PUBLIC ACCESS COMPUTERS
Two public access computers together with printers are available in the Stuntney Social Clubrooms, installed by the Cambridgeshire Community Network using continuous broadband connections to the internet provided as part of the £27 million contract between Cambs. CC and NTL.
The Stuntney Social Club acts as host to the computers and access is during club hours unless special arrangements are made. The Club is normally open from 8 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. No charge is made for access but as the Club has to stand the overhead costs of lighting, heating and insurance it would be appreciated if regular users would take out Club membership. The fees are very modest.
Local help is available on a range of computer applications, contact Elaine Adams (654006) or Rod Vincent (664990) who can advise on particular needs.
