[Posted on behalf of Dallington Old School Village Hall committee]
Even experienced users can sometimes find technology – smart phones, tablets, laptops, PCs and the internet in general – more frustrating than helpful. Or you may be unaware of some recent developments that could make your life easier.
So we’re delighted to announce that Anna Dolphin from Ability Net will be joining us at the Library Café in the Old School Village Hall on Monday 13th October at 2.00 for an informal session exploring the possibilities of what your phone, tablet, or computer can do for you — from practical tips to fun features.
Come and enjoy a cup of tea and find out how your technology could work better and more safely for you—whether it’s staying in touch with loved ones, exploring hobbies, accessing NHS and government services or shopping online.
Anna will also be joining us again on Monday 10th November on the theme of Staying Safe with Technology – a relaxed and supportive session where we’ll look at ways to stay safe online. We’ll share tips for shopping securely, spotting scams, and protecting your personal information — all in a friendly, no-jargon environment.
Please note that the library will be open as usual on these dates if you just want to browse the books.
Every Monday:
Art Club 10-12 Library Cafe 2-4
March 17th – 23th is National Village Halls Week
This year’s theme is all about celebrating, encouraging and supporting the volunteers who keep these important rural community buildings open. So do come along to the Library Café on Monday 17th (or any other week) to enjoy some cakes and company, and find out whether you might like to help – even just an occasional hour would be appreciated.
Coming up this month:
Our regular “First Saturday” community Library Cafe (with apologies for the unplanned cancellation last month).
This month, we are once again offering bacon sandwiches as well as the usual tea, coffee and biscuits!
Every Monday:
All local residents are warmly invited to hear updates from the current committee, help elect any new trustees and discuss plans for the next year. We would really welcome your suggestions for new groups and activities – particularly for and by younger residents – as well as one-off events and talks.
Apologies for another reminder but it’s come to my notice that the incorrect time was shown on one of the pages of the Messenger Magazine – so this is the correct information again:
In Dallington, local expert Doug Edworthy (Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society) will be giving a talk about the wonders of the stars and the impact of light pollution on nature, people and the sky . This will take place at Dallington Old School Village Hall on Saturday 2nd November at 7.30. That is the weekend of the new moon, which means it will be particularly dark so we may be able to enjoy the skies on the way to and from the hall.
