Our November Meeting
 What fun and were we surprised?
Yes, we were!
We met at the 13rh Beach Golf Club and had afternoon tea - delicious goodies to go with our teas/coffees.
As predicted, our two speakers offered amazing insights into their lives - when you walk past someone in the street, you may be walking past an amazing story! Actually, even those of us who think we are boring are not boring!
Our first speaker told us how she has done what many threaten to do - she has written a book that is now in circulation and of great interest to locals in the Bellarine area. She started her book saying everyone, but everyone has interesting stories, but she told the stories in her book of women who have achieved amazing lives in the region. If you are interested in reading the book, please let us know and we will pass the message on to the writer.
Our second speaker told us about the decades of work he has done with his partner in countries with names some of us don't even know (to our shame).
Volunteering to live in dangerous circumstances in dangerous countries apparently can reassure one that everywhere there are special people and many who can work together to achieve surprising results.
Our speakers inspired us to tell some anecdotes too but they certainly sent many of us home with our heads buzzing about what we might have done - or even might do in the future.
Thank you speakers!
Others, please join us in January for a great start to the year - and bring your friends. A note will be sent out about the January meeting in January.
Still helping with computers?
We can't ignore our past :-)
One of the topics that we will continue to work on is help for our colleagues with their computers, and phones, when we have the expertise. We will not commonly have presentations about computers in the future but we all use them and this is a great group[ for sharing what they know. Members can send in questions and others will certainly be willing to try to help.
Got 20,000 email sin your mailbox? You might need some help. Can't register your vaccinations for use on your phone? you might need some help... You get the idea - you can always ask a question at assist@bellarinemac.org.au
Don't forget that the BMUG website has a growing section on things to do with the technology - see what we have in https://www.bellarinemac.org.au/resources or what we have considered in our previous newsletters https://www.bellarinemac.org.au/newsletter

Our next meeting - Dec 14
We are planning a fun get together - come along and meet up with old friends, meet new ones, and bring your friends!
We will be meeting under cover but outside at the Ocean Grove foreshore at 3.00 pm onwards for a couple of hours on December 14. If you haven't been to a BMUG meeting for ages, all the more reason to catch up!
We ask you to being what you would like to eat and drink - maybe to share with others? - and a chair! At the venue here is a large shelter shed and BBQs but we will not be using them. (You can bring a chop and stay later if you wish! There are toilets and plenty of car-parking spaces.
The venue is outside but sheltered - you should being a coat if there is a breeze and the obligatory mossie spray.
We are hoping to meet up with BMUGers from old times and new - so please put this event in your diary and send us an RSVP to say who is or is not coming to help us plan everything (info@bellarinemac.org.au). We will send you in reply, precise details for finding the venue.
