Great, that works for me!

[DaveL59]

that's a risk in publicly giving out meeting details that "unexpected/undesirable" input could ensue, might have been better to issue via PM/email to those who've registered an interest perhaps?

Undesirables can muted/kicked off easily on zoom Dave. I shouldn’t think it’ll be a problem.

Thanks Grant. Looking forward to it.

That's why we've created a new 'StarGaZine' forum area, visible only to members to post this in.

It doesn't eliminate the risk but it's not much worse than handing out the details individually as there is nothing to stop them posting it elsewhere.

We will also have people on hand to moderate and all participants will be muted during the talks and possibly have cameras de-activated - we shall see how it goes.

[DaveL59]

thanks Grant, hadn't realised this was a members only section so not visible on searches, always been wary on net security, goes with the job or past jobs I guess

[TerryMcK]

Looking forward to it. I’d never heard of zoom before lockdown, been on a few family related ones since and my wife has done a few with her choir.

Sounds good, cant wait!

Hi' I'm hoping to watch this evening, I do have a question - Would it be advisable for people watching to have their microphone's muted during the talk? this would allow the speaker to talk without any interruption of background sounds.

Someone definitely mentioned in the other thread that they would be recorded and made available afterwards, but I'm not sure there's been any more information about that yet.

OK, it'll be the full rendition of Aquatarkus next time!

[Mick J]

If we get Nik Szymanek on drums Steve on keyboards, heading in the right direction ?

My keyboard skills are not much better than my bagpipe skills so this may not be the right direction 😱
