The Swindon Silver Surfers club is open to everyone over 50 (and of course those who may not be 50 but feel they too have missed out on the 'Digital Age'!), we can also help those that perhaps want to help someone else to take those first few, nervous steps to getting online. Oh, and you are never too old... our oldest 'surfer' was 90yrs young when he first took to his first computer keyboard!
