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 December 2024, one of our members upgrades his Raspberry Pi 4 with a FHANTom from RISCOSbits. We investigate the modification of drawfiles programmatically, and look back at the show theatre presentations from April’s Wakefield Acorn & RISC OS Computer Show.
Older issues, and free samples for non-members, are available from the newsletter area
Using one of Elesar’s NIC designsas a case study, we’ll take a peep behind the curtain at the chocolatiers at work in Elesar’s product design kitchen - from concept, through prototype, to finding the right packaging.
We’ll also recap some of the features of CloudFS, connecting to Swiss based pCloud using the aforementioned NIC in a typical high stakes live demo.
Please note that this is the second Wednesday of the month.
