshers have some hope of knowing what they're talking about.
