President’s Report April 2023

Hugh Macdonald, President

Dear members,

It’s somewhat crazy to believe that we’re already a quarter of the way through the year. I hope the month of April has been good for all of you.

Thanks Peter Bacon

Peter Bacon was our MC since 2018. He started when we still holding in person only meetings, transitioned with us to first Zoom only meetings when Covid hit in 2020, and then into the first lot of hybrid meetings in 2021, then back to Zoom only meetings, then back into hybrid meetings this year. Always cheerfully, and always with excellent preparation. Peter recently decided to step away from the role and I’d like to thank him for the service he provided to the club. Thanks Peter.

Monthly meetings coming up

Our meeting organisers David Stonier-Gibson and Kirsten Greed are doing a great job this year and booking many interesting speakers. We’ve still got many more coming up in the next few months. Just remember that you can either join in via Zoom or in person now. As I said last month in the monthly meeting, it’s a great night out. So if you haven’t been along for a while, I’d encourage you to do so.

Supporting SIGs

SIGs are a great way to meet fellow members and learn new things at the same time. Every SIG is open to every member in the club. So if some kind of new computer issue is interesting you or troubling you, have a look for a SIG on the topic. There are plenty that run each month and are listed on our website for you to find. You never know, you might get your issue solved and make some new friends as well.

Have a good month everyone and I hope to see you at the monthly meeting.
