Hey, great news! They’ve reduced roaming charges throughout Europe.

If this news instantly turns you into a giant question mark, this Friday 17 June is your chance to ask as many smartphone questions as you like and walk away with all the answers by teatime. You can also ask questions about laptops or tablets.

Just head to the Highgate School Library for an afternoon of free, informal one-to-one computer familiarisation sessions over a nice cup of coffee. We do tea as well. And cake.

If you don’t yet possess any electronic gadgets, don’t worry, we do and we’d love you to come and play with them.

“This is exactly what I needed! I’ve made lots of notes and I am much more confident with my laptop now. Thank you” says 65 year old Highgate Coffee & Computers friend, who has just booked a bargain summer break online.

If you want more info, give Stuart a call on 020 8347 2411 (quoting Highgate Coffee & Computers). You can also email us on highgatecoffeeandcomputers@gmail.com to tell us what you want to know more about.

People have asked if they can buy stuff from us. The answer is no, we’re not here to sell you anything. We just give you some useful hints and tips for your computer or smartphone, drink coffee, relax and chat.

The world is at your fingertips. Literally!

It’s all free, and we look forward to saying hello.

Warm regards

The Highgate Coffee & Computers volunteers

Highgate School has amazing computer facilities, and the friendly and knowledgeable student volunteers always prove really popular with our Highgate Coffee & Computers visitors. The students will help with any computer question, from the simplest problem to the fiendishly tricky challenges, nothing seems to defeat them!

And of course, there’s the famous cake that comes with the coffee and tea. Worth a visit all on its own!

Please note the volunteers at these sessions are pupils from the school, ranging in age from 11 to 18 years old.  The School has a duty of care to these young people and would be very grateful if you could be mindful of maintaining appropriate interaction with them. Please consider issues such as your language, your expectations regarding the type of matter you raise with the pupils, and the sort of information that the pupils may see on your documents or particular webpages. 
If you have any queries then please don’t hesitate to raise them with the members of staff at the session.
