A reminder that our monthly meetings are drop-in style meetings. You can attend as many sessions you want in order to gain solutions to your IT needs. There is no commitment to a long-term attendance. There is no upfront joining fee, just the £2 you pay at sessions you attend.
We will be having short presentations within the meeting on IT subjects such as Facebook, other social media platforms, online banking and any other subjects members would like to learn about. We will only have nine monthly meetings per year. We will not meet in July, August and September.
Lesley Wood will continue with the digitalising photos project for as long as the demand is there.
