July Newsletter and Meetings

by

hi all!
members can access the July newsletter here, complete with a BUMPER “Bits and Pieces” from Peter Sealy.

What a busy month June turned into. We wanted everyone to join to show that  “members make the meeting” and you did just that and all the meetings were lively and interactive. A really good result.

We continue to grow in Port Mac, now over 50 members and with the local club running a huge Apple promotion – well who knows what will happen!

Canberra had a very successful ‘round table’ night, so much so that we’re doing it again PLUS our editor Santo has agreed to chair a ‘beginners table’ which – if the requests are any guidance – is going to be quite popular.

And the south coast had yet another of their energetic chat-fests with some new people and a load of Q&A. Always a great meeting there.

Enjoy,

regards

For the Canberra meeting we’ll have our guest presenter, Roger’s new insights into the iWork thanks to O’Reilly, Dave’s heading back to the bookshelf to remind us of the best sci-fi, and Santo discovering one the the excellent ’Take Control’ e-books – May could become the project month!

April Newsletter and Meeting

by

hi all!
April newsletter now available to members  here, with some enjoyable new articles and so a big thumbs UP! from me 🙂

A little later than he’d like but like all of us even our dedicated editor’s time gets squeezed too hard occasionally.

A few notes for all…

  1. “Members Make The Meeting”?? You bet! Coming to you in June! But I’m told it’s already started in Port with some enjoyable newbie presenters having a go on the weekend with great success.
  2. In Cbr Trev will be going over Photos on the iPad, but we’ve also had a few people asking about iTunes so I’ll do an informal round-table for iTunes in the main hall.
  3. Looks like Don (one of our Port members) is starting to enjoy his cartooning pursuit more and more. Well done Don! Keep them coming!
  4. And a thought for David Knowles…maybe you’d enjoy a visit to www.discogs.com? I’m guessing you’d have some vinyl records and Discogs has a great way for you to document/value your whole collection. Perfect gift for the avid record-keeper 🙂
  5. Don’t forget our discount code to O’reilly books for some of the best technical and ‘how-to’ books you can get (code in the newsletter).

Enjoy,

regards

March Newsletter

by

hi all!
time for your March newsletter (members can access it online  here).

A few notes for all…

  1. Have you checked out our software collection on the website yet??
  2. “Members Make The Meeting”?? You bet! Coming to you in June! See inside.
  3.  I’ll be in Port Mac on Saturday for another afternoon chock-full of info. With the interest we had from the Seniors Expo it could be a busy day!
  4. Port Mac had a big day out at the Seniors Expo. Canberra’s turn next. If you can help on the day then it’ll make a big difference. Please let Trevor know. See inside.
  5. Some welcomed variety for our Canberra meeting on Tuesday with Geoff Alves showing all you need to know about travelling with your iDevice. Should be an excellent session. And Tristan taking for Mac Basics.Enjoy,

    regards
