DON'T forget that the Evening Advertiser has joined forces with cable and communications giant NTL to offer thousands of pounds' worth of computer goodies to community groups.

And all groups have to do is write in and tell us what they plan to do with the technology.

The firm wants to encourage the use of broadband internet technology to help people.

It is offering:

Five sets of items consisting of a state-of-the-art laptop computer, copier and fax facility, a digital camera and a year's free 750K broadband access each set is worth at least £1,000.

Ten I-Pod music storage and playback systems, each worth £250.

Twenty laptop bags filled with goodies such as computer accessories and a radio.

Letters applying for one of the packages should be sent to the Evening Advertiser, 100 Victoria Road, Swindon, SN1 3BE.

All the envelopes should be marked NTL BROADBAND.
