Members of Brigg’s older generation needing help with using computers, particularly to send and receive email to family and friends and to access the internet, can take advantage of a new initiative.
SilverSurfers is a new local group founded by James Martin and Andrew Carty (both 20).
It will meet on Fridays at Methodist Church Hall, on Barnard Avenue, 7pm-9pm.
The first instalment session will be on Friday , May 29.
Each evening there will be two one-hour sessions, specialising in different skill levels.
Each session will cost £15, and everyone will get one-to-one tuition from an experienced and skilled computer user.
Those attending can take along their own laptops, while a limited number of machines will be available to reserve for the evening.
James said: “Many people will benefit from these computer lessons by being able to keep in touch with family members via email and social networking, as well as being able to complete their family trees online, and find old school friends.
“The internet is also the worlds biggest resource of information and entertainment, so SilverSurfers hopes to get anybody who’s interested connected with the world and each other.”
The organises are confident they can teach a beginner to get onto the computer, and browse the internet within just one or two sessions.
Free refreshments will be provided throughout the evening.
For more information, call James Martin on 07906 250 464.
