  • (10:00 - 11:15) A presentation

  • (14:00 - 16:00) A practical workshop session for your own boards / projects

Dates for meetings are held in the MERG meetings diary unless otherwise stated or see When are the next Meetings? below.

Anyone wishing to attend a meeting can get directions from the group via the contact form.

Do you hold workshops?

“Yes we do, usually together with a meeting.”

  • Members bring their own kits to assemble with help from others in the group where required
  • Members bring their own built kit for where they have failed to get it working or need to share test equipment
  • Any electronic circuit is welcome not just MERG kits
  • Members work on the current group projects together

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).

This situation will continue until the scottish government guidelines allow us to resume and we can meet any required social distancing at the venue can be achieved.
