This group now has 7 members with an average attendance of 5.  Currently we can handle more members.  Numbers continue to fluctuate as new members may join for specific needs and then leave when satisfied.  We now meet roughly monthly on Tuesday evenings from 7.30 - 9.00 pm in member's homes.

It’s a self-help group and we rely on the experience of fellow members, assistance from Google searches, YouTube videos and latterly Artificial Intelligence!  We focus on helping each other to maximise on the amazing potential of our smartphones, which in most cases has been under-utilised.  Why buy a smartphone for only phone calls and text messages?  Progression to digital banking via a smartphone has been noted.
