The Computer Club exists to share knowledge and help those people who are wishing to learn more about their computer/s.
A few of our group are keen enthusiasts with a lot of knowledge, but we find that everyone has something to contribute. In general, the first half of the meeting is often a presentation covering some aspect of computer use, either from a guest speaker or from within our own members, but our most valuable feature is the open session where we ask questions and share ideas.
Please note we do not offer one to one tuition, but we will all try and help you fix a problem. It is not unknown for one of our more experienced members to take over your computer at home to help solve any issues.
Bring your laptop, notebook or tablet as generally we try to make part of the session a practical session, note though that they should be charged up in readiness, as the number of plug sockets is limited (although we do have a pile of extension leads).


The Memorial Hall (where we meet) provide free internet access so you can get online if the session requires it. There is a boiler to make tea and coffee for our mid session break. We pay to use the hall, so consequently there is am annual charge to cover these fees. Currently we don't have spaces for more members, and our sister group "Computer Club 02" is currently 'Temporarily Inactive' as it needs a group Coordinator. If they get one (Might it be you?) They meet on the 1st Thursday of the month at the Tesco Community Room.
