The club concentrates on helping members to feel comfortable with their computers We show how to handle the most popular tasks and give a taste of how to do more We try to cater for the differing skill levels of our members In our first few meetings (starting in September) we aim to get beginners started and improvers progressing (Sshh!....These meetings also provide a bit of revision for everybody else!)

Penarth Computer Club You dont need to be a scientist

- But it helps if you are not alone!

Penarth Computer Club

.to learn about your computer

or

Laptop

and how to do what YOU want to do

The FRIENDLY Club

The Club started in 1992 by todays standards computers were still quite primitive, difficult to operate & slow Now they are cheaper but vastly more powerful they are smaller but do bigger tasks they are much, much faster and they can do a wider range of tasks

Penarth Computer Club

Some people (not a lot) want to know what goes on inside the magic box

We help where we can

The FRIENDLY Club

Many beginners are afraid the machine will blow up -

It wont!

Penarth Computer Club

So what could we do for you? Most new members start in September, a most suitable time to start We introduce you to the workings of the Club We give guidance on setting up your machine to LOOK good and BEHAVE well - for YOU We set out some golden rules, hints and tips to help you off to a flying start Demonstrations are often by senior members

The FRIENDLY Club

Members show how they use their computers for:

writing documents, sending e-mails creating cards and invitations address lists, including merging them with letters constructing spreadsheets to make calculations easy and accurate & drawing charts improving digital photographs & using effects slideshows of pictures (or slides like these!) drawings

and much more

Penarth Computer Club

We invite Guest Speakers to talk on a variety of topics of general interest including Family tree research Computer crime Defences against hacking and spying The future of communications Anti-virus protection measures ... and we try to respond to requests ....

The FRIENDLY Club

If you have particular areas of interest we hope that you will meet someone in the club with whom you can share that interest and develop it together

Penarth Computer Club

We try to reduce your worries if you have a problem

For example

The FRIENDLY Club

Take pictures to remind you how cables fit

It can be a great help!
