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.


ClubMac’s next meeting is September 5

ClubMac’s next meeting after the summer break will take place on Wednesday, September 5, 2012, in Old Belvedere Rugby Club at 7.30 p.m.

The line-up for our monthly meeting usually includes the following:

  • Training session: Our training session is delivered by Noel Davidson and is particularly relevant to those new to the Mac platform;
  • Technical Q&A: if you have a problem, this is your opportunity to put them to our helpful band of Apple Mac gurus (moderated by Peter O’Reilly, Club member);
  • What’s new in the world of Apple: An up-to-date briefing on all the happenings since the last meeting;
  • Useful Utilities: We try to feature little-known but often very useful software programmes that can add functionality or utility to your Mac;
  • Guest presentation: Every month, we ask a guest speaker to give a talk on a hardware or software issue.

As is customary for Ireland’s friendliest and longest-running Apple Mac users group, we serve complimentary soft drinks and refreshments at our meetings!

Remember: ClubMac meetings are open to both members and non-members. We just ask non-members to pay a slightly higher door charge!

Congratulations to
John Maguire

John Maguire was elected Chairman of ClubMac at the AGM held in May; he replaces Tom Martin who has stepped down after three years at the helm.

Sylvia Yates and Garrett Wren were re-elected Secretary and Treasurer respectively.

Thanks to Noel Davidson

Noel Davidson gave a fascinating presentation at our May meeting, How the iPad is replacing the laptop, in which he demonstrated that with the small Apple TV box and projector with an HMDI port, a 3G-enabled iPad became a flexible and cable-free presentation tool.
