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.

This month’s meeting is a follow-up to our previous two sessions regarding broadband changes and the ongoing transition to digital phone lines.
Chris Hughes will take a closer look at these two distinct sets of changes. Because they are occurring simultaneously but on completely different timetables, they have caused a great deal of confusion and misinformation across the internet.
With the deadline for switching off the old PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) fast approaching, Chris will explore the options available to users. In addition, he will examine the direct impact of this change on your broadband connections and detail the choices you have moving forward.
