Read MoreInformal Christmas meal at ROUGOL – 16th December
There might not be any room at the inn restaurant upstairs. With December being a busy month in popular restaurants, the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) tends not to arrange a formal speaker for its last meeting of the year. Instead, the group meets more informally, albeit still in line with the regular schedule. That meeting will therefore take place on Monday, 16th December, 2019, from around 7:45pm.

The 2019 RISC OS London Show took place on Saturday, 26th October – and once again (speaking as an exhibitor) seemed to be a buzzing, exciting show with plenty for the visitor to see and experience.

Read MoreElesar brings WiFi solution to RISC OS on the Pi
At the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) meeting last night, Elesar Ltd‘s Rob Sprowson was the guest speaker, there to reveal a mystery new product – and having done so, the HAT is out of the bag so to speak. The product in question is a Raspberry Pi HAT (which stands for Hardware Attached on Top, and is a standard format devised by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for add-on cards for their ARM-based card).

Wait, the London Show is on 26th October! What’s going on? If you read the London Show preview, you’ll notice that Adrian Lees is planning to launch a major new application, with no details available as yet about what it is – so the nature of that application is a mystery.

It takes place on Saturday, 26th October at the St Giles Hotel, Feltham – so I hope everyone has their travel (and if necessary hotel) arrangements made, and that the show will be busy with plenty of visitors.
