Back in Auckland I used to be involved in assisting several of the SeniorNet clubs - which are clubs for over 55s who want to get more out of their computers. The self-help nature of these clubs meant that all the members had cheap access to short courses run by more 'PC-savy' club members as well as support.

I would be happy to assist in setting up something similar at the 'Heads if a group of people are interested in this idea. I am still in contact with several committee members from a couple of Auckland clubs who can provide paperwork/courses/ideas and text etc to make the process a little simpler.

For it be 'a goer' there would really have to be a secure venue available like a room in a club or similar so that computers could be left set up for courses etc.

If anyone is interested in the idea, please let me know firstly and I can put people in touch with each other or arrange a meeting at the club to discuss it further.
