What is ClubMac?

ClubMac is for people who are interested in the Apple Mac platform. We provide an opportunity for people new to Apple computers (as well as experienced hands) to meet and to learn how to get the best out of their Mac in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

At our monthly meetings — which take place every month between September and May — we aim to answer questions that people may have with their Mac, provide them with up-to-date news on all things Apple and inform them about those little-known but often very useful software applications.

ClubMac’s bulletin board is also a very important resource; if you’ve got a problem, post it on the bulletin board (you must register first — it’s free) and our helpful band of Apple gurus will do their best to sort you out.

The iPad arrives at ClubMac!

Picture of the iPad

Thanks to our May meeting's guest speaker, Ger Allen of Stream Solutions, for giving us our first glimpse of Apple's new wonder product, the iPad! Having seen it in the flesh, it's little wonder that over 2 million iPads have been sold since it was launched on April 3.
