COMPUTER GROUP 

Aim

Programme

Finding us

Our meetings are aimed at encouraging both members and non members to use computers for their own Family History - they are open to all - and beginners are welcome. 

The main topic for the evening starts at 8 p.m. but we are there from 7 p.m. for general chat, helping to solve individual problems or demonstrating techniques such as data transfer or programs of interest to minorities. 

If you are a beginner and need advice or don't know where to start - don't be too shy to ask - we all had to start somewhere - and like genealogy its a continuous learning process.  

If you would like some help of this kind, or a specific demo, please contact the group organizer - Chris Willis - well beforehand to ensure the appropriate software will be available. 

Unless otherwise stated - meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at St.Mary's Church, Ash Vale Road, Ash Vale.   (see foot of this page for how to finding us ). 

As the main topic starts promptly at 20:00 - please allow time to park - book in - have a chat and to be seated. 


2007 PROGRAMME

NO COMPUTER GROUP MEETINGS ARE
CURRENTLY PLANNED FOR 2007


Jeanne Bunting and Chris Willis have stepped down having organized the Computer Group since 1991. They will me sorely missed by the many members have have gained knowledge over the ensuing years. Unfortunatly nobody has so far been willing to take over so meetings have been suspended.
If you are one of those who have gained from these meetings and would like to put something back - then step forward - your efforts will be appreciated. You don't need to be a computer expert - just have the confidence to demonstrate particular family history programs to people who have not seen them before - and to co-ordinate demonstrations by others.
