Sinclair Study Group

As you may be aware, there are a large number of Sinclair-Timex user groups around the U.S. and Canada. We have tried to get in contact with the by sending them our newsletter. Many have reciprocated. Recently, we asked if we could reprint some of their material. The overall response was “great.”

This month we spotlight the Sinclair Study Group, 16 Lewis Street, New Haven, CT 06513. The group produces a terrific monthly newsletter, yearly subscriptions to which are only $6.

SUE MAHONEY IS COMING!! This was the banner headline of the March issue. Below is Sue’s report of her visit.

A Children’s User Group by Sue Mahoney

The New Haven Sinclair Study Group is a unique user group in that the member’s ages range from 8 to 14 years old. Chris Baldwin, the adult leader, founded the group last year. Chris is a teacher in one of the alternative schools in Hew Haven. The study group, although it has females, is predominately male. It is a very enthusiast and energetic group. Each member has a project – some quite elaborate. One of the group’s first projects was to build the Sinclair ZX-81 kit. The youngest participant was only seven.

On my recent visit I demonstrated the T/S 2000. The group’s response was overwhelming enthusiasm and excitement. They were literally glued to the edges of their seats. They asked many, many questions. I look forward to meeting with them again. Chris indicated that anyone interested in starting a children’s group or becoming a children’s group sponsor should contact him.
