Mr R P started the topic Website tech supervisor needed in the forum PPS Members Forum 3 years, 3 months ago
For the past few years, I have relied on an expert in ‘WordPress’ (the program used to set up this website). he is no longer involved in IT and so I’m looking for someone else to look after the ‘back office’ (ie, technical management) of the website – way beyond my IT skills. So, until i get that sorted out – or have an offer from a member -…[Read more]

Mr R P started the topic OCT PPS ONLINE MEETING – SAT, OCT 31st – 9pm SYDNEY TIME in the forum PPS Members Forum 3 years, 6 months ago
Hello All,
It’s been a while but here it is – our next online PPS meeting. The challenge for some will be the time difference with Oz. Now that we’re on daylight savings (and some in the northern hemisphere may have reverted back to standard time), you may find your local time to be a “bridge too far”. Of well, maybe next time…..
As before,…[Read more]

Mr R P started the topic Apologies for the abrupt finish to the Zoom meeting Sat Aug 15 in the forum PPS Members Forum 3 years, 8 months ago
For all those who logged in, apologies for the sudden end to the meeting. I should have said that you could simply log on again, using the same meeting details. My IT manager (!) scolded me for not doing that before the meeting timed out. And for all those who sent along material to show and missed out, we’ll hold over for the next session.

Mr R P started the topic NEXT ZOOM MEETING – SAT AUG 15 in the forum PPS Members Forum 3 years, 9 months ago

Mr R P started the topic Online PPS meeting – any interest? in the forum PPS Members Forum 3 years, 12 months ago
Not much interest in the offer of an online PPS meeting – not sure if that’s because members don’t have access to Zoom – or too busy writing up their collection while in lockdown – or……
Anyway, last call, so if anyone has any interest (as mentioned, date and time are just options for consideration) please reply or contact me directly on:…[Read more] -
