In 2021, the club is unable to meet in our usual physical location due to Covid-19. We therefore held our meetings using the Zoom conference platform. Below are a list of features, interviews and topics that were held during the year and at these virtual meetings.
Now that the club is meeting in preson, it was decided that "Winter" meetings would still be held on Zoom to facilitate the members and speakers from having to drive in adverse conditions.
