Local Networks: Shetland Isles

Welcome to the Shetland Isles Network

Please note that due to the Coronavirus the meeting planned for Monday 23rd March has been postponed to Monday 21st September 2020. If the situation does not settle by this time we shall change the face to face meeting to an online meeting using Zoom. Zoom is a video conferencing tool which is very easy to use at home on your own laptop/computer. Denise will ensure that those who don’t have online access will be able to join the meeting online at the venue.

Hopefully we shall be able to return and catch up face to face. Any questions please contact Denise or Alison.
