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.
We also provide entry-level training on the programmes in the iLife suite such as iPhoto and iDVD.
[Announcement] April meeting
The April meeting of ClubMac will take place on Wednesday, April 7, 2010, in Merrion Cricket Club, commencing at 7.30 p.m.

Don’t forget: ClubMac meetings are open to non-members (there’s a slightly higher entrance fee of €3).
Guest presenter
Microsoft’s Mac Unit have accepted our invitation to make a presentation on new developments in Mac Office.
Regular slots
We will also have our regular monthly sessions:
- Technical Q&A: have you got a problem with your Mac? If so, our knowledgeable members led by Peter O'Reilly will do their best to sort you out!
- What's new: Brian Greene’s take on what's hot on Planet Apple;
- Useful utilities: we profile those little known but often indispensable programmes for the Mac.
The doors open at 7.30 p.m. and sandwiches and soft drinks will be served. Merrion Cricket Club has had a makeover recently and it’s now pleasantly warm for a change!
March meeting
We had an interesting programme of presentations at our March meeting (March 3) at which we had a training session on iDVD from Margaret Byrne as well as regular slots such as Technical Q&A and What's new. Margaret also gave a presentation on setting preferences in Apple’s programme. The memo of the meeting will be available shortly under the Meetings section of the web site.
