 ==== Meetings ====
-== Dates for 2018 - 2019 ==
+=== Meeting Dates are generally the third Saturdays of the odd numbered months ===
-Please note you don't have to be a electronic whizz kid, to attend, just interested is plenty good enough.
+Yes as a group we have the full range from Know all to know nowt, and that is what makes it work. People are not made to feel silly but actively encouraged to ask the questions that intimidate them or they think may be silly. We all remember that once (or even often now) we still ask what we think could be silly questions.
-If you don't understand it we will do our best to explain it so you can get something from coming along.
-If you want to come along then please let either Bob Shanks or myself know, our details are in the journal and we can look out for you.
-**15th September**\\ Meeting at Nidec SR Drives in Harrogate, HG3 1PR
+We try to have a theme to a meet if possible, but often the more interesting bit is the open forum question time, where subjects can range free and the answers are generally free flowing and useful to have. If one person doesn't know we are sure we know a man who does!
-There will be a talk by Kit Spackman of APT-E heritage and Paul Leadley of APT Heritage.\\
-To reserve a place, contact [[https://www.merg.org.uk/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=555|Peter Denton]] via his Forum profile, or the above contact page for non members.\\

-**19 January 2019**
