Although Zoom meetings are in many ways not as good as face-to-face, they do have many advantages, especially for participants who find travelling difficult, and for those who don't have access to this type of meeting locally. Since ADoRE has been on Zoom, we have built a widespread community with participants across the UK and also many other countries worldwide.
