Is a Virtual ‘Thon a possibility?

How much notice do people need?

I don't need a lot, I just need to spot the notification when I log in.

[Capybara]

Subscribe to the thread and you'll get that. Might be a good idea to stick it Backstage 'n'all.

Unfortunately Teams is a nightmare for me do to conflicts with my local use of Teams that I cannot figure out.

Is there going to be one of these before Xmas with us all in party hats and raising glasses of sherry (asks the man who has neither the digital technical capability nor understanding of how to actually set one up)?

[Felicity, I guess so]

But you have the hat and the sherry?

I'm open to hosting but tbh attendance was dropping off a cliff for whatever reason and it's a bit tedious - and dispiriting - to set a call up and then twiddle fingers for a couple of hours.

Maybe a different day to Saturday?

[WOM]

I’ll attend this.

[Satchmo Distel]

I can make it if it's before the 24th. Sunday might work better for people.

I know from my experience of hosting that it's hard in the first two hours, and that's when we'd have 9 or 10 people by 6 pm, not 5 or 6 in dribs and drabs so you'd never have a flow.

[Sporting]

Thanks. More comments and suggestions welcome.

[David Agnew]

I’d like to join in, and won’t set up many plans until nearer the time, but I might not have access to a working PC.

[Cal Alamein]

I'm good for the Dec. 23/24

[Sporting]

I can host this Saturday if anyone else is interested.

[Hot Pepsi]

I could stop in!

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

I'll be in, but as others have said, maybe make it a later start UTC wise? Maybe 9pm UTC? Strictly will just be finishing by then so GO can get on, too.

[Sporting]

I'll start at about 9pm Spanish time but anyone can join later.

Link later.

Hoping Tom Lockyer is okay will be my intro.

Is that 8 or 10 UTC? Or indeed 9?

[Sporting]

In half an hour but no hurry.

Any chance of attending got killed by the two lines of COVID this morning.

Any chance of attending got killed by the two lines of COVID this morning.

"Two lines of Covid" sounds like a modern update of "Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps".
