Club Day Meeting: Wednesday 19 August

Club Days are normally held in the Hall at Pioneer Park, 11 Hastings St, Nelson on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 2 pm. The next meeting is on Wednesday 19th August at 2pm. Our guest speaker is Sam from Jaycar Electronics Nelson to share his experience and advice and answer questions. Jaycar Electronics is the place many of us go for computer and security electronics and IT accessories. It has a wide range of Security systems, Solar & lighting and Bluetooth audio and that is just the start. It has all kinds of tech tools and connectors, and even has a range of amusing novelties and gadgets. In store there is a free welding work station with expertise on hand to assist your electronics project.  We look forward to seeing members at Club Day, and your questions will be answered - bring them along. You will also catch up with Club News and enjoy the company. Afternoon tea is served at the Hall. You're welcome to bring a friend. It's FREE.

RUSSELS CURTAINS - THANK YOU TO OUR CALENDAR SPONSOR FOR AUGUST 2020

We are very grateful to the 12 sponsors who helped fund the SeniorNet Nelson 2020 Calendar published by our Digital Imagery Group (DIG). The calendar shows off the attractions of the beautiful Nelson/Tasman Region in images all taken by DIG members. Each sponsor generously funded one month of the calendar and the quick sale of all the calendars made this endeavour a very successful fundraiser. We plan to highlight the "sponsor for the month" each month throughout the year to say thank you. To learn more about ALL THE SPONSORS CLICK/TAP THE IMAGE.

Our new TV is a feast for the eyes

For a long time now the faulty display from the digital projector in the Hall has been a bit of a distraction. It has not showcased the images of the Digital Imagery Group to best advantage and we have had recurring presentation issues at Interest Groups and meetings. So it was time to move on and upgrade to a large screen Smart TV and we are pleased to announce that is has been installed this week by members of the Technical Advisory and Media Groups.
