Meeting Dates

Sessions are every three months or so, usually on a weekday lunchtime at around midday.

The dates for upcoming sessions are here, but the discussion material will be voted for in the meeting before. All additional material can be found in the relevant session information document.

An sign-up link will be sent out via Slack, as well as our mailing list so that we can keep attendance within a manageable number. We will meet on Microsoft Teams - please contact the organisers via email if you do not receive an invite.
