The New Bern Computer Users Group (NBCUG) was started in 1994 and is an informal, unstructured group of people having a common interest in personal computers.
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.
NBCUG meets at the Knights of Columbus hall at 1125 Pinetree Drive, New Bern, NC
NBCUG meets quarterly on the third Saturday of the month unless a cancellation occurs due to bad weather or by member vote.
Social hour is from 8-9 a.m. This is the time to find out who the gurus are to get help with your PC problems.
The program starts promptly at 9 a.m.
Meetings end at 10:30 a.m.

Since the NBCUG started in 1994 with 18 attendees, meetings have grown in size. Now in 2011 we are up to an average of more than 50 attendees. Starting in 2006 there were 396 members with 337 on the NBCUG e-mail list. Being able to send a message to all members using the club's broadcast e-mail address is an invaluable way for members to get help with a PC problem.
NBCUG has rarely had a meeting without a new member showing up. Come and join us.
