How does Third Age Computer Fun help improve quality of life?

Let's hear from our members...

'I am 71 years old (or young) - “who cares”.
I thought I was too old to learn about computers and scared in case I made a fool of myself.
All of the instructors have given their time so that I now have the opportunity to tell you that you can learn as I do (or thought I couldn’t do).

This has given me, and can also give you, a confidence in yourself to learn. Who said you couldn’t show an old dog how to do new tricks?

This is not true.

After retirement is not a place I wish to go back to! I can communicate with all my friends, family and grand-children by email and Skype.
You can learn everything from basic skills to learning new skills; all about holidays, taking photos, TV and radio on the internet. Health and much more information is available at just the touch of a button.

Want to join me? You, too, can overcome any obstacle that would have prevented you from asking. Can you do it? I say “yes”. At least give it a try. You owe yourself that much.' A.D.
-------------------------

'I am 64 years old and a retired maintenance engineer.

I had just been given a laptop and although I had worked with computers for 25 years I did not know how to use it for myself. My job in the N.H.S used computers to track and record jobs in and out of the maintenance system but other than that I knew nothing.

When the opportunity arose I started with Third Age Computer Fun and have enjoyed the learning.' G.O'B.
