The WROCC Vol 41 Issue 5 Out Now

The August 2023 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.

The issue looks both forward and back. We reflect on the past 40 years of the Club, on 28 years of service from an out-going committee member, and on what might have been if Acorn had only managed to capitalise on the game of Zarch back in 1987. Looking forward, Chris Hall continues his investigation into the Compute Module 4 with a project to create a ‘hatstand’ board for adding a real time clock and fan control, while there are also some hints for users wishing to Configure the Zap text editor for different filetypes.

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 £7.50 per year… and despite our name, there are no geographical restrictions.

The Wakefield Back Catalogue Issue 12

Relaunched following the completion of Volume 39 of The WROCC in April 2022, the twelfth 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.

The compilation contains around 430 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.
