Does Your Group Need Help To Hold Meetings Online?
25th September 2020
Message From Alan Tait at Caithness Voluntary Group.
Sadly it seems that the Covid -19 restrictions are going to be with us by the looks of it over the winter
I know a lot of groups were in abeyance since March but were starting to think about getting activities going again. That is looking more difficult now. I realise that digital catch-ups are not suitable for many groups but I have recently heard of a local SWRI who are looking to move their meetings onto zoom which will enable them to meet up and hold their competitions as best they can and encourage their members to keep crafting over the winter.
If you are involved in a group that could make the move to digital and need some help to do that then please get in touch and we will happily work with you.
