SERVICE DETAILS
Are you interested to meet or socialise with other GOC members online, from the comfort of your home?
Perhaps you don't find it easy to join many of our outdoor events for one reason our another, or you're interested to connect with members beyond those that you usually meet in person? Perhaps you are a co-ordinator of one of our other local or specialist groups and you are interested to host events online as well as outdoors, or to meet online to co-ordinate and plan your group and its outdoor events?
Whatever your interest, and whatever your level of technical experience or expertise, please join us - you are welcome!
To join the group and receive updates of news and events, please go to My preferences and include Online in your selection of groups. If you are not already a member of GOC, please Join us at https://www.goc.org.uk/shop/membership.
Membership: £17.00 per annum (4-month free trial)
Our online events...
Please keep an eye on our future events at https://www.goc.org.uk/groups/online, and click JOIN on any event page to let me and others know to expect you:
- Join our Weekly Online Social in Wonder, from 8:00pm every Tuesday night, to mingle and socialize informally with other GOC members from around the country. I will join myself whenever I can, but the 'wonder' of meeting up in Wonder is that you can self-organise without being hosted!
- I shall also host occasional events in Zoom for informal online socialising (particularly for anyone who cannot access Wonder, or who cannot attend on Tuesday nights) and to support members interested in hosting their own online meetings and events.
Please do let me know if you have any other suggestions for how we use this group and our online meeting tools, and if you may be interested in joining me as a group co-ordinator. Please message me via the contact form at https://www.goc.org.uk/groups/online or email me at online@goc.org.uk.
Online group co-ordinator - Martin Gilbraith
Our online meeting tools...
- Our meeting room in Zoom is suitable for the kind of private online meeting that you might otherwise hold in a physical meeting room. It is accessible on a computer, tablet or smartphone via an app, or with more limited functionality via your browser or you can even dial-in by telephone.
- Our networking space in Wonder is suitable for the more fluid kind of online socialising that you might otherwise do at a GOC event outdoors, or in the pub or tea room afterwards. It is accessible on a computer via Google Chrome, Firefox or Microsoft Edge – sorry, not yet on a tablet or smartphone or via Safari or other browsers.
There’s no need to create a new account or to log-in for either, nor to download or install new software. Full details including links to FAQs and further support are at our member-only page:
How to use Zoom and Wonder, please see https://www.goc.org.uk/groups/online.
