HIGHGATE COFFEE & COMPUTERS @ Highgate Society
Apr 1 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm
So, it’s time for another session of Highgate Coffee and Computers 
Do drop in this morning if you want a bit of one-to-one techi advice. Failing that, tell your mum or grandad about us!
All levels of know-how are welcome, from the totally blank face to the quite savvy computer or smartphone user. Even those who just want to see what it’s about and have a cup of coffee.

04 October, 10:30-12:30  – SAVE THE DATE! 

At our 04 October session, by popular request, we hand over to Leslie Jackson and Tom Lee from the Metropolitan Scam Safe Unit. Scams of all kinds happen every day in Camden, from PIN theft at ATMs to clever phone fraud. In this age of electronics, it can happen to any of us, at any time. 
 
In July alone Camden Borough residents made 148 reports to Action Fraud. Their losses total £537,330 or an average loss of £3,606 per report. 
 
The top three types of fraud are: 
False representation 43 reports £2,040 lost 
Online Shopping & Auctions 18 reports £3,656 lost 
Consumer Fraud 15 reports £31,199 lost 
 
The top three by amount reported lost: 
Payment Fraud £314,933 lost 9 reports 
Click Fraud £65,000 lost 1 report 
Banking Fraud £50,307 lost 9 reports   
 
But if we know what to look out for, we can easily stay clear of the scammers.
Les and Tom will demonstrate some simple but effective measures we can all take to best prevent fraud happening to us. 
 
Numbers are limited so please email to say if you’ll be joining us on Friday 04 October and if you’re bringing a friend
We hope to see you this morning.
Best wishes

Brahms: A German Requiem @ St. Michael's Church
Mar 30 @ 7:30 pm – 8:45 pm

Brahms’ gorgeous, stirring Ein Deutsches Requiem is one of the great choral works, full of warm, rich harmonies. Inspired perhaps by the deaths of his mother, and his friend and fellow composer Robert Schumann, its music evokes comfort, loss, fear, peace and joy. Unlike other well known requiems, Brahms’ is not so much a mass for the dead as an offering of solace to those who mourn.

Jane Hopkins conducts Voxcetera, with soprano Ellie Sperling and baritone Jamie Sperling, using Iain Farrington’s acclaimed arrangement of the score for chamber ensemble. It promises to be both a grand and intimate experience.

There will be a bar open before and after the performance, and Voxcetera hopes you’ll stay to join us for wine and cake when the music finishes.

Voxcetera is a north London-based choir performing regularly in north and central London. Recent activity includes concerts at St Martin-in-the-fields, East Finchley Arts Festival, tours to southern Germany and recording work for Unicef’s Generations campaign. Its most recent Highgate concert was for Christmas 2018, in St Josephs RC Church.
