About
Dear Reader,
The St Wilfrids computer support group is intended to help both parishioners and local community to both solve their specific problems and also offer training on more general aspects of computer use.
It is intended for all age groups and all abilities.
The main meeting is to cover the specific issues and also provide training. However, if Monday evening doesn’t suit or you prefer a day time help, this is also possible. Please contact David who can coordinate the help you require.
The way this website is intended to develop will follow the trend of ;
- the blog [tab] will record short documents about a subject which may be something discussed at the Support Group meetings. Typically this will be a ‘recap’ of a discussion and will have links to other websites that have good information, already published, in that area.
- a link will appear on this [front] page to take you to a hierarchy of documents - perhaps organising the blog documents - but certainly capturing documents specific to working with the Church computer suite. I hope that, in time, this will build to become training material for the support group.
Regards
