All sessions take at least one hour, are inclusive and friendly and they cost $35 each ($25 students and beneficiaries). Pay for four sessions at once for a 10% discount – that comes to $126 instead of $140 (or $90 for beneficiaries instead of $100). All prices include GST

Courses are projected, feel free to bring a laptop if you have one, but you get a reminder tip-sheet after the session and a free mac.nz mouse pad, plus a schedule of later sessions.

All sessions take place at 7:30-8:30 at Grey Lynn Community Centre, 510 Richmond Rd, close to the North-Western Motorway (Western Springs turn-off). There is ample parking.

The sessions will only take place if I have more than two expressions of interest for each session: please email to mac.nz@mac.com to notify me of any interest.
