YOUR VILLAGE FAIR NEEDS YOU! @ The Woodman
Dec 1 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

The Highgate Fair in the Square is a highlight in the Highgate Summer calendar

when friends and neighbours come together in the Village for a fun day out and

welcome visitors from further afield.  The Fair promotes local societies, charitable

causes and businesses, provides a stage for talented local groups, children’s

activities and an exciting selection of stalls.

This event is free and takes place thanks to a team of volunteers.  Without their help

in setting up the Fair, stewarding and clearing up afterwards, the whole occasion

could not take place.  Several long serving members of the organizing committee are

standing down this year so we really need new faces to make next year’s Fair on

Saturday 11 June 2016 a success.

If you would like to help and become part of this amazing team we would like to hear

from you.  If you want to find out how you can help and what is entailed, the team

invites you to an open evening from 7.30pm on Tuesday 1 December at The

Woodman, 414 Archway Rd, N6 5UA.  If you can’t make this or would like further

details, please email: thefairinthesquare@gmail.com.

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
The Highgate Coffee & Computers volunteers
