Activities
On each month containing five weeks February thru October we hold a Social Get Together with soft drinks & nibbles followed by a social gathering where members can meet, chat with other members and tutors.
We endeavour to arrange for a guest speaker at this event, wherever possible covering various aspects of electronic devices and/or software, the presentation normally being followed by a questions and answers session.
At end of the year, normally in late November we hold our Christmas Lunch, where members can socialise and enjoy light entertainment and of course Christmas cheer.
Each member attending this function is provided with a free raffle ticket. The prizes are a range of gift baskets and other smaller gifts. Members are requested to provide a low cost present for gift baskets by leaving them at the Learning Centre during November.
We also endeavour to organise a mid winter lunch, which last year was held at the RSA in Whakatane in July.
