To bridge the gap
Whether you want to send simple emails or edit a video, there will be a gap between your current knowledge and the skills you need to achieve a good result and enjoy the process.
Our club logo carries the words “Bridging the gap” and our aim is to help you bridge your knowledge gap whether it’s small or large.

Computer Pals for Seniors Northern Beaches is a club which helps interested seniors use their computers more effectively. It is part of a popular and expanding network of similar computer clubs in Australia. The Northern Beaches club is a foundation member of the Australian Seniors Computer Clubs Association, (ASCCA) which was formed in 1998 to give these clubs a national voice.

Seniors have many reasons for wanting to become familiar with computers, particularly since they are used so widely in today's society. We can keep in touch with members of our family travelling anywhere in the world by e-mail or voice and video. We can manage our finances, do our banking, write our life histories and participate with our grandchildren who are using computers. The list is endless.

Computer Pals for Seniors is a non-profit organization run by seniors for seniors. All members of the committee, and the instructors, are volunteers and pay to belong to the Club. Membership is open to people over the age of 55 years who have retired from full time work but may still be working up to 20 hours per week. In special circumstances membership may be offered to other people if they apply to the Committee.

Tuition takes place at the Tramshed Arts and Community Centre Narrabeen in the main building of The Tramshed. The clubroom is open Monday and Tuesday from 9am to 4pm and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9am to 1pm.
The club is closed for general tuition during school holidays except for the Christmas period when we close for 4 weeks. Check the Clubroom or the website for details.
We do have special presentations and work shops during some of the holidays.
Tuition is mostly one to one so you can work at your own pace with no pressure to keep up with others.
We do, however, have some small group workshops and special interest groups: Corel with Win Nielsen on the 4th Wednesday every month and PrintMaster with Pat Kingham on the 3rd Saturday each month.

The Club's Constitution and By-Laws are available to members on request. If you'd like a copy, contact the Secretary.
