It is not just Croydon and South London Branch that has successfully held virtual meetings: both South Essex and Watford have followed our example, and I believe other branches are planning to do so. Great thanks are due to David Jackman for his assistance to us all, and having taken on the role of ...

Following my previous post regarding virtual (on-line) meetings, we have now organised two more, to be held on Mondays July 13th and August 10th, at our standard time of 19:30, again using Zoom.
