Another very well attended & pretty noisy meeting!

This month, the white heat of technology burned brightly in Hampton when Kit, Jacqui & Chris initiated us into the secret (to most of us anyway) world of social media! It’s all so much easier when somebody who knows their stuff shows you & explains it all to you! Now we can hold our heads up in front of our grandchildren!

We had several laptops set up & some people brought their ipads & tablets, so there was no shortage of equipment. And no shortage of interest from our members & friends either. We looked at our own website & Jacqui explained what we could find on it how to make the most of it, then we watched presentations about some of the better known sites including Facebook, Twitter & Pinterest. We even purely by chance, came across our WI neighbours at Teddington tweeting to each other while we watched! Couldn’t have organised it better!

As usual, we had our raffle & we would like to thank Pauline for organising the refreshments & making some of her lovely cakes for us.

Join us for a fun and interactive evening.  The evening will be a chance for novices and new comers to find out a bit more about social media applications such as Twitter and Facebook, and for those who are already knowledgeable to spread their knowledge among the group.

We will show a demonstration of our own website and how we can all use it as a great resource.  None of us proclaim to be experts but we are sure we can all learn from each other.  Please feel free to bring along your laptops and tablets and any questions or IT issues you have and we will see if somehow we can solve them.
