National Village Halls Week March 16th – 22nd

During the Library Café on Monday March 16th, we will use our newly acquired laptop (see below) to address the theme of this year’s Village Halls Week, “Connecting Communities to Health & Wellbeing”.  Anna Dolphin from AbilityNet will join us again to show how to access and use the NHS app as well as other sources of reliable health information.

Old School: New Tech!
We are delighted to announce that following a successful bid to the Parish Council, the hall has received funding to purchase a new  laptop with essential software and lockable mobile storage to allow us to establish a permanent secure workstation in the hall. This setup will be available during Library Café opening hours for anyone wanting a bit of help to access the internet, particularly for health and government websites but also for general digital skill sharing.

We hope the new equipment will also help to revive the Local History group, enabling occasional illustrated talks and monthly meetings  for anyone wanting to access online resources to research family or local history and contribute to the Dallington History website https://dallingtonhistory.uk/.

Please get in touch with Pauline at dallingtonoldschool@gmail.com or 07702 104392 if you would be interested in any of these possibilities.
