Though most of its members are in the greater Boston area, there is a sizable number of members around the U.S./Canada and beyond. The BCS Amiga group is one of fifty interest groups that meet regularly (usually monthly) to share experience, assist "newbies", and stay current with the developments in their respective areas. The BCS has recently moved its main office from Cambridge to Waltham, MA. I've been asked to announce its new location and to post the BCS Amiga Group's monthly schedule. Since this is MegaMeeting week, I'm posting information about that event also.
