Many meetings have started opening again but many are also staying online.
Many meetings have temporarily shut down but members are creating online/telephone meetings. If you would like to register one of these meetings please contact Chris at GSO by email at groupinformation@gsogb.org.uk or submit it online. A generically named email address would be useful.
As detailed on the Coronavirus news page and in emails to all Members in Service, we are updating the Meeting Finder with specifics of online meetings and this in some cases includes links to online providers offering Video and Audio meeting services. All Members should be particularly mindful of using their names and email addresses when starting and joining such meetings as often personally identifiable information is clearly visible when you log in or join.
