About
Retired OnLine Inc. is a Gold Coast Computer Club established in October 2000 for the express purpose of assisting Seniors with different aspects of computer use with increased confidence and competency.
These skills using modern technology can be used to travel the world, to keep in touch with friends and family, shop, bank, learn, etc.; all without the need to leave home.
Retired OnLine Inc. members help each other to understand this fascinating, but often overwhelming new technology. If you are new to using a computer, please don't feel that you are alone. Joining the Club will bring you in contact with people who are willing and able to help you become competent in various aspects of computing.
Meetings are held twice a month, either with a guest speaker, or with members speaking on a subject relating to computing, including Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, Apple iPads, iPhones, Android Tablets, Android Mobile phones, etc.
Venue
Retired OnLine Inc. holds meetings at Palm Beach Share & Care Centre, in their Meeting Room.
Our twice-monthly meetings are where we learn about computing, exchange knowledge and catch up with friends over morning tea. We also hold social gatherings for our members to enjoy and expand the friendships they have made within our club. Visitors are most welcome to come along to our meetings and join in.
Some of the educational resources we are utilizing include: BeConnectedNetwork.org.au and GCFglobal.org.
