Pick several people willing to have a trial Zoom meeting with you - and play! Need several, if you only do it with one you can't try many rooms!
 
Only just seen this but I’d be interested
 
Hello folks

I have sent a DM today with the address and password for the Zoom meeting next Sunday.

let me know if you would like details and it hasn’t arrived.
 
Not long now folks 🙂
 
Well that was a lot of fun! If a little chaotic.

It was great to see folks and put some names to faces. Apologies to those who were only able to join briefly - hopefully when we have the next one we will be able to get chatting more quickly, as we'll need less time to get up and running.

Looking forward to updates on @mikeyB's amazing oil painting, @Ralph-YK's fabulous drawings, @SB2015's endless creativity, and of course the official naming and ribbon-cutting ceremony at @Stitch147's pub 😛

Was great putting faces to names. Looking forward to the next one.
 
Yup, great fun and great to see the faces hiding behind usernames. Though I was the the token participant north of Watford Gap.:D

We must do it again, as long as Covid is stalking the land and re emerging in hotspots.
 
We had a good Committee meeting too. 10 of us - how many actually attended the forum one in the finish?

Maximum of 13 at one point, but quickly settled to 11, then we restarted to get another 40 minutes and lost a few in the process ending with 8-9 I think.

A wide range of topics discussed, from Covid regulations, to the likelihood of the West Indies being so overwhelmed by the cucumber sandwiches that their batting order collapsed.

Not much mention of diabetes, though @Sally71 did gamely try to draw us back on topic once or twice... But we were too distracted by Ralph's Yorkshireman joke :D

Ralph might take issue with that, isn’t he from Yorkshire? Or do you discount people from the other side of the Pennines? (speaking as the daughter of a Yorkshireman, but married to a Lancastrian)
 
Oops, sorry for being the boring one 😱
Diabetes is my pet subject actually, I could bore the pants off most people talking about it. Which is why I like this forum lol!
Not that I actually like my daughter being diabetic, I hasten to add, of course I don’t, it's just that now she is I’ve made it my business to learn as much about the condition as I can possibly cope with!

Basal testing has gone well apart from the last half hour and now suddenly she's nosediving, which would suggest a reduction required from approx 4 or 5 pm. Well at least we learnt something! Tried to do it last week and she hypoed straight after breakfast and we had to give up (suspect we messed up the breakfast bolus that time!)
 
So good to put faces to names.

Suggestion for the pub name as a first stab
The Living Arms?
 
So good to put faces to names.
