Our Club operates from The Tramshed Arts and Community Centre, Narrabeen.  Students are required to bring their own devices such as laptops, iPads, Android tablets and smartphones.

We are constantly revising and extending the list of apps and special interests we teach. Our original purpose is to teach enough of the "basics" to enable people to start using their computers/devices effectively. The world doesn't stand still and technology moves at an incredible pace. Computer Pals for Seniors Northern Beaches doesn't stand still either and change is happening on a weekly basis.

The following is not a complete list of all our activities so, if you don't find what you are after, please contact us and ask.
