We Group Calendar

This term we are going to use a set of Tutorial CD´s that have been purchased from Group funds. Combined with a weekly calendar of lessons it should enable all members to follow the lessons at home and cover for any sessions that they have missed. A copy of the CD for Windows XP will be available for each member to install on their system and pass on or return. Sadly Windows 98 is not covered in this way but I will continue to support group members with this operating system.

Later we can progress using the same system to cover Word, Excel, Powerpoint or FrontPage
