President Dick conducts the club meeting which is the first order of afternoon business, keeping members informed of club news and items of special interest.

Members listen as Special Interest Group leaders announce their topics for the day. Around 20 SIG sessions are held on a typical meeting day.

Each meeting features a guest presenter, here Anthony Caruana from Gestalt Communications. Apple sales engineers also appear regularly.

The Mac OS X Basics Special Interest Group is typical of those larger groups that use the auditorium for their presentations.

'Beginners' one-to-one' sessions have proved very popular, and are evolving into help sessions for various levels of users.

A member checks out books from the large selection of up-to-date publications available from the Librarian at each meeting.

The club store at an AUSOM meeting is a busy place, handling memberships as well as sales of shareware and Apple Update CDs, and general enquiries.

Genealogy is an interest shared by many AUSOM members. Here member Kate makes a presentation to the Genealogy SIG.
