regional sub-groups
Local sub-groups. About 20 meetings held each year around the country!
Face-to-face demonstrations, discussions and open days are conducted by sub-groups of the GCG.
These provide ‘on the ground’ assistance to those needing advice and guidance in choosing, installing, and using computers and programs.
This is probably the way to get maximum value from GCG membership. Link for a sample of topics covered.
If you are not able to attend regularly, watch out for OPEN DAYS when you can see a variety of programs and demonstrations.
Suggested list of topics for sub-group meetings. For sub-group web space at www.gencom.org.nz email the Webmaster.

Our meetings consist of a wide variety of topics from Family History programs to Internet searching for genealogists. Our question segment often offers solutions to those who are not too shy to ask for help, but committee members are identifiable (green label) and can be approached before or after the main speaker’s presentation.
We also run a Buddy System, where members with particular questions are paired up with volunteers who can help on a one to one basis, either on the telephone or in the home. Contact the committee to find the right Buddy.
