The WROCC Vol 38 Issue 11 Out Now

The February 2021 issue of The WROCC – the newsletter of the Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club – is on its way out to members across the UK and beyond this week.

In Volume 38 Issue 11, we report on the virtual visit to the Club by Hilary and Matthew Phillips from Sine Nomine Software, and look at the software that they demonstrated. One of members considers why he still uses a RiscPC for some things, and there’s a look at an internet archive of electronic music magazines which feature pieces about the creative roles played by a range of old hardware including the BBC Micro. We continue our irregular series on BASIC graphics with a look at how to work with screen modes, and there’s also space to reveal the first details of April’s Wakefield Acorn & RISC OS Computer Show.

See https://www.wrocc.org.uk/newsletter for more details of recent issues, and to download samples of older issues.

Able to trace its roots directly back to the first Wakefield Club newsletter in April 1983, these days The WROCC is produced in an A5 booklet layout and copies are delivered free to WROCC members in PDF format. Membership of the Club costs £15 per year with a reduced rate of £7.50 for the first year… and despite our name, there are no geographical restrictions.

The Wakefield Back Catalogue Issue 10

Relaunched following the completion of Volume 37 of The WROCC in April 2020, the tenth edition of The Wakefield Back Catalogue contains PDF copies of the Club’s monthly newsletters going from The WROCC and Awake right back to the very first “hints & tips” sheet handed out at the April 1983 meeting.

Originally intended for release at the 2020 Wakefield Show, the new compilation contains around 408 issues and is available as a download in these more ‘virtual’ times. It costs £7.50 for non-members, whilst members can buy it for the discounted price of £5.00. See https://www.wrocc.org.uk/newsletter for more details.
