Motto: "Computer Literacy, Education, Information"
The Illawarra PC Users' Group Incorporated, commonly known as Illawarra Computer Enthusiasts, or I.C.E., is a growing non-profit organisation of novices, experts, computer professionals and casual users that began in the 80's. We are based in Wollongong on the South Coast of New South Wales. Our current membership extends from Helensburgh in the North to Gerringong in the South.
A General Meeting is held each month on the second Friday, 7:30 pm, and from 2008, on the fourth Saturday (February to November), 1:00 pm, of each month at the Unanderra Community Centre, Princes Highway, Unanderra
The meeting begins with a general Question and Answer time which is followed by an exciting guest presentation by a well known computer expert, who presents a live demonstration of the latest and greatest computer hardware, software or related service.
