We are seniors who enjoy sharing our knowledge and helping others navigate the often confusing minefield of technology and social media.

The world is changing quickly and we all need to be comfortable with the new information age.

Please come along and meet us and, if you like what you see, join us.

EuroSCUG has been helping seniors to master technology since 2008. We meet at 10am on the first Wednesday of each month, at the Moruya Golf Club, and groups meet regularly in shire towns. Monthly phone and tablet groups (Apple and Android) are also held. Visitors are most welcome. Meetings start promptly at 10am but please arrive early for COVID-19 registration and administration.

On February 3 our speaker is Cora Num, a fellow of the Heraldry & Genealogy Society of Canberra. Cora's presentation is entitled A Trove Search - 1845 Prosthetic Hand Inspires 3D Printed Hand - the story of a digital record, two designers and two hands.

This presentation was prepared for the RootsTech Connect online conference on February 25-27, but unfortunately, Cora had technical issues and was unable to submit it so has agreed to present it at EuroSCUG instead. Cora is a member and regularly presents or runs small groups at our meetings.

After morning tea there will be small group sessions including a genealogy Q&A with Cora. Other groups will focus on tablets and smart phones: Unboxing Your Tablet, Transferring Photos from Facebook, and How To use The Service NSW COVID Check-in QR code. We have a test QR code for you to play with. Our Help Desk offers one-on-one help on all devices and an Android Q&A session. Visit www.euroscug.org, or phone 0491 608 077.

Members will be pleased to know that we are now able to conduct our meetings at Club Narooma as usual, the only restriction being that we cannot bring and serve our own afternoon tea.

Our first meeting of the year will be on February 10, commencing at 1.30 pm and guest speaker for the day will be our friend Keith Mundy from Tilba Nursery. Plant of the month will be any red flower.

A full program for the year has been arranged. Our first outing will be to the beautiful and extensive Merribee Gardens and also the Sanctuary Point Garden Centre.

The cost for the day is $63.00, which covers the cost of entry, plus morning tea and light lunch at the Merribee Gardens.

A discount will apply to any purchases made at the Sanctuary Point Garden Centre.

Please make payment for this outing at our February meeting, so that arrangements can be finalised. Our annual Club fees of $10 will also be due at that time.

President Kaye and her committee wish all members a Happy New Year, and hope to see you on February 10, ready for a return to - FRIENDSHIP THROUGH GARDENING.

Communities across the Southern NSW Local Health District (SNSWLHD) are invited to contribute to a district-wide review of non-acute mental health services to ensure locals can access high-quality care into the future. I strongly encourage people who have used any of our non-acute mental health services, as well as those with an interest in enhancing the mental health and wellbeing of our diverse communities, to share your feedback and suggestions.
