History

The Chapel was built in 1882 by John Corfield, grandfather of the David Corfield who, up until recently, farmed in Belton Road, Whitchurch.

We run short courses for complete beginners.   We show you how to switch on and make your first click.  You will learn to use a keyboard, cut and paste, insert images into documents, use email and explore the internet.  You will be able to register for Go-on, a UK online training programme, which will help you continue to learn at home or using the computers at our centre.

Course dates can be found on our IT Session times  page and on our calendar.

 

Comments from previous IT users.....

  

“It’s only in the last couple of weeks that I’ve sent my first email without help. It was to my grandson, who said ”Granddad if there is anything you need to know about computers give me a ring” 

 

 

 

“I now use my computer for emailing my relatives and chatting using my webcam”

“ It’s another world”

“I was a bit frightened at first, I didn’t know what button to press or what it did, but you get more confident”
