I strongly suggest you go to Gavin Tipping’s classes as he is a wonderful tutor and will open up a new world for you and give you the knowledge and confidence to operate your mobile phone, laptop and PC home computer.
Gavin has small classes and shares his knowledge with personal attention to make sure you understand technology and its many uses. Gavin is patient and understanding, his classes are very friendly in a relaxed comfortable setting with like-minded people who become friends.
I am amazed at how much I have learnt in a short space of time. Previously I only used my iPhone for texts and phone calls and now I have discovered and learnt how to navigate and use the various applications available. I have also broadened my knowledge and confidence with my laptop and PC computer and found that technology is not as frustrating and overwhelming for me as it had been – in fact I enjoy it! Thank you to my new friend Gavin. Tina (Aged 83)

From November 11, it will be illegal to sell vapes to under 18’s and advertising and sponsorship of vaping products will be banned altogether. Vaping will also be banned in legislated smoke-free areas such as:
- indoor workplaces
- cafes and pubs
- schools and early childhood centres
- public transport.
We think that everyone, especially parents need to be aware that vapes are now R18 and can’t be used in schools.
We are in need of a few volunteers who could spare some time on Saturday the 21st Nov from 9am -12pm and from 12pm -4pm to help with our Community BBQ 🌭at Bunnings on Constellation Dr.

Hollie Beattie is a beautiful 7 year old Torbay girl who has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Neuroblastoma. Despite receiving treatment for the last 2 years, the doctors have advised that they have exhausted treatment options in NZ and the last remaining option for a cure is a trial treatment that will need to be undertaken in Spain.
The costs associated of this are estimated to be at least of $400,000.
