Local Groups

North American Local Groups:

Many of members get together in local or regoinal groups on occasion to share skills etc. Some of these groups meet frequently, some not. If you would like to meet with others in your area we would like to encourage this by making available links to the local groups' sites. If you are interested in starting a local group, feel free to seek advice from one of the people that has been involved in starting a local group. It only takes a few people to have a productive gathering so don't feel that you need to assemble a crowd to have a meaningful and productive event. If you have a local group meeting and are NOT listed here, please contact the webmaster and we will post your information. Some of the activities and public outreach of the groups are highlighted on their sites. -

IGKT - NAB - Mid Atlantic Region

Dear Branch Representitives,

The IGKT web-site at igkt.net is now equipped with a 'Chat Room' - IGKT Knot Chat - which has taken over from the room that Dan Callanhan (Alaska - USA) has provided for members up until now. There are two regular sessions in existence - one on Wednesday Evenings GMT/UTC (Knoopenpraat) for the Dutch members and one all day Sundays which is world-wide - where IGKT members get together and talk knots (among other things) and keep abreast of what is going on. It also gives members (especially those outside the UK) the chance to talk to a Council Member. This new site is open 24/7 - so I would like to encourage Branches to use this facility, perhaps to hold Branch e-Meetings say once a week or month on a regular basis, so that those members who want to keep in touch with others and have a chat can do so. I will post a 'meeting schedule' on the web page and 'reserve' for any branch that would like to use this facility a 'date/day/time' slot which will be theirs - please discuss this with your members and let me know your preferred schedule as soon as possible. The whole of Sunday GMT/UTC is reserved for 'Worldwide open chat' for all members and Wednesday 1700 to 2359 GMT is reserved for the Dutch Branch. Otherwise, first come first served.

If you would like to discuss this further, send me an email < Librarian@igkt.net > giving me a date and time between 0700 and 2300 GMT please and I will meet you in the Chat Room. Just go to the IGKT web page < www.igkt.net > and click on the link
