What happened at our Make your own free website session on 30 October

Eight people attended a workshop on Digital Friday, 30 October, to build their own website using Wordpress. They all had different reasons for attending: three of them wanted to set up sites for clubs that they ran, one already had a site that was run by a consultant, one wanted to set up a site for his new company, and three people came just to learn something new.

There's still a long, long backlog of people who would have liked to come on the course, and we're talking to colleagues in Surrey County Council's Adult Education section to see if we can run regular sessions sometime in the future.

British Science Week..end!

I t might be Friday but there’s still plenty of time to celebrate British Science Week, with events and activities planned across the country this weekend. Guildford has a proud history as a hub of science and technology, with the world-class Research Park hosting some incredible pioneering companies. These include the games company 22Cans started by Peter Molyneux - founder of Lionhead Studios, which went on to be bought by Microsoft and produce the popular Fable games. Surrey Satellite Technology , defence contractor BAE systems , industrial gasses supplier BOC and mobile developer Volantis are other examples of the great mix of scientific minds that call Guildford home. Check out the official British Science Week events map to see what’s on in your area, and use the hashtag #BSW17 to share the fun online! Above: British Science Week events being held nearby

Welcome to Digital Fridays

Surrey Libraries are running Digital Friday events starting on 26 June 2015 and will be held on the last Friday of every month at Guildford Library .
