 ==== 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.
-Despite what they say we are a friendly group and never bite and are surprising normal people who hopefully like you just want to enjoy your hobby and maybe get a little more out of it from an electronics point of view.
-Everybody has something they can bring to the party even if they don't realise it.
-**18 May 2019**
+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!
-Bedale Railway Station North Yorkshire. Confirmed
-Opportunity to ride the trains, and partake in a small talk on some aspect of electronics - kept simple, and also to have one of our fellow members tell of his trials to build a re-magnetising machine.
-then the normal open forum and try to get it working sessions.
-**20th July 2019**\\ Confirmed
+Since the problems of isolating and shielding have presented us with a need for alternative plans we have moved to Zoom.Generally we are still holding the meetings but on line. We convene online at 2pm on the 3rd Saturday of odd numbered months as before.
-Halifax - Bob G's house. Fraser Smith (Journal Editor) will be in attendance to deliver a short session on the journal and making PCB's. There may be a chance (weather permitting) to see Bobs G scale running about the shrubbery and the usual open forum and electronic type of chats.
+If you are currently not on the Yorkshire circulation list please drop Bob or I an email and we will include you on the next invitation.
+Please note these dates in your diary so that you don't miss out.
-**21 September 2019** TO BE CONFIRMED
