Computer Group
The Computer Group runs a meetings programme covering different computer devices (laptop,
desktop, smartphone, and tablet) and operating systems including Windows 10/11, Android,
and Apple. We meet in the Village Centre Chilton Room on the 1st Friday of each month from 2.30pm to 4.00pm.
We have configured basic training for U3A members who possess a computer device but are unable to use it effectively (New Users) or are using a computer but want to know how to become more proficient (Improvers). Our Spring and Summer 2024 meetings programme from January to July 2024 will comprise 7 sessions which will
be devoted to delivering topics suitable for New Users and Improvers.
The programme for these meetings is given below (updated 5th March 2024).
| Meeting Date | Subjects covered | Presenters (tutors) |

These sessions are aimed at helping New Users and Improvers. The
sessions will be tutored by the more experienced (Advanced) members of the Group.If these prove successful, we shall continue to run similar sessions on further topics during our Autumn and Winter 2024 meetings programme.
