Well, ladies and gentlemen, how was it for you? I am interested in any feedback or comments regarding our Bank Holiday Monday Zoom meeting. Personally, I think it wasn’t a bad first effort and would like to thank those who took the time to join in and were at the very least willing to give it a go, in an attempt to relieve the boredom and catch up.
Hopefully, the etiquette wasn’t too difficult to workout once you had dropped in, although it seemed to me for those who was experiencing Zoom for the very first time, did seem to pick it up fairly easily and everyone respectfully got the hang of muting their microphones in between chat to avoid clashing with other members, so well done everybody, great effort.
One thing that is evident though is the requirement of a half decent microphone as one or two of our members were a little difficult to hear or understand, I am reliably informed a relatively cheap set of headphones with a built in microphone is a good answer to this problem, but none the less to save the expense, we did seem to manage quite easily to work around this, by private messaging when needed through the zoom link.
With this mind, I propose we schedule our next virtual meeting, if everyone is in agreement, on our usual Club night May 13th at the slightly earlier time of 7pm for a Club Night. Hopefully this will allow even more members to join in, and who knows, we may even have a little more Porsche related items to chat about, as we slowly begin to come out of lock down in the future, fingers crossed.
Meanwhile, for those who were a little tentative to try to join in, have a look at Zoom, find your way around & have a look at the controls and settings. If a technophobe like me can manage there's hope for us all!
