on Valley MP Caroline Flint showed her support for Get On Line open day at Rossington Welfare Learning Centre this week.

Said Ms Flint: "Over 1 million children do not have access to the internet. Get Online Day was showing families the many sites
and services they can access online that can save them time, money or hassle.

"Whether you want information about family tax credits or health information on direct.gov.uk, or you want to email far flung relatives and send them pictures, the internet can help everyday family life," said Caroline. "With internet access in libraries and community online centres, you can learn about the internet even if you
don't own a computer."

Janice Dowson, the Learning Centre's ICT Co-ordinator said:
"It was great to have Caroline's support for Get Online Day, but anyone who was not able to visit today and wants to find out
more about the internet and what it offers their family, feel free
to ring me on 865936."

Get Online Day events are also took place at Bawtry Library and Cantley Community Centre.
