Wednesday 27 June, 4 July and 11 July, 10am to 12pm

Computer Skills for Beginners
Are you new to computing?
Never used a computer?
Confused by technology?
Do you want to set up an email account?
Do you want to be able to use the internet?
Do you need help with writing letters using a word processor?
We have set up a series of three workshops. The sessions will be driven by parents’ needs. It is likely that the first session will be quite formal training on getting started on the computer, with an emphasis on the internet and email. The second is likely to have some training, but also driven by attendees. The last week could be troubleshooting, and a chance to ask questions arising from previous sessions, or follow up after practising at home. You do not have to attend every session, although that would be ideal to get the most from this opportunity. Due to limited spaces, booking is essential.
Wimbledon Guild, Guild House, 30/32 Worple Road, Wimbledon, London SW19 4EF.
Tea/coffee provided (no lunch, as morning only events). Parking costs can be reimbursed.

Tuesday 3 July, 10am to 2.30pm (lunch included)

Janey Bell, Professional Trainer in Neuro-Linquistic Programming & Emotional Freedom Technique to help relaxation
