The Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club provides a friendly face for all things RISC OS in Yorkshire, the surrounding regions and beyond. Originally formed as the Wakefield BBC Micro User Group in 1983, it is one of the longest established RISC OS user groups and now has members all over the UK.
The group meets most months to look at subjects relating to RISC OS, publishes a monthly newsletter, The WROCC, and provides an online discussion group to keep its members informed. We also organise the annual Wakefield RISC OS Computer Show, which is now firmly established in the platform’s calendar.
For more information about the group, contact us or visit one of our meetings. You can find out more about RISC OS in our brief introduction to the operating system or discover new hints, tips and tricks in our RISC OS HowTo.

In March 2023, Chris Hall updates the NVMe series with a summary of the available drivers and what to do for a machine that ‘just works’, while another member describes their use of CashBook for managing an association’s finances. We look at the release of a pair of new games for the platform, a collection of desktop enhancements and a number of other new software releases. Finally there’s a summary of the events at WROCC’s 2025 AGM, and a look back at RISC OS news from around the time of the release of RISC OS 2.
Older issues, and free samples for non-members, are available from the newsletter area
Graeme Shrimpton will be demonstrating his TWimp module, which makes writing WIMP applications easy.
TWimp lets you use simple text in English to describe how you want your windows, icons and menus to be created or updated. This allows a quick and simple way to create applications for RISC OS.
Graeme will be presenting how to build an application from scratch. The demonstration will be in BASIC although you can use this module with any language that supports SWI calls.
This will be the first presentation since its release, and will also answer some of the questions that Graeme has been sent by people who are using the product.
This product, including a demo, is available at www.ro32.co.uk
