Scottish Branch Virtual Christmas Doo

'Scottish Guzzis go Zoom'  - Virtual Festive Rally with Music & Magic

On Saturday 19 December we are holding the above virtual event as it is not possible to have our usual Christmas / Festive Doo with all the current covid restrictions.

The event will commence at 8.00pm and will feature Graeme McDonald entertaining us with his one man band music and his amazing magic tricks throughout the evening. Graeme now has a new broadband link and a variety of connected equipment to achieve a professional presentation

There will be plenty of opportunities to chat to all your friends some of whom you possibly will not have seen for some considerable time.  So enter into the Christmas spirit and of course any other kind of spirit, beer or wine etc and be sure to join in the fun - Santa Suits and Christmas jumpers optional!!!

Joining the Zoom meeting is simple, just click on the "Join the Meeting" link below  (highlighted in blue) and it will direct you to the Rally event. If you have not used Zoom before it will ask you to download the Zoom App,  just follow the instructions and you should then be admitted to the event. Rather than me explain all the features it is worth looking at this You Tube video   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9isp3qPeQ0E which explains very simply how to join the meeting and how to use the basic features. Anyone with an internet connection with a computer, tablet or smart phone will be able to participate.

If any of the more experienced Zoomers have anything they would like to share on screen (photos, videos etc) just let me know and we should be able to accommodate them.

We look forward to seeing you all on screen on the 19th.

Cheers

Ian Mackay
