The WROCC Vol 41 Issue 11 Out Now

The slightly delayed¹ February 2024 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 weekend.

This issue contains an update on the 2024 Wakefield Acorn & RISC OS Computer Show, which will once again be returning to Bradford in late April. There’s an analysis of the software bundled with some modern current RISC OS systems, and details of the software used to create it, along with a round-up of some of the news from the software scene. One of our members recounts his experience of persuading Openreach to install full fibre on his estate, while another has a nostalgic look back at some ‘how to’ videos for programming games on the Acorn Electron.

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 13

Relaunched following the completion of Volume 40 of The WROCC in April 2023, the thirteenth 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 new compilation contains around 440 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.

¹ The Editor’s own preparations for attending the South West Show last month, along with following up on some of the items which came from the event, unfortunately had to take precedence over work on preparing the issue.
