It could also be about your PC installation at home, your printer or your network. We cannot guarantee to answer your question but we will give it a good try!

A help Desk volunteer will endeavour to assist members needing help with their smartphones, tablets, and/or laptops. This service is by appointment only a one-hour time slot will be granted on request. If your issue cannot be resolved in the allotted time you will be advised to contact appropriate repair people. Please telephone the office to book a suitable time to visit the clubhouse with your device.
