Agewell Computer Club program.

This month / Next month / Keep in touch.

Agewell Computer Club at The Lawns computer centre.

Our regular weekly sessions are on Monday and Tuesday afternoons.

  1. Monday ‘Agewell Social Network’ (2 to 5 pm).
    Social and learning activities for beginners, absolute beginners, and anyone who thinks that being sociable is more interesting than being digital.
  2. Tuesday ‘Agewell Community Computing’ (2 to 5 pm).
    Workshops and short courses on topics which our members have requested.
    Please look in the Workshop topic list for more information.

Our program for February 2012.

Most of these activities take place in the teaching area. The front area will be available for drop-in by people who have registered with Agewell in Hackney.

Tuesday Community Computing.

Teaching area: ‘Email Essentials with Henry’ course (2:30 to 5 pm).

Front area: drop-in for Agewell members. Because the course in the teaching area is full, the only drop-in space will be in the front area. Consider coming to the Monday Agewell Computer Club instead.

7 February.
14 February.
  • Email Essentials with Henry (2:30 to 5 pm).
21 February.
  • Email Essentials with Henry (2:30 to 5 pm).
28 February.
  • Email Essentials with Henry (2:30 to 5 pm) -
    Course ends.

Tuesday drop-in policy.

As the email course is full, the only space available on Tuesday afternoons is in the front area. If (as we expect) demand is high, we may have to ration the computers.

Here is the Tuesday rationing principle …
  • Only new learners and beginners can actually reserve a drop-in computer.
  • New learners and beginners will always have priority.
  • It is very unlikely that we will have spare space for anyone who is not eligible for other Agewell in Hackney services (pre-retirement Hackney residents aged 50 to 65).

It’s going to be like that at least until Tuesday 6 March.

Too soon to say.
