- What is DARC?
DARC is an informal but structured club for anyone interested in the
fascinating and diverse world of technology. From digital music to digital
cameras, Bluetooth to video, DVD and audio, computers to the internet and
right through to forensic science and air ambulances.
If you want to combine your interest in the appliance of science with a
social forum to hear about and discuss technology, you'll be interested in
DARC. Whether you're a beginner or at the top of your subject we'll make
you very welcome. DARC is run by members for members.
- What do we do?
We hold monthly meetings and attract interesting speakers. Many of our
members offer presentations themselves. Every meeting provides an
opportunity to learn (we have "experts" at every level) with lively discussions,
questions and exchange of ideas.

Our monthly newsletter provides information and keeps members up to date
with events, news and gizmos. Our members' e-mail forum is available for
views, discussion points and mutual help and support.
- Where do we meet?
St Alkmund's Church Hall, Duffield, nr Derby. Centrally convenient in
Derbyshire's Amber Valley for most of the East Midlands (Derbyshire,
Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire). Car parking is on site and free.
Monthly meetings take place on the second Monday of each month except
August, from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. After meetings there's always a popular trail
