A MAYBOLE group has come up with a deal designed to encourage more townspeople to click on to the Internet. The town's Community Development Group is looking for local volunteers to help man their new premises at 48/50 High Street. In return, MCDG will give volunteers free access to the Internet and full use of all computers. In addition, the group will pay the first £25 of each person's Individual Learning Account. This will enable people to undertake up to £175 worth of training at any local training organisation or any distance learning on the web sites. Interested people can call in to the new High Street offices and obtain more details from the staff. Meanwhile, the official opening of MCDG's new premises takes place on Wednesday, March 28. Members of the public will be welcome to visit from 1pm for a first-hand insight into an organisation that offers a whole range of services - free Internet access and use of computers, news and community notice boards, volunteering advice, photocopying, colour printing and community services.
