I just wanted to make a little suggestion for the GM's and members consideration. We are all facing unprecedented times of uncertainty and isolation and the one thing we all need more than anything is social connection and stability. I think it a very wise decision to suspend the hash for the foreseeable future but I wondered whether setting up a virtual catch up might help everyone in this challenging period. I'm sure some of you are familiar with Zoom, or have at least heard of it. It is an online platform that allows a group of people to meet remotely via video link (or phone if you don't have internet or a computer). Everyone could go out and do their run/walk if they want then meet online after for a drink and a chat after say at 7.30 on a Weds? Or whatever works! I set one up yesterday for a colleague/friend whose 50th birthday it was and we couldn't have drinks together... this gives you an idea of how it works... (ignore the photo of me... I was concerntrating on getting the screen shot 😉). <Gina's birthday zoom.JPG> Anyway, just an idea... happy to help set up if people are keen. Its super easy, everyone will just get an email with a link and click on the link at the time of the meeting and that's it! It will ask you to use the microphone and camera (if you have one) - just say yes. If you don't have a computer (or smartphone), you can dial in via phone (just call the phone number, and enter the meeting pin). OnOn!
