Do I just use the Contact Us page?
Also, it says tht membership is free - is that correct? I had no idea that change had been made.
Yes - on the contacts page, on that first drop down there is membership secretary - I think that's what I used. I think things take a little while I haven't paid anything yet- I was hoping to be able to unlock the quanta library CD - but still waiting for a reply on that one.
I assume quanta membership is free - I have not paid anything, and you can download a lot of the back issues as pdf format - there is some useful info in there.
It’s not free if you want a printed copy of the magazine. I don’t know about the other membership levels. I think there may be more details in the PDF copies of the magazines.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer in Somerset later in the year
QL, Falcon, Atari 520STFM, Atari 1040STE, more PC's than I care to count and an assortment of 8 bit micros (Sinclair and Acorn)(nearly forgot the Psion's)
Membership is now free for those willing to receive the magazine as a PDF file by email. Or you can still opt to pay for printed paper copies if you prefer.
The signup screen is the JOIN QUANTA item from the MEMBERS menu:
Thanks Dilwyn! Hah, hah - way too obvious now you mention it - I assumed the Members option was for existing members and must have discarded it without thinking.
I seem to remember it being said in another place that QUANTA was on hiatus due to COVID-19.
I dunno if any of the sub-groups are still active but there's no chance of anyone meeting-up with all the lockdowns etc.
(Also applies to committee meetings, AGM etc.)
(Anyone ever got a webcam to work with the QL ?)
Last issue of mag on the website is from 2016.
I picked up some from 2017 but not seen anything since - judging from other posts it was still going last year.
The bank balance in 2017 looked pretty healthy, so I doubt they've run out of money.
Is there enough happening to justify trying to get a bi-monthly e-zine going - nothing excessive, just a compilation of news, letters, pleas for help, product reviews, emulator stuff, programming etc.
(No i'm not volunteering - too long on a keyboard and RSI kicks in.)
