[Beds] Computer clubs

[Stuart Barnes]

Hi

Back from holiday at last! I'm also happy to help out.

When we met we talked about contacting some local groups (Marston). I can't find much about the Marston club, except for a possible 'Silver Surfers' group. Investigation needed! I'll have a look around the Beds area to see if I can find anything. The library may be a good start.

I noticed on the lug website that the Beds group is 'inactive' and has a contact (Stephen Newey). Maybe it would be useful to update this information. Is Stephen still around?

Stuart
