April Public meeting CANCELLED Due to Covid-19 outbreak

[Gary.Colwell]

Hello All,
In light of the recommendation that the Ontario government has made concerning public meetings, we will be CANCELLING the April 2, 2020 meeting in the interest of the safety of our membership. This was not an easy decision, but one that is necessary. We will be monitoring this outbreak going forward to assess the May meeting and beyond.
Please stay safe in this time of uncertainty.

Gary Colwell
President Hamilton RASC

Good call Gary, don't think anyone will be surprised or upset.

Would you consider a virtual meeting? I could use my business gotomeeting if you have a speaker. Not sure but I think my account has a limit of 250 participants which should cover it.

Let me know if this is of interest.

Gary,

I've updated our Facebook page, the website and Twitter, notifying people that the meeting has been cancelled.

[Ed.Mizzi]

Chuck, I think that's a great idea. Maybe Gary will consider it and if we don't have a speaker, maybe people could have a chat session about anything astronomy related.

We should take note of the new Zoom training that is being offered by National, just for this very purpose. It will be interesting to see how well this works - but maybe not "totally well" (LOL) as it is still very nice to gather together once each month, at least.

David, I agree. I'm hoping to take in one of the Zoom training sessions on Thursday.
