7th October 2015 - A Fellowship Evening
This week we are trying something new - rather than a speaker members simply turn up and see who is online and chat about anything you want.
We hold an online "Speaker Meeting" every Wednesday evening at 19.30 BST [GMT+1 London] online using video conferencing from Zoom Cloud Meetings - to join us simply use: Rotary E-Club of East Anglia's Weekly Zoom Meeting, https://zoom.us/j/470985565
Meeting: Thursday 8th October - Wednesday 14th October 2015

Last Night's Meeting ... 7th October
Using Zoom Cloud Video online meeting several members met up and chatted about many things and had good conversation without a speaker. Some of us could not attend as it coincided with the District Council Meeting but I gather that it was a pleasant experience and maybe we should do this more often .. say once a month which will be a relief to David as he will not need to find as many speakers!
