New Bern Computer User Group

The New Bern Computer Users Group (NBCUG), started in 1994,  is an informal, unstructured group of people having a common interest in personal computers. It is an unusual group in that it has no charter, officers, dues or formal membership. Signing in at a meeting constitutes membership and if an e-mail address is provided the member will receive announcements of meetings, minutes, member list, chat from members and be able to send mail to all members.

Whatever happens at  NBCUG meetings happens because of volunteers. The group is always open to suggestions, including how to organize better. Ideas, however, always seem to require volunteer doers.

Fresh coffee is free and members may bring PC items to sell in the PC Flea Market or donate to NBCUG. Meetings are held bi-monthly year round unless a cancellation occurs due to bad weather or member vote.

.....Programs are presented by outside speakers and members. Being a speaker at a meeting is fun and makes one feel more as a part of the group. In absence of a program speaker, meetings default to an open forum where the floor is open for any topics or questions brought up by members. Some of the best meetings are open forums. The club has a PC projector and access to wireless Internet that any member can use for online demonstrations at meetings.
