Bristol Wireless are running some free training courses in Saint Werburgh’s community centre:

On 29th November 2007 we will be running a beginners’ training course from 7pm – 9pm at St. Werburghs Community Centre, Horley Road, St. Werburghs. The course will cover logging in and out, the desktop, the file system, word processing, setting up and using web based email and surfing the World Wide Web. Bristol Wireless members will be on hand to offer friendly advice and get you confidently using a machine and enjoying the internet even if you’ve never used either before.

If you are interested in booking or know someone who may be interested, or even if you require further information, please ring Bristol Wireless on 0117 3250067 or contact us here.

Knowing them, this will be working on re-conditioned computers running a linux distro, so it’s all open source and recycled. If you don’t know them, it’s a great outfit and I highly reccomend you get to know them.

This is a new wave of good works from the entirely voluntary crew who brought free wireless access to the internet to the whole of Bristol City for almost no money (along with their partners).

Good work all! Keep it up!

And if you have an old PC knocking around, their partners Byteback will take it, strip it clean and recycle it in a useful and worldly manner.
