Mangrove Mountain Computer Club

The old Mangrove Mountain Fire Shed looking much the same externally after the refurbishment of the interior. Due to Heritage restrictions, the external appearance had to be maintained.

We are assisting the Central Coast Dressage Association with the development of computer based scoring system based on Excel. This wil be tested in late November.

We have assisted Helen Simmonds with a website to publish the results of her research into toxic weeds and their effects on animals, upading the book that was published in 2000. You can view the Australian Weeds and Livestock website here.

The Club participated in the Country Fair and one of our members from the Video & Photo Editing group prepared a humourous animated video to promote the MMCC, featuring 'Mr Pothole', that you can view here. This entry was awarded a Special Award by the Judge.

More information about classes here or you can view a calendar of the programme here.

There is a navigable map showing our location here, but it may take a while to load, especially if you are not on Broadband.

The Joining Fee for new members for 08/09 will be $10 if joining during July-December and $5 if joining during January-June, and the Annual Subscription for 08/09 will continue to be $5.

Equipment Upgrade

We now have an iMac available at the Club, capable of running both Apple and Windows programs.

The server and all thirteen computers have now been upgraded. All operating systems and applications have been reinstalled from scratch and the computers can now be started up either in Windows XP Pro as before or Windows Vista Business Edition with Microsoft Office 2007.

The Mangrove Mountain Seniors Computer Club was formed under the auspices of the Community Technology Centre at Mangrove Mountain Incorporated t/as CTC@MangroveMountain on 25th November 2004.

The aim of the Club is to provide a relaxed atmosphere in which older members of the local community who are interested can learn about computers and what they can do for them at their own pace.

This was extended to include all members of the community, regardless of age, now recognised more formally by the name change to Mangrove Mountain Computer Club.

The MMCC has access to the equipment and facilities that were funded jointly by the Commonwealth Government and the NSW State Government and which are administered by the Community Technology Centre at Mangrove Mountain Incorporated. The facilities are located at the Old Fire Shed, 6 Waratah Road, Mangrove Mountain and include 12 workstations with ADSL broadband access to the Internet.

The Joining Fee for new members for 08/09 is $10 if joining in July-December and $5 if not joining until January-June and the Annual Subscription for 08/09 continues to be $5 for July-June or part thereof. The cost per person per session remains unchanged at $5.

If you are interested in joining the Club, please contact the Secretary, Nick Mason, on 4373 1014 or email mmcc@ctcmm.net or just come along to one of the sessions - you will be made very welcome.
