Do I just use the Contact Us page?
Also, it says tht membership is free - is that correct? I had no idea that change had been made.
Yes - on the contacts page, on that first drop down there is membership secretary - I think that's what I used. I think things take a little while I haven't paid anything yet- I was hoping to be able to unlock the quanta library CD - but still waiting for a reply on that one.
I assume quanta membership is free - I have not paid anything, and you can download a lot of the back issues as pdf format - there is some useful info in there.
It’s not free if you want a printed copy of the magazine. I don’t know about the other membership levels. I think there may be more details in the PDF copies of the magazines.

QL, Falcon, Atari 520STFM, Atari 1040STE, more PC's than I care to count and an assortment of 8 bit micros (Sinclair and Acorn)(nearly forgot the Psion's)
Membership is now free for those willing to receive the magazine as a PDF file by email. Or you can still opt to pay for printed paper copies if you prefer.
The signup screen is the JOIN QUANTA item from the MEMBERS menu:
Thanks Dilwyn! Hah, hah - way too obvious now you mention it - I assumed the Members option was for existing members and must have discarded it without thinking.
I seem to remember it being said in another place that QUANTA was on hiatus due to COVID-19.
I dunno if any of the sub-groups are still active but there's no chance of anyone meeting-up with all the lockdowns etc.
(Also applies to committee meetings, AGM etc.)
(Anyone ever got a webcam to work with the QL ?)
Last issue of mag on the website is from 2016.
I picked up some from 2017 but not seen anything since - judging from other posts it was still going last year.
The bank balance in 2017 looked pretty healthy, so I doubt they've run out of money.
Is there enough happening to justify trying to get a bi-monthly e-zine going - nothing excessive, just a compilation of news, letters, pleas for help, product reviews, emulator stuff, programming etc.
(No i'm not volunteering - too long on a keyboard and RSI kicks in.)
