Elk Elektroniks Workshop Meeting, Sat, 21st May 2022

 It's been too long since the last meeting.
Covid virtually shut everything down last year but Australia is tentatively returning to normality.

They call this the "New Normal".

Anyway, facemasks and check-ins seem to be a thing of the past ... let's hope so.



This is the first Elk Elekroniks meeting in a long while. I understand the plan is to hold one every 2 months.

So the next will be in July, 2022.
