The meetings are currently held via Zoom once or twice a month. You can participate either by phone or via the web. To join via the web, you will have to follow a link which will guide you to install Zoom. You will then automatically be connected to the meeting. Phone-in numbers will be provided for those wishing to join via the phone. Note however, that the presentation involves slides that you won’t see on the phone.
