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
A two part talk by Chris Johns covering two aspects of RISC OS file storage.
Part 1 - Filecore: Know the score
A look into the format that has been the RISC OS disc standard since, forever.
Has the map left you lost, the fragments left you frazzled and the LFAU left you confused? All should (hopefully) be explained. It would be a SIN to miss it.
Part 2 - BlockDevices
A look at the workings of the BlockDevices system, an attempt to modernise and modularise disc access.
Why it was created, what it does, how it works, and what can be done with it and what the future might look like.
