Zoom meetings only at the moment

Good to see a program of events ... here's a sample from https://rcts.org.uk/windsor-maidenhead/events/ from where you can navigate to other branches.   The format of "members can register automatically, none-members are welcome but must approach the local secretary for an invite" appears standard all across

Quote
Monday 22nd February - Maidenhead – Zoom virtual 
Creating a Railway Timetable
Gawain Nicholson – Assistant Permanent Diagramming Manager | Great Western Railway 19:30

If you are society member, please login to access the registration link for this meeting.
Otherwise please contact Sally Goddard, maidenhead@rcts.org.uk for an invitation.
All members and non-members are very welcome to attend.
There is no charge but donations are welcome.

Zoom provides an excellent opportunity at present to attend meetings in far flung towns and cities that you would normally have to miss because the travel would be impractical.
