Course timetable
Term 1 2010
TERM 1 TIMETABLE (Feb 2 March 26)
We have re-established our former system of providing you with a timetable before each term. This allows our wide range of courses to be cycled through the various terms of the year. Look at the subjects listed and call Anne on 422 3728 to request a place, or come along to our Term 1 Open Day at 2.30 p.m. on January 18 at our Learning Centre. There continues to be a minimum requirement of two students for any one course. Course fees remain unchanged. Circumstances may require the Course Coordinator to alter the position of a course as requests are received and the schedule takes shape in the next 3 weeks.

Members' Meetings
As attendances have fallen to low levels the committee has decided to discontinue these meetings for 2010.
Help! Days
HELP! Days What are they?
Each term we provide members with the opportunity to informally meet with our tutors and technical team at no cost to share with us any computer-related problems. These can relate to the hardware (scanner/printers, monitors, etc), software, or even problems trying to save your work, or do your lessons. Often members use this time to understand what is on their laptop, or to seek advice on CD/DVD burning, Internet problems, or even which computer to buy - laptop or desktop; RAM capacity; installed programs; operating system; and price. No question is considered silly. So give us a try first. If you can begin to understand your problem it could save you big money, or at least your annual membership subscription!
NEXT HELP! Day is on January 25 at 2.30 pm Bring along those problems you can't find an answer to - If you bring your
Laptop to solve problems or difficulties, please ensure the battery is fully
charged, and bring your Power cord charging unit.
