The
History of SeniorNet Motueka
The
club was first formed and incorporated as a charity in 1998.
Initially we used leased rooms in the old Motueka hospital
building and other premises. Then in 2005 SeniorNet Motueka moved
into its own brand new building. Our club is unique in owning its own
building as well as a suite of modern computers. Current
membership numbers around 310.
Activities
of SeniorNet Motueka
New
members are encouraged to take an introductory course in computing,
followed by starters’ courses in Word Processing, Email, and Files and
Folders. From
then on, they can choose whether to take more advanced courses or
perhaps pursue special interest subjects such as spreadsheets,
genealogy, website design or PowerPoint presentation. There are three
very active special interest groups in digital photography,
genealogy and Mac users. Club meetings with guest speakers are
held monthly, and
specialist workshops and open days for members are regularly held.
The
SeniorNet Federation
SeniorNet
Motueka is a member of the Federation of NZ SeniorNet Societies Inc,
and through this relationship, enjoys access to teaching resources
from other Senior net clubs and secures representation to government
departments. The Federation also has agreements with a number of businesses where you can get discounts as a SeniorNet member.
