So, to be clear:

1. You do NOT need a paid-for Zoom account to join the meeting. FLO are covering the costs for a Professional subscription for, so there are no time limits. You don't even need a Zoom account to join. You will just need to download the client - it takes a few minutes. You can join by phone or tablet, there are apps in the Google Play and Apple Store for Zoom.

2. We will post the meeting ID and password on here tomorrow, so you will have plenty of notice. The session will start promptly at 8pm, but don't worry if you are a bit late, we'll still let you in

 

 

We are really excited by this - should be huge fun! And please do share the word with societies or other groups!

And please do get in touch if you would like to do a talk, or have a suggestion for future topics. 

 

See you tomorrow!

I'm sorry for bothering, but which timezone 8PM ?

  A genuine laugh-out-loud moment. You're aware it's a bank holiday on Monday, too?  He says, having only found out on Thursday himself...

This sounds brilliant, looking forward to it ☺

I'll have to wait until it's repeated. I'm on a night shift tomorrow night 😩

Maybe get to look in on it but I'll have people and processes requiring my attention that early in my shift.

If it could be put off until about 1am it might work for me

[x6gas]

This is a brilliant idea and I can't wait.  Thanks for arranging.

Thanks Craig and Thank you for being so restrained with your reply to my completely numpty question.🤣 Cant believe I went straight past that post....not once, but at least three times. Doh!!!

Off now to wop myself around the noggin with vol1 of Burnhams Celestial Handbook in shame.

[SimonS]

Well I've registered and Zoom is installed on my Smartphone. Looking forward to Steve's presentation. I was informed I should type in an eleven digit number after the installation, but does that mean to access the meeting. I'm a bit puzzled by that, I may have it wrong, Perhaps that was intended for a pretend meeting.

Hi Ron, the 11 digit number is usually embedded in the link so when the details are published later it should take you straight to the meeting.

Many thanks Paul, that's simplified it for me.   This new innovation could provide a great educational tool.   

👍Ron.
