Computing
Each Friday morning the Village Hall opens their Computer Cafe from 9am until noon. This is a drop-in cafe where you can bring all your computing problems and get a cup of coffee. We have five very friendly mentors with a combined wealth of experience covering a total of more than 130 years! So whether it's 'how do I download something' to 'help, my computer has stopped working' we will be able to solve it.
If you are experiencing problems on a laptop, tablet or smartphone please bring it in and let us help you. If you have a desktop computer you can of course bring that, although it may not be too easy - in which case, if we can't help you in the Computer Cafe one of our mentors will make a home visit for a small fee.
And we only charge £5 per hour with a capped charge of £10 per session for up to 3 hours. Oh, and did we mention the free refreshments? Contact Viv 07722 209848.
