Hi, I am French and British citizen. My Dad was one of the 15 free French who served on the WWII HMS Edinburgh. He is still alive, at 90 years old now, and is retired in Brittany in Saint Malo. Is it possible to contact the actual HMS Edinburgh commanding officer in case of this ship will go once a day In Saint Malo ?
Thank you.

Five years on and still going from strength to strength - congratulations on the project's fifth birthday - and every success for the next five years.

Three of the original Silver Surfers here today, enjoying ourselves after a fabulous day at the Castle for the One o'Clock Gun. Thank you Jenny and all the Tutors.

This has been a lovely and heart-warming visit into the past and makes me very humble knowing a bit more about our glorious heroes, men and Women at home during the war.

Look forward to Tuesday morning at ACE IT, always go away fulfilled and give what I have learned a try at home.

Both Maria and Pat have been very helpful. Although computer illiterate when coming here I feel I am not as afraid as I was. Thanks to Bill today as well.

Margaret and Gordon have had doors opened and horizons widened. A big 'thank you' to all the Tutors and a further thank you for this afternoon's celebration. With all good wishes for an equally successful future.

Many thanks for inviting me to the 5th birthday party. It was fun and how clever of Pol to get all the lovely photos of the firing of the gun on the screen so quickly. I did enjoy seeing the Silver Surfers again and meeting so many of your new Tutors. Gosh how you have built up that super organisation over five years.

The coffee morning in the Nursing Home was postponed because of illness so if okay I would love to pop in on Thursday morning. Again sincere thanks for all the help you have given me as a Silver Surfer, I really appreciate it.

Jenny and her team are super - I was an early 'Silver Surfer' and enjoyed every minute of my time at Dalry House.

It's been a real pleasure to be involved with ACE IT over the last three years!

While most people are aware of the positive impact the project has on the clients with regards to both learning and social inclusion... What is perhaps less well known is the story from the tutor’s point of view.

When I first became disabled in the early 90's, everyone including myself believed that it was unlikely I would ever be able to return to any form of employment. However, the support and assistance I have received from ACE IT led first to my receiving a national award for volunteering and then a part time position as a paid part-time member of staff (permitted work scheme D.W.P).

The satisfaction and sense of achievement I have experienced as part of the ACE IT team is only exceeded by the fun we have - both during the classes and getting together to come up with ideas to develop the learning and social sides of the project. ACE IT has made every effort to create a situation where I can work round my disabilities in a normal working environment. Being involved in the project has really helped me 'Put the Pieces Together' after over a decade on 'the scrap heap' ...Now that's what I call recycling!”
