Issue #125 — Merge

Hi

Big news this week! The Raspberry Pi Foundation and Code Club are teaming up to work on a common goal together. The merger will see Code Club become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Raspberry Pi Foundation but they will continue to run as normal and aim to reach more young people in a wider range of communities.

Also the new Astro Pi website has been launched! Check it out! astro-pi.org
