Presenter: Bruce Ralph
Apple Applications on Mac
These meetings are more suitable for those who want a deeper understanding of the applications available with your Mac or MacBook.
Which Application is still to be confirmed – however can mention that it will be a different application each month
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.
Using Genealogy resources: practice sessions

Further practice sessions, using different resources, will be held on the first Tuesday of the month and there’ll be a limit of 8 people.
Help Centre
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.
Bookings are essential as places at each session are limited.
To ensure a tutor is available Sandra can be contacted either by clicking ‘Click to Book’ button or by phoning the office on (04) 473 1510 weekdays (except Wednesday) between the hours 10am and 12noon. Ask to speak to Sandra, the office staff will pass on the message and she will get back to you to arrange an appointment.
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)
