The society programme has now been expanded to include on line meetings and events.
For these virtual events, the society is using the Zoom web conferencing platform. Meeting attendees are not required to have an account nor is there any cost attached, but you will need access to the Zoom app.
It is recommended that you download to your desktop the Zoom Client for Meetings.
When you have downloaded it (Zoominstaller.exe), find it in your downloads folder and double click to install . The App will then appear as a shortcut on your desktop.
After Registering for the meeting of your choice, access it on the day by clicking on the link that appears in the confirmation email. It is personal to you at the address you have used to Register. This is the only way of gaining access to the meetings. Meeting ID numbers are not published for security reasons.
Meetings generally open 30 mins before the billed speaker time, but check for the specific meeting in the calendar on this website.
To download the Zoom app, go to the Zoom website here – https://zoom.us/download
