It is the intention of SeniorNet Pakuranga Committee to constantly review the schedule of subjects being covered, so as to cater for the rapidly changing technology, also to retain the interest of members whose skills advance from novice  to relatively advanced.

Suggestions are welcome, and we would be pleased to hear from members who would like us to include a subject that is of interest to them, should there be sufficient requests for a particular subject the committee will endeavour to oblige.
