Meetings can change without prior notice.
Unless otherwise stated, all meetings will take place in the Walberton Village Hall commencing at 7:30pm and finishing at around 10:00pm. We break for tea/coffee and nibbles at around 9:00pm. After the break, we gather round to make general comments and hopefully have any questions answered.
During informal meetings, two club PCs are available to enable individual tuition and experiments. Expertise is usually on hand to fix problems with member's PCs.
