3 Counties-Mac User Group Beds, Bucks & Herts |
Chris Curtis |
If you're in Bedfordshire, Herfordshire or Buckinghamshire, the 3 Counties Mac User Group meets once a month in Luton for a mix of presentations, socialising and sharing advice. The presentations vary between useful basics (like getting the most out of iPhoto) and more advanced topics (like masking in Photoshop or using Final Cut Pro). There's an informal feel to our evenings with plenty of coffee and a chance to get help from other members, especially if you're relatively new to macs. Over the past year we've also had several sessions at local Apple stores where the store has opened exclusively for the group and Apple staff have given presentations and training. Our website and regular emails are a good way to keep in touch with what we're doing. |

Mac Cafe |
Nigel Hamlin |
Simply put, Mac Cafe is the best little Mac-oriented online group we know. It's not a huge place, currently having about 200 seats, but we always can find room for more - a big advantage of being virtual! What's more, it's all free, there's no admission charge and there are no prices on any of our menus. It's a very informal place - there's no dress code - and very friendly, so much so in fact that we also devote quite bit of effort to running one of the most successful teams using BOINC software to try and find ET! |
