Just a quick update. The group had it's first Zoom meeting on Tuesday December 17th at 8pm CST. There were 9 participants; the meeting was a round-robin "please introduce yourself" style meeting. There were attendees from each timezone in North America, and the attendees represented a wide range of narrow gauge interests.
It would be beneficial to have some way for people who want to participate to be able to indicate their availability before a time and date have been chosen for a meeting. If anyone has a suggestion for this type calendar scheduling option, I would be appreciative.
Thanks!

That's good to hear Vern. I've done meeting schedule polls, but I've forgotten which software I used. It might have been Doodle or Survey Monkey. There seem to be quite a lot of them available now. I see Zoom has one itself, but don't know how well it copes with time zones.

My Morris Dance side uses an app called "Band"
(I have a hate-hate reelationship with it, myself, but as everyone else is OK, I go with the flow...)
Thanks Hugh!
I will take a peek at that one also.
