“ If you have never tried using a computer before, just come along and I will be only too glad to share my small amount of knowledge with you to get you started. You would be surprised how much you can do very easily and quickly: and there is absolutely no danger of damaging the machines - they have been fool-proofed by the Council for public use.
Please give me a call to say that you would like to come along.”
William Sellwood
