The call leader facilitates the call and the discussions and tries to get through the agenda in a relaxed manner. Zoom has two views available. The first is the speaker view which selects the video stream from the person speaking. The second is Gallery view which shows streams from all participants. |

- | Workshops are held around once a month 10:30 to 15:30. | + | |

- | We normally start with a coffee as everyone arrives and then chat through the aims of the day and who will do what and who will supervise and assist when needed. | + | |

- | Lunch does happen but the timing depends on what each of us is up to. But it is a good time to talk through issues you may be having with your home layout. | + | |
