Getting to Grips with Technology
- Details
- Modified: 30 August 2017
A new group started in December 2015 to assist U3A members with their Technological devices. The group aims to provide members with “hands-on” help needed to understand, purchase and use Technology in common use both now and in the future. The list of Technology devices is endless, but the group hopes to provide assistance in areas requested by the group members.
Meetings take place on the first Friday of the Month between 10am – 12pm, at Franche Community Church, Chestnut Grove, Kidderminster, DY11 5QA. See Map
