The Computer Group

The Computer Group meets at the Adult Education Centre, Cokayne Avenue, Ashbourne usually on alternate Mondays 9.30 am - 11.30 am.

Our next meetings this term will be on Mondays 6th & 27th February at 9.30 am at the Adult Education Centre, Cokayne Avenue.
We will continue (for the time being) to work as 2 smaller sub groups
1. Learning desk top publishing using the PagePlus program.
2. Exploring the essentials of databases in MS Access.
However this will change later in the year to focus on other topics.

So if you wish to be involved whether you
                          · Are a relative beginner at using a computer
                          · Are a experienced JavaScript programmer and would like to pass on your skills
then you are welcome as either a new or existing member of the group.

Any queries, suggestions or problems please contact either Jim Hudson 345629 or Vic Needham 345142

However we are not restricted to the above topics;  do you have a computer that you would like to make more use of ?  If so why not come along and see if we can help you learn new techniques or overcome the problems you are encountering.  In the spirit of the U3A  " Share what you know - learn what you don't ".

For more details please contact Vic Needham.

If you feel you would benefit from attending more formal tuition in the use of computers then the DCC Adult Education courses guide is now out.   Pick up a copy at the Library or Adult Education Centre (both on Cokayne Avenue).   For Sept 2011 there are 15 different classes / courses at Ashbourne ranging from absolute beginners to more advanced level 2. Individual subjects are also catered for and include digital cameras, email and web page design.    See our Local Links page for more contact details.
