Top Tips For Getting The Best Out Of Zoom
- We prefer you join from a laptop or desktop computer where possible. However, you can join from a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. For the best user experience, it’s best to use a computer or laptop with a good sized screen.

Craig battled with cancer (and gave it a bloody good fight) but sady we lot him in late September, leaving a hole in our hearts.
