Highgate Calendar – Public events in Highgate, London

Friends of the Parkland Walk – Big Clean @ Stapleton hall Road Bridge, The Parkland Walk

Mar 7 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Please come and help us for this annual deep litter clean.

We had a great turnout last year, but the litter bugs have been back and we need lots of volunteers to help remove fly tipping, waste and litter. This year the event will only be for the one day. We’ll be going into the depths of the undergrowth to see what surprises lie in store. From past experience we expect to find everything including the kitchen sink (in case you’re anticipating a refurb). Key to making this a fun and productive event is getting a big turn out as we did last year. Everyone involved was unanimous in commenting how rewarding the day had been and we were delighted with the result. Bring family and friends along and make it a day to remember.

We will supply gloves, litter pickers and bags. Strong footwear is essential. This event is organised with assistance from Haringey Council Parks Department

Iain Lee v Radio @ Jacksons Lane

Tickets

Oct 8 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Award winning radio and TV presenter Iain Lee picks some of the most hilarious moments from the history of the wireless.

Why did Nicky Campbell drop himself in it when talking about foxes? What do callers to local radio REALLY think about Mayor Boris Johnson and surely old lady professors know what you can and what you most definitely can’t say on the radio?

Despite appearing on radio (Five Live, Radio 4, XFM, BBC 3 Counties) and TV (The 11 O’Clock Show, This Morning, Big Brothers Bit On The Side) for over fifteen years, this is Iain’s first solo show. Should be a right old laugh.

HIGHGATE COFFEE & COMPUTERS @ Highgate Society

Tickets

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
The Highgate Coffee & Computers volunteers
