The Mendlesham Computer Club meets weekly to provide internet access and computer tuition for all ages and abilities. Many topics are covered in a very informal atmosphere. So whether you are an absolute beginner, returning to work, or a job seeker looking to enhance your I.T. skills, Mendlesham Computer Club is here to help and to bring fun to I.T.
Tuition is provided for those who need assistance. We have 3 Windows 11 laptops that are available for those without a computer of their own, thanks to a grant from Andrew Stringer's Suffolk County Counci Locality Budget. Those who bring their own laptops , smartphones and tablets will be able to use the Club's free wireless broadband connection.
Learn to use a computer, smartphone, tablet, and peripherals so that you will be able to write letters, write and print a CV, shop and bank online, search the Web, make video phone calls, search out (cheaper) prices online, use ‘comparison’ websites, download, edit and file photos, use email and social media, play games, improve office skills AND much more.
We meet on Thursdays between 10:00 and 12:00 in the Old School Room in Mendlesham. Our Risk Assessment can be found here. Please see below for what we will be covering in the next sessions.
Sessions cost £5.00 (your first visit is free) and we now accept contactless payments, refreshments are provided, and no membership is required.
We also provide a 'Crib sheet' of hints and tips to accompany our meetings, please click here for the latest (work in progress) version and here for a ZIP file of all of our documents, here for our previous agendas and here for some useful web sites.
Please note that the topics may slip down the order if they take longer than planned, and that the dates later in the year may well change with holidays, elections etc.
