Community organisations also interact with their members online.

The Royal Historical Society of Victoria (RHSV) held its AGM via Zoom.
The lockdown and restrictions as a result of COVID-19 have caused community organisations to rethink how they can still connect with members and provide services in a different way.
The RHSV Bookclub, held monthly, is now a Zoom Bookclub
The
podcasts of previous meetings have been available via the website for
sometime but with the lockdown these have been publicised more widely.
This
page on the RHSV website contains a range of ideas and activities that
people may like to investigate during the lockdown including turning
photos into jigsaws using Jigsaw Planet or trying some of the writing
exercises from the RHSV History Writers Group.
Community Group Activities
Computer programs such as FaceTime and Zoom and Skype
allow groups of people to interact online at one time. This is proving
to be an excellent way for groups of people to stay connected.
Due
to the lockdown, our local cricket club is holding its seniors
Presentation Night this year via Facebook. The coach, captains of the
teams, committee members and some life members etc have recorded their
part of the proceedings which will be included in the online
presentation at the end of the month.
Many groups are experimenting with ways to keep their participants
involved while in isolation.
Dance studios, including Studi-O Dance
School, are including online
dance demonstrations on their websites for students to practise.
Girl
Guides Victoria is using technology to run regular meetings of guide
groups via Zoom. and have also produced a series of Guiding in Your Pocket
guides showing activities that girls can try.
The
local cub / scouts group also meets via Zoom sessions.
A number of family
history research groups have also arranged online get togethers.
