This is a list of groups which are currently either just beginning, or are still under construction, or even at 'the idea stage'
---------------------------------------------------------
RUTechShy
A NEW GROUP IS BEING FORMED FOR DISCUSSION, INFORMATION SHARING AND POSSIBLE DEMONSTRATION, OF ALL MATTERS CONCERNING CONTEMPORARY DEVICES USED IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.
These would include computers, digital cameras and audio equipment. Examples are D.A.B radios, MP3 players, I-Pods, mobile phones, memory cards, flash drives, digital books (E-book readers), laptops, computer peripherals (e.g. mouses, keyboards, monitors etc) and many others.
All members would be invited to actively participate in the exchange and gathering of information and ideas. Much more time would be devoted to specifics, unlike RUTechShy workshops where so much detail was crammed into a limited period. Help would be given re picture (images) and music download – BRING YOUR LAPTOP/CAMERA/PHONE etc.
LOCATION - Middle floor, Emmanuel Church Hall, Weston Favell Centre.
Every first Tuesday of the month (may be increased if popular).
1330 to 1530 hours (1.30 to 3.30 p.m.). Possibility of continuing in library.
Tea, coffee etc at minimal cost (in form of donation to church).
It must be emphasised that this venue has many distinct advantages including the library where computers can be hired. They are FREE of charge on Fridays (subject to availability). Inexpensive computer tuition is occasionally offered by the library service. Technical magazines are available and books, C.D.’s and videos etc can be borrowed. There are cafés, restaurants, shops and services in the main centre. Bus stops (Numbers 1, 8 & 16 buses) are immediately outside the church hall door on the ground floor.
