Hawkinge villagers, both young and old took advantage of the brand new facilities at the Hawkinge IT Café in the community centre On Thursday (19 June).

Mable Mambawe of Dragon Fly Way went along to the open day and took the opportunity to update her CV and do some job searches. Mable said, “The IT Café is lovely, it’s a great idea and very convenient”.

Others visited to trace their family tree, bid for bargains on Ebay, search for quotes for cheap car insurance, reply to emails and to check out some video clips on Youtube.

Some who were new to the world of IT took the opportunity to ask about the taster sessions and certified courses that are available

On Tuesday 24 June at 12.45 the Café will be opening its doors to the families of fifty Gurkha soldiers, based at Shorncliffe Barracks, but living in Hawkinge. The special session will be a chance for the families to see what the IT café can offer for both recreation and personal development.

It can accommodate up to 9 people at a time and has a fast Internet access where people can surf the net and log in to all the popular websites.

The facilities are free to use and are open on Tuesdays from 1.30 to 5.30 and Thursdays from 3.00 to 7.00. People of all ages are welcome to call in and make use of the computers.

On Mondays between 9.30 and 4.00 you can enrol in taster sessions and certified courses and some charges might apply.

If you want any information about the IT Café then just pop along and have an informal chat or you can call Romney Resource Centre on 01797 367455.
