Our aim is to come to each new session having achieved something on our projects since the last session, however small.
Lots of challenges are being faced, not least the difficulties with the WiFi internet in the U3A meeting room. A family history group member was to start a recent session trialling a new ancestry.com account with us all watching via the overhead projected screen when the internet froze. It was unavailable for the remainder of the class. Members, ever patient and enterprising, set to using their phones and other methods to do as much as they could. Is it impact of the NBN works nearby? Are we in a black spot? Is it a combination? Divided into subgroups, we do not have more than 10 in each subgroup and the modem is supposed to cater for 20.
Don’t be surprised if you find us sitting as a group on the other side of town trialling the use of the U3A modem at the Royal Hotel or Golf Club next month!
Meeting times – 2nd and 4th Tuesdays: Family History 1.30 to 3 pm/Other Projects 3 to 4.30 pm; 4th Thursday 1 pm to 2.30 pm ‘E-Shed’.
