Members’ Forum – is now full, register to go on a waiting list

When: Friday 8th November, 2024

When: 12:30 – 2:00pm 

Where: Level 1 Anvil House, 138-140 Wakefield Street

Guest Speaker: Dave Armstrong

This is the fourth in this year’s Members Forum series

Dave is a well-known personality on the Wellington media scene, with his witty columns on Wellington and the political scene.

He will talk about his life as a columnist, with appropriate anecdotes, and also comment on the difference between being in print on paper, being on “free” Stuff and then being behind a paywall with The Post.

This promises to be a highlight to lighten up your year and finish this series of Members’ Forums with a smile and a laugh over a cup of tea or coffee.

As space is limited, please register here to ensure a seat for this free session.

Editing Holiday Photos, continued

These meetings are more suitable for those who want a deeper understanding of the applications available with your Mac or MacBook.

“I’ll be continuing with my Christchurch photos, as we haven’t yet finished editing or organising them into Folders and Albums. Next month, let’s focus on what else we can do with photos. Following the same format as our last meeting, we can all share advice on how best to approach this.”

These sessions are not formal, but an opportunity for interested people to converse together. I usually start with a 40 minute presentation, mixed with really interesting discussion, then coffee or tea. After that I will show ‘some interesting Mac stuff’. Bring your MacBook, or use our MacBook to follow me/us.


One to one help with your computer and device issues

When: Monday 10:00 – 12:00 pm or 12:30 – 2:30 pm (Except Public holidays)

Where:  Anvil House, 1st Floor 

Coordinator: Sandra Thorn

Our preference is to see you at Anvil House but we may be able to offer help Tuesday to Friday between the hours of 10am and 2.30pm, possibly at a different location, depending on the availability of tutors.
These options should be discussed with Sandra. 

The Help Centre tutors can assist current financial members who are new to technology or wish to improve their skills or are having problems with their portable devices. We offer ‘one on one’ assistance in a cheerful, friendly environment and while we don’t have all the answers we can usually point you in the right direction.
We can help with a number of devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, Apple Macs, iPads and Desktops.

Cost: $10.00 for up to 2 hours tuition (payment in cash please)
