Classes run on Tuesday afternoon (13:30-15:00) or Wednesday mornings (10:00-11:30). Choose one of these for your 5-week programme.
Tutor, Greg, aims to start each session 'on-the-dot' so members usually arrive at Clarborough Village Hall around 10 minutes before lessons are scheduled to start.
Members can either bring their own Windows 10 laptop or use one of our IT Group's laptops. Please let us know which you'd prefer when enroling.

Class/Course Details
Classes start with a 'Gardeners' Question Time' which allows members to drive sessions in their own preferred directions.
We start with getting-to-know-your-keyboard and then explore such topics as keyboard skills/document creations, file system and file saving before moving onto the online scene. Personal security comes high on our guidance programme before looking at the topic of e-mails and attachments (adding them and downloading them).
We also have considerable experience in getting members into the use of spreadsheets and also presentation (Powerpoint-like) applications.
At least one worksheet is provided for each session - and sometimes several - so a folder for filing makes sense. We also recommend members bring a notepad and pen or pencil since however well constructed our worksheets might be, you can bet that someone in the group will have a shortcut to recommend or something else will be discovered by everyone! A flash drive/memory stick is also a useful addition - particularly if you'd like to take home items for your desktop PC.
Further Details
Clarborough Village Hall's (DN22 9LN) entrance is directly opposite the Kings Arms pub on Main Street, Clarborough (the A620 heading towards Gainsborough). The Hall iteself is set well back from the road so can be easily missed when passing by. The driveway is well signed for the large car park at the rear of the building.
The Hall is a single level, easy access building making access easy even for those with mobility issues.
