Our usual meeting venue at May’s Bounty will be opening again from July 4th, but with reduced hours and a range of other measures to help maintain social distancing. At the moment it just isn’t sensible or practical to hold physical meetings – this could continue for some time. We want to keep the club active so we’d welcome members’ views on what they would like to see, plus any ideas for increasing (non-physical!) contact.
We will be continuing the monthly virtual meetings on the third Monday of the month, using the Zoom application. This is quite easy to use and free to meeting participants. If anything, this way of doing things improves the visibility of presentation slides as they appear right in front of you!
You don’t need a camera at your end, just a screen and keyboard. If you are not sure about getting set up and operating Zoom, let Paul G4CSD know and he’ll sort out a one-to-one test session to demonstrate things.
Our next virtual meeting (Monday 20th July) will be a talk by Alan G3UCF entitled “1947 Allander A410a SW/MW/LW Radio Rebuild”. The access details for the event will be mailed to individual members in the preceding week and the meeting will open at 7:45 for an 8pm start.
