I'm just going to set up the Zoom meeting now as a scheduled meeting, so if you click on this link tomorrow at 20:00 UK time you should see a few of us  - I've set it up for a few weeks - @Boydie - Could you possibly make this a sticky post so folks know where to go ?

Cheers

John

Great to see all of you fellow forumites on the call tonight. Didn't realise that it was possible to fit so many people on one screen. Same time next week 

[PaulAds]

Ha ha...aye...it was like watching celebrity squares 

[CaliaMoko]

I want to join in when I can, but I'm getting conflicting reports of the actual time. It's 8:00 pm in the UK, right? I looked that up somewhere and it said 3:00 pm my time (Central Daylight Time). I downloaded the ICS file and imported into my calendar, which is now telling me it's at 2:00 pm my time. If it's 2:00 pm, I can make it the 17th only, I think. Better than never. If it's 3:00 pm, I can make it most weeks.

If you're CDT you're 5 hours behind UST and if you're CST you're 6 hours behind UTC. But... we here in the UK are now in BST (British Summer Time) so we're +1 hour on that. So you are currently 6 hours behind us (I think they both change on the same day so you should ALWAYS be 6 hours behind). So you're 2PM when we are 8PM.

So see you on the 17th!

About time they ditched this changing times I think. It's more annoying than anything...

[EDIT] 8PM Fridays doesn't have to be the ONLY time/day, btw. I/someone else can always arrange other chat times/days on top of this one.

[CaliaMoko]

Thanks, @Sterix . That resolved my confusion. The 17th it is! For now....

Just a reminder that if anyone would like to join our Friday evening Zoom chat session the link is here

It's all very informal and just a chance to catch up and say hello really. Unfortunately however you do have to bring your own drinks.

Hope to see you around on Friday evening

[Neil C]

John, so lockdown finishes sometime after 15th May?
You have secret sources?

To be continued I expect..........................

[pompeyjazz]

Fabulous to see you all on "Celebrity Squares" again tonight !

Tune in next week 

[Paulski]

D'oh! I thought this would be 4:00 PM my time which is 8:00 PM on the forum clock but I guess I missed it!
I clicked the link and met with myself but I didn't have anything new to say to myself, so it wasn't much fun and I left 
Must be 3:00 PM my time which means the forum clock is one hour later than meeting time...
Oh well maybe next week 

Paul

[pompeyjazz]

Hey ! @Paulski It would be great to see you next week and indeed anyone else. We had a lovely informal natter and a nice glass of red wine. Same time, same place next week 

[CaliaMoko]

So, does the Zoom meeting just stay active all the time? I tried logging in just to see and, sure enough, there I was in a meeting all by myself (it's 3:40pm here right now). I've done Zoom meetings but, if I am the host, when I leave, it asks me to end the meeting or appoint a new host. So I didn't know you could leave them open like that. It looks like any of us could arrange to log in at any time and chat.
