COVID pretty much put paid to those anyway, if it hadn’t already been for the ever diminishing attendance levels. During COVID, and afterwards, we started running monthly meetings on Zoom, but we never attracted the attendance of much more than the committee plus two or three others. Personally I would love to see a return to the glory days when we used too have full meeting rooms, live demonstrations of software and hardware, guest speakers, etc, but realistically I have to accept that’s unlikely to happen again. Our membership is ageing, more reluctant to drive at night (let alone leave home) and the Msac platform has developed to the stage where there are few mysteries left. I still think there is a good reason for WAMUG to exist, but for the time being its destiny seems to be as a mailing list only unless someone with sufficient drive and initiative wants to start it all up again.
