We got together after doing a course on Computing for the Terrified; funded by ACL. We enjoyed the course so much we decided to continue to meet up after it finished to help each other learn about computers.

We been running since 2006 and love sharing ideas on how to use word or publisher. We are currently doing a CLAIT course which should hopefully help us continue our little club.

Anyone is welcome to pop along, and although we aren't experts we are friendly.
