Event Reports
2410ARB: National Memorial Arboretum, 31 October 2024
17 members enjoyed a moving day at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas. The visit started with coffee and biscuits in the visitor centre. Some members then attended the daily memorial service in the chapel before the whole party took the Land Train tour of the arboreum, viewing many of the memorials. After the tour there was the opportunity to explore the arboretum further and take a closer look at some of the memorials seen from the Land Train. The visit finished with lunch in the restaurant.

The IBM Tech Club meets using the Zoom video conferencing platform at 11.00 on the third Friday of each month. The club is a place where you can talk to IBM folk about matters technical. For example, help or advice on buying or using computers, smart phones,touch pads; engineering, electronics, wifi, bluetooth, cryptography, bitcoin, using computers to making movies, songs or musical works, best software, streaming, the internet, photography, diy, and anything else about the modern world you would like to understand better.
Apart from the technical discussion we try to have a talk by a club member at each meeting. This depends very much on members volunteering to prepare and show something they are interested in.
At 11 o’clock on the day of the meeting click on the link below. It should take you straight into the meeting.
