September - Michael Plex on his experience with the NBN

25/9/2018

 
​Michael Plex was a very popular and well received speaker at our September Meet and Mingle.  Michael spoke at some length about his experience with NBN and advised the group which speed would possibly suit them, as even with four teenagers in the house he did not find it necessary to buy the top speed.  At the time of Michael speaking NBN was available for connection in the Benalla West area and should be available in the Benalla East area shortly.  His experience of the NBN has been a positive one and something which we will all need to connect to if we wish to maintain a land-line.  Many members then asked questions to which Michael replied.  Many of our members already knew Michael as they had called on his expertise as an audio-visual technician and guru to help with computer problems.  

Michael took time from his very busy schedule to talk at Meet and Mingle and he received a well-earned round of applause at the 
finish.

Details of our guest speaker/s for October are still being finalized.  Keep an eye on the website for further information.

    Meet and Mingle

    At the beginning of each Meet and Mingle, news from the U3A Benalla Committee meeting held the previous week will be given to those attending.  This will be followed by a guest speaker who will talk for about 40 minutes on an interesting topic.  A cup of tea or coffee and a chat with the guest speaker and other members will complete the morning.   

    All members welcome.
