MACS Virtual Events
Join us for workshops, quiz nights and more!
The virtual events were first created to keep our members entertained and connected during the Covid pandemic in 2020 and 2021. The events proved so popular with the MACS community that we knew they had to stick around for good! Please see below the list of upcoming events. All events and registration details are shared on the MACS Services and Events Facebook page. To join an event, simply click the relevant event under the 'Events' section of the Facebook page where you will find further details and a link to register, you will then be sent a link to attend. If you are not on social media or would like to discuss an event in further detail please don't hesitate to contact us on enquiries@macs.org.uk.
Would you like to host an event?
We like to give our members the opportunity to host these meetings to share their interests, offer a challenge and gain confidence. If you have any ideas for a meeting or would like to host one please do get in touch.
If you have any ideas for an event or you would like to iron out any technology or joining issues before any of our zoom meetings please let us know on enquiries@macs.org.uk. We can arrange a time that will fit in with your day.
Our events are free
The Zoom meetings are free and there for you to meet and keep in touch with others who are in a similar situation, with similar experiences and are a very supportive space. Details and links for these workshops will be advertised on the MACS Services and Events Facebook page. If you do not use Facebook and would like to come along, please contact enquiries@macs.org.uk for assistance.
Live captions are now available at all of our events.
