March 2016 Newsletter
So Eggcited? Goodness me, here l am writing your March Newsletter and we have already reached our half term break for Easter. This mirrors the school's half term with the last day for us being Thursday 24th March and recommencement, Monday 11th April. Underwhelmed I am sorry to report that whilst we thought that Basic Computing would again be up and running it has been unsaddled by a level of demand below viable levels. Members wishing to pursue this might contact Southport U3A to see if they can obtain a place on their courses. Overwhelmed? By contrast the number of members wishing to attend an iPad course has now reached a staggering 45 and thought is being given as to how to give everyone a a chance of doing so over the coming year. Your patience is called for. "Our patience will achieve more than our force. " - Edmund Burke Linda Crittenden is looking for people who are comfortable and confident with the iPad and who would be happy, with extra training from Linda, to deliver courses in addition to her own. Anyone interested in helping in this way should contact Linda at -linda_crittenden@yahoo.com. |
