DigiPals

DigiPals is our group interested in digital photography – using whatever type of camera you have (DSLR or phone camera) and editing, and storing your photos. We meet on the 3rd Monday monthly (during school term) from 1:00 to 2:30 pm at Club Lambton. Emails will be sent to financial members prior to the meeting advising the topic to be dealt with on the day and maybe directions if we have decided to have a day out taking photos at some other place.

Communicate with us by email at contact@computerpals.org.au. or phone 0478 219 220 (this will most likely go to voicemail – we are all volunteers and the phone is not ‘manned’ all the time) and leave your name, number, and your the matter you wish to discuss and we’ll get back to you, alternatively send us an email.

 MemoryPals –

our Group for those interested in preserving their memories

Memorypals meet on the 1st Monday monthly (during school term) from 1:00 to 2:30 pm at Club Lambton.

We all have treasured memories, items and photos from our younger days, even some from earlier generations.

If those items don’t have a story and are identified as being important there is a real risk they will be ‘binned’ and lost forever after you have gone.

Future generations will be the poorer for their loss.

Our group is very social and discusses these ‘things’ over a cuppa and we help each other in looking at ways to preserve them.

Often a formal class needs to be run – to learn how to scan documents and photos, negatives and slides; or making movies (videos); or using Publisher or Word to write a story or make a book; or making a photo book, calendar, photo canvas, just to name a few. All of which can be organised through Computerpals and you can learn how with our help. 

Memorypals dovetails nicely with Writerpals if you want to expand your writing of some of those fun memories.

WriterPals – Our Creative Writing Group

We meet on the 2nd Monday monthly (during school term) from 1:00 to 2:30 pm at Club Lambton.

Everybody has a story to tell…Our next Writerpals meeting
will be on February 14th.
For that meeting, how about going back to school-day style and sharing some stories about Christmas from your childhood, back when Christmas was more family-oriented and less of the opulent gift-giving.
Try jotting down a short story from your Christmas past, no matter how distant.
Give writing a go…you don’t even have to tell anyone…just try!
I know I’m looking forward to catching up with some of your ideas.
