I did my first in-person lecture for 18 months last night to Beacon Camera Club (Malvern, Worcestershire). They ran it as a hybrid meeting with circa 25 people in the room and a further 20+ tuned in by Zoom. The Zoom feed was delivered by a small camera set up on a tripod and they used a mobile phone tethered to the club laptop for 4G internet connection. It all worked really well.
I know other clubs are considering this hybrid approach to ease back in to business as normal. If you’d like help setting it up I can put you in contact with Tony at Beacon, I’m sure he’d be happy to help.
For my part it was so good to be back on my feet & made me realise just how much I had missed it. I’m hoping more clubs return to over the next few months, we’ve all been locked away far too long :-(
