Meetings have returned to in-person meetings, but there may be the occasional ZOOM meeting depending on Speaker’s availability/location.
The next few meetings are planned as follows:
September | This will be a Zoom only meeting (not held at Lhanbryde) |
October | at Lhanbryde Community Centre |
November |
The speaker will be presenting from the USA over Zoom. A decision will be made by the Committee closer to the meeting date as to whether this will be an online or in-person meeting, subject to testing the broadband capabilities of the hall and other technological issues.
|
December |
Quiz Night. A decision will be made nearer the time if this will be at Lhanbryde or online with other clubs participating.
|
January, February and March | These will be fully online via Zoom. This is to avoid having to cancel any meetings due to bad weather locally or affecting the Speakers being able to travel to Moray. |
