Computer Club Meeting

Introductions and Welcome, especially to new members

A welcome and reminder for any newcomers.  We’re getting around 40 members at our meetings.

After more than two years use, the `regulars’ have become familiar and professional with Zoom.

Meeting `discipline' is good, but occasionally members may somewhat prolong a discussion.

There are a lot of people at the meeting, and  they all may like a chance to join in.

I and the committee ask that: 

• Everyone please avoid `jumping in’.  Learn how to use the 'Raise Hand' option before raising any topic. 
• Try and focus on the subject being discussed at the time;  New Subject - New hand-raise.
• We ask that you avoid rambling into other side topics.
• Please don't be offended if I or one of the Co-hosts jump-in to bring the discussion back to the topic.

Question Time - for everyone

Do you need some help?  Please think about your current problems.  Ask any question on any Family History or Computer-related subject.  Someone will have an answer for you - no question is too simple!
