Thanks from Us to You
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the Technology Classes. It was a thrill to teach you and see you take some of the advice and technologies on-board.
It was unfortunate that we could not cater for more people.
Hopefully we will see you at the next National Rally in Rockhampton QLD 2013.
Until then, safe travelling.

Bendigo Neighbourhood House
At events like this the support we receive from Business and other Organisations is paramount to the events success.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the support of the Bendigo Neighbourhood House (21 Neale St Kennington).
They have provided the computers, printer, projector and associated cables and accessories required to run the technology classes.
Kickstarting our involvement
Things got off to an interesting start on Friday 31 Dec 2010. We were inundated with people wishing to register for the Technology classes, approx. 180 people registered on the day which meant all classes we completely filled for the entire 8 days. As the day was very hot, I wish to thank those who had to endure the lengthy wait times in the uncomfortable heat. Thank god the classes are being held in air-conditioned rooms.
The demand was so high that at least three additional classes were provided in the evenings and I suspect more may be required as we progress.
Class Room
The Field days site allowed us to use a small building which is normally used for Driver Training using PC's.
