COMPUTER clubs are attracting Internet surfers of all ages to classes in Teesdale.

Clubs in village halls at Butterknowle, Cockfield and Evenwood have growing membership. Others are planned for Newbiggin, Eggleston and Bowes.

There are also training classes for beginners at Whorlton, Gainford, Evenwood, Cockfield and Witham Hall, Barnard Castle. For the more advanced computer user, there are classes at Woodland, Gainford and Evenwood.

The clubs have reported a variety of people attending classes, and there are a growing number of elderly users.

The computer classes, which require membership fees, are supported by the Community Pathfinders, who provide volunteers to teach basic computer skills.
