Supply and installs software
If the club supplies and installs software on your computer before collection, you will be charged a setup/admin fee of £50.

There are various offers on leaflets in Blackpool libraries which reduce the above setup fee. You must have a leaflet to take advantage of the offer. If you can not find the leaflets, please ask the assistant to contact us and request some offer leaflets.

Never buy another computer, or pay for another repair.
Parts, labour and computers are free to Blackpool computer club members. All refurbished computers supplied by the club are unconditionally guaranteed for the life of the membership. For any problem at all, you can request an exchange, and your computer will be replaced free of charge, 'no questions asked'
We once replaced a computer because it was the wrong colour!
Your computer can also be replaced yearly with a better specification on request.
