Dear ANVIL Associate and other friends
Regular ANVIL member Greg Atkins who is an emeritus professor of virology is on our programme to speak about “The Danger Posed by Emerging Virus infections ” which we planned before Covid -19 broke upon us. We now would like him to speak on Wednesday 10th June at 3 p.m. on what will need to be a Zoom session. Greg also runs a U3A group in Martock and has been running it using ZOOM since the lock-down.
He has now kindly invited me to speak and introduce Buddhism to that group and you are all invited to sign up for Zoom which is free if you have not done so already and log on to the session next Tuesday 28th April at 3 p.m. This should then work as a good trial run for future ANVIL sessions which we could have on ZOOM. Below is Greg’s invitation.
Gregory Atkins is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

You will notice there are two sessions, one at 3pm, one at 4pm. This is because ZOOM runs free for 45minutes. Longer sessions are quite expensive, so Greg has a break with a second session starting at 4 pm.
I do hope you will give it a try. All that should be needed is a single click on the long meeting code above. Zoom then comes up on your screen and you follow a few hopefully simple instructions (I have found they are simple so far.) Do not click earlier than one minute before the scheduled start please.
If Buddhism is new to you you might like to visit www.johnbaxter.org and on World Views read The Buddha Way. Its not long. Always happy to chat on the phone. 01963 34537 or mo 07403616145.
Best wishes,
John
Also had a good catch-up call with RH
