The meetings are normally held at St James Church, Preston Road, Yeovil. Anyone wishing to attend a meeting can get directions from the group via the contact form.
| GOVERNMENT RESTRICTIONS ON GATHERINGS AND TRAVEL Due to all the restrictions all our meetings are currently online using zoom video conferencing software (see the MERG meetings diary). If you wish to attend ensure that you have Somerset Area Group in your permitted contacts list on your MOMS membership page and you will be emailed an invitation to the meetings a few days beforehand. |  |
Do you hold workshops?
“Yes we do, sometimes together with a meeting sometimes a separate event.”

- Members bring their own built kit for where they have failed to get it working or need to share test equipment
