Upcoming SeniorNet Activities
Please find updated details on SeniorNet Classes, Workshops and other activities below. Remember. it's only $20.00 to join for the year and Classes and Workshops are priced to suit those of us on limited budgets.
All Things Android Group: Scheduled for this Saturday 14 April 2pm. This last session for Term 1 is postponed until next term. We will assess which day might be preferable in Term 2 as it appears Saturday is not popular for Android phone and tablet members.
Genealogy Workshops: Held on the 1st Thursday of every month from 10am. Cost $3 at the door. This very popular interactive workshop is gaining great momentum for members looking to enhance their knowledge of family history. This informal group shares ideas, hints and great tips. Gillian and her helpers are anxious to maintain that momentum and continue through the school holidays on the same day and time each month. Next Workshop is May the 3rd.
One to One Sessions: Wednesdays 10 am to 1pm. These very popular sessions will finish for Term 1 after next Wednesday 18th March. They will recommence next term on Wednesday 9th May. Look out for our next newsletter coming to your in box within the next two weeks with further detail. Call our Learning Centre on 877 2157 and leave a message in need. All voice messages are relayed immediately to a Committee Member.
Term 2: Starts Monday and Tuesday with our Drop In and Bring a Friend mornings on Monday and Tuesday 7th and 8th May from 10am to 12pm. Check out term 2 offerings of courses, workshops, special interest groups, Members Social Days, register early, chat to our Volunteer Tutors, their Helpers and Committee Members and share any ideas you have to enhance your learning experience at SeniorNet H.B.
Enjoy the School holidays starting next week. Hopefully many will catch up with family and friends and we look forward to working with you next term.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.4% No, I enjoy it
-
1.5% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
