Being Practical
Furniture Restoration
We meet as a group in the Bridge of Earn Hall. We will cover French polishing, upholstery, rushing and caning a piece of your own furniture.
It is hoped to revive this group. The first meeting will be on * Friday 11 September in the form of a Garden Sale at 23, Cleeve Drive. Meetings will be held once a month on Friday afternoons.
* Plants and books will be on sale. Teas with home baking will be served at £1 per head. Any member of U3A is welcome to this first meeting
To help members explore the functions on their camera whether it be a compact digital camera or a digital SLR camera. To use the media available in the U3A National Resource Centre and to circulate DVDs to members for individual viewing and subsequent discussion at meetings as appropriate.
The particular activity will be decided by the group at the previous meeting.
To take individual photographs of selected objects in and around Perth and to compare interpretations of the photographs. When viewing the different photographs attemps will be made to suggest ways of improving the photo from a layout or exposure point of view.
Technology for all
This is of attraction to all members who have an interest in Technology and wish to learn more and also who wish to meet with others to explore this subject.
All forms of technology from computing, the internet, to home media, telephony and communications are involved, although computer use and applications play a major part. With such a rapidly evolving subject new technology and problems with existing are also discussed.
This session we are meeting in a new venue – The Wheel Inn Scone where we can have live access to the internet during our meetings.
The meeting format normally includes a presentation topic shown on a large screen along with topical technology discussion as well as Question and Answer opportunities.
This year we will be revisiting some of the previous topics including word processing, mail merge, using images in word processing, genealogy, internet etc.
