GOVERNMENT RESTRICTIONS ON GATHERINGS AND TRAVEL Due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions all our meetings are currently online using Zoom video conferencing software. Zoom is easy to use so please join us online. You should find that we normally have a 90 minute meeting on a midweek evening (fortnightly).
