Latest news regarding Computer Advice
Computer Advice sessions have restarted in the Computer Room at the Scout & Guide HQ. Sessions will only be on Mondays for now. You don’t need to book before hand but would prefer it if you did. This would ensure that there is somebody there who could deal with your query. Telephone advice is still available.
Contact telephone numbers are published in the monthly e-news from time to time. You can phone anybody on the list, at any reasonable time. If no response, try another Helper. Alternatively email elearning@aughton-ormskirk-u3a.co.uk.
Queries should be limited to those connected with software – including computer / laptop / tablet /smartphone problems, digital photography issues, and, especially in these times, digital communication matters. (We are not able to deal with hardware problems.)
Computer Help in Normal Times
If you have a problem with your computer or you don’t know how to do something on it, and you need some advice, come along. If you have a laptop, tablet or smartphone, bring it along with you. We give personal one-to-one help on usage and problems including email and attachments, processing photos, security, computer networks, social networking etc.
No appointments are needed. But please check availability over holidays periods such as Christmas, Easter and Summer.
For more information (or if you would like to offer any help), please contact Willem Wiechers on 01695 573744 or email on elearning@aughton-ormskirk-u3a.co.uk.
