The Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club provides a friendly face for all things RISC OS in Yorkshire, the surrounding regions and beyond. Originally formed as the Wakefield BBC Micro User Group in 1983, it is one of the longest established RISC OS user groups and now has members all over the UK.
The group meets most months to look at subjects relating to RISC OS, publishes a monthly newsletter, The WROCC, and provides an online discussion group to keep its members informed. We used to organise the annual Wakefield RISC OS Computer Show.
For more information about the group, contact us or visit one of our meetings. You can find out more about RISC OS in our brief introduction to the operating system or discover new hints, tips and tricks in our RISC OS HowTo.

In the August 2026 issue, Mark Stephens reviews the July meeting presentation by Steve Revill of RISC OS Open with news on BBCBasic, LanManFS and the moonshot project. Chris Hall tells us What is in a Word file and converting it to an an Impression file. Peter Richmond asks Is it time to ditch Windows. While Richard Ashbery tells us about some useful software he has found. There is also a roundup of some new software releases and a useful hint and tip.
Older issues, and free samples for non-members, are available from the newsletter area
Andrew Rawnsley of RISC OS Developments will be simplifying and explaining how we can work together to move to 64bit, with the odd demo thrown in to try and make things clear and exciting. He will be explaining how the work involved in moving to 64bit need not stagnate progress on the 32bit OS - in fact quite the opposite.
Time permitting, Andrew may also cover a range of other topics.
