Sub-groups were formed as a method to provide local meeting places for QL members. Sub-groups provided places for and often hosted workshops and computer shows. Currently there are eight subgroups in the UK. There are no official subgroups in Europe or the North Americas at this time, although QUANTA maintains strong links with individual QL members in these countries.

Any group that wishes to be affiliated with QUANTA should contact the Chairman. Affiliation would include information in the QUANTA magazine and on the website.

Current Subgroups are:-

• The West Midlands QL User Group

  There has been a change of venue, brought about by the owners of the Queens Head pub changing it from a straight pub into an eatery. The new meeting place is called the Bull, the address is 1 Price Street, Birmingham, B4 6JU. Approx 7 minutes walk from Snow Hill main-line railway station and has ample street parking nearby. Meetings remain open to QUANTA members and non-members alike.
  After your first meeting you’re expected to pay £1 each time towards the organisation and monthly newsletter costs – except once a year when the group pays all those who attend £2 instead
  We provide food twice a year for those who attend the AGM and the group’s birthday party and at meetings we discuss all sorts of things, QL-related and otherwise, usually from about 8:20pm onwards till 10:30 or later. The group owns QL hardware, a disk library and subscribes to relevant magazines. People can join the mailing list for £3.50 per year, even if they can’t attend regularly.
  Meetings: Meetings are usually on the first and third Monday of each month (but not on bank holidays unless the previous one was cancelled for that reason).
  Contact: The contact number remains Mike Bedford White’s, on 0121 605 4438, anytime after 11am.
