I love this idea, Mike, and would have hooked up if I'd seen the email in
time. We've been Zooming with Aphra who can't visit us at the moment - all
four of us on different devices in our house and Aphra in her share house
up the road. I'll try and get organised for next week. Looking forward to
it.

Hi all
I've had zero interest so far in having an occasional (say weekly) video
meeting but I'm going to persist with the idea to see if it might take off.
Zoom is an easy to use video conference app for PCs, phones. tablets. It's
free to use (for 40 minutes per meeting). I'm using it with a meditation
group for daily meditations, and it works well and several of the members
are 'senior' so you youngsters should have no trouble.
So I'm initially going to host a meeting at 6 p.m. CST tonight (Sunday).
In future we can maybe try to schedule one that fits in with Gaby's
timezone. I expect the first meeting will have few if any attendees other
than me and if it does there'll be glitches with video and audio etc.
That's to be expected especially as I've never hosted a zoom session before
so might end up with egg on my face.
Anyway, for PC you can download zoom here.

or look for it in your android or apple app store. Do this well in advance
of the meeting so that you have time to create your login etc. It's pretty
straightforward.
Then about 5:55 click on this link

No agenda, just be nice to see each other and chat about poetry and the
week we've had.
And I'll talk briefly about the prompt for week 2, so attendees will get a
head start.
