Just pondering on an idea...

Peroni is good. Perfect for zooming (to stay on track) I even have a Peroni glass. Looking forward to zooming, teaming or google-grouping. If coolchange brings his bong I'm firing up the hubble bubble.

Lets try it out.

Ok guys.

This Saturday 27th February.

20:00 GMT

15:00 ET GMT - 5

12:00 PT GMT - 8

Please PM myself your email address for invite - I’ll do the meet here in zoom if the numbers are below 15 persons.

Zoom limits us to 40 minutes free to use which isn’t the biggest of windows but let’s see how it goes.

Otherwise it’ll be a teams meeting - I can accommodate unlimited numbers and unlimited time with this - it’s my preferred choice but most people are comfortable with zoom

You don’t need any of the above software to join a meeting - a link will be emailed to you which will open up in your web browser.

Obviously I can’t carry the baton for the west coast people so if the first virtual rendezvous works out well - can someone do the same for east to west coast please?

Just for reference - those who are up for this, when you message me your email details can you also add your GMT+? Time zone? If there is enough west coast members I can hopefully prearrange a virtual rendezvous with an east coast member before? Otherwise it’s a post lunch rendezvous!

Will be nice to put a few names to faces after almost 8 years here - I’ve only met one other AOG member here in the U.K. although another one bought a boat through me and we’ve remained friends since!

Regards

Lee

I'm in. Why don't we just go with Teams so that we're not constrained by the Zoom 40-minute thing. Because you know that the first 15 minutes will be taken up with I can't hear you/I can't see you/can you hear me now stuff.

I'm available on 2/27 at noon. I've never done Teams but it looks similar to Zoom, which I do often. I'm on the west coast (GMT-8). My name is Leif Beiley and my email address is: yatdesign@aol.com

BTT

Only 5 of us so far - anymore takers as i will be sending invites out tomorrow via email?

[Tree]

Invites sent - please check your spam folders just in case they’ve slipped through!

[DCatSea]

Got it - thanks - look forward to tomorrow's meeting.
Please confirm time as 2000 Zulu.

[Tree]

Anymore - doors open in just over two hours!

[Tree]

Oh and for whatever reason, if something does go wrong at the start - please reply in this thread so we can rectify any issues!

Lee - Many thanks for hosting the First Albin Team-z-union. I enjoyed "meeting" other Albineers and look forward to doing it again in lieu of a Reality Reunion.

[Tree]

Thanks Doug. Thanks to Leith and Chris for popping along. Chris - I’m Uber jealous of the location!!! Perhaps the next one I’ll host from my boat!

I can see this working even when we can meet up with each other - it may be something to speed up those long winter nights!

Thanks for hosting this, it was a great idea. Nice to see some new faces even virtually.

Everything is better on the water:)
