To promote social separation, but also keep the forum spirit alive: I propose hosting a vitual GTG via “zoom” online platform.
prerequisites
a computer or mobile device with audio and visual capabilities.
a willingness to share thoughts and musing on watches
maybe a couple of beers on hand
Who would be up for it?
Martyn

Definitely doable
You should have been there last night OP - the first virtual McrGTG via zoom! (See thread in the G&D).
It worked well, and was a good laugh.
Count me in for future events.
Indeed!.Originally Posted by Kirk280
Worked well, bit of light relief and and great laughs in stressful times!
Up for it.

I can’t join you guys at this time but think it’s a great idea to alleviate the current status quo. Hope it goes well
Hi Martyn, this is a great idea.
Have you got a full zoom license?
Just checking as I think you only get 40mins if you’’re on the free version and there’’s more than two participants in your conference.

I have a free license and it works perfectly.
For free you get 40mins limit if there are three or more people joined - a limit of 100 can join the call. But on todays meeting zoom kindly removed the 40min limit for free anyway and we stayed online for a little over one hour.
Worst case - you can just stop / start the same meeting for 45min calls - which allows for comfort breaks!
Martyn - can you say a bit more about how Zoom removed the time cap - did you know about it in advance or was it an unexpected bonus?
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
It was unexpected bonus during the call - I had a pop-up message saying time limit had been removed.
Well I really enjoyed that Gents. It would be good to capture everyone’s usernames on this thread to aid my shocking memory!
Ps. Thanks for organising Martyn.
Pps. It was almost 2 hours!
Thanks Martyn, very enjoyable all.
Enjoyed that, thanks for organising Martyn.

Tired today!
Thanks for arranging again, chaps. Always good fun!
Always foggy on the following morning, no idea why?
Is there another one of these planned yet? Maybe next Thursday? 23rd?

One planned every two weeks for the forceable - anyone is welcome - it’s been good so far - next on 23rd (next week)
Topic for 23rd has already been suggested: “bring along / share an un-usual watch” can be any price bracket. Of course we can have any thing else - it’s not a formal group!
I’ll try and do screen grab to share - if that’s acceptable to everyone on the call.
Until then. Happy Thursday!!

Despite being a bit if a technophobe I’m hoping to give this a try.
We spoke to soon about Zoom not cutting us off. Great to meet you all and looking forward to the next one.
