 +===== How do Video Calls Work? =====
  
-====== MERG East of Scotland Area Group ======+<WRAP round tip> 
 +The calls last 40 mins after which you can re-join (using same id and password/link) for as long at it takes, to participate, members need a mobile phone, tablet or a PC / Mac with a camera and microphone. 
  
 +Calls are scheduled in advance and are held on the last Saturday/Sunday of the month sometime both days depending on the subjects. Topics are agreed in advance with any suggestion more than welcome. 
  
-[[:public:areagroups|Return to Area Groups News]]\\  +When it is time to start a call, a voice and video conference is opened up which has thumbnails of each video participant and any shared presentations or desktops. The call leader facilitates the call and the discussions and tries to get through the agenda in a relaxed manner. Zoom has two views available. The first is the speaker view which selects the video stream from the person speaking. The second is Gallery view which shows streams from all participants.

- +
-Meetings are held around once a quarter at West Calder Community Centre.  January (AGM), April, July and October. +
- +
-These are more formal than the workshops but still remain a relaxed and inviting affair. +
- +
-Here we can listen to down to earth talks on key parts of electronics in model railway layouts from people who really know their stuff. +
- +
-It is a chance to quiz these people too and present our own experiences without fear of ridicule or embarrassment.  They are experts for a reason - probably because as we are all experiencing going down the same journey - it is just that some have spend longer than others on that journey and are at different stations down the line.  +
-==== Workshops ==== +
- +
-[[https://sites.google.com/site/mergeastscotland/home/workshop|Click here for future workshops]] +
- +
-Workshops are held around once a month 10:30 to 15:30. +
- +
-We normally start with a coffee as everyone arrives and then chat through the aims of the day and who will do what and who will supervise and assist when needed. +
- +
-Lunch does happen but the timing depends on what each of us is up to.  But it is a good time to talk through issues you may be having with your home layout.  No over-bearing advice - just friendly options.+
