COFFEE & COMPUTERS @ Jacksons Lane
Feb 27 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm

Need advice about what computer, laptop or tablet to buy?
Still grappling with how to use the one you have already?
Or just fancy coming along and having a play?

COFFEE & COMPUTERS IS FOR YOU

We hold informal one-to-one computer familiarisation sessions over a cup of coffee on the last Friday of the month.

No need to bring anything, just yourself.

“The computer has given me a new life” says 69 year old Coffee & Computers visitor. And the Government has just announced a major new initiative to get everyone over the age of 55 on to the Internet.

So if you are over 55 (or thereabouts) and the very mention of computers bring you out in a cold sweat, call Stuart on 020 8347 2411 or email kirstenhs2012@gmail.com (quoting Coffee & Computers) and give us an idea of what you want to know more about.

Or just come along for the coffee and have a dabble.

You’ll soon wonder how you ever lived without being wired!

We look forward to seeing you

Jan 15 @ 4:05 pm – 5:30 pm

Still struggling a bit with that smartphone, tablet or laptop you got for Christmas? Are they staring at you menacingly or burning a hole in your coffee table?

If the answer is “yes”, here is your chance to find out how to tackle your new gadget. Or perhaps you’re even still grappling with getting the most out of the computer, tablet or smartphone you got the year before? You’re in good company!

The whole IT thing might of course leave you completely cold, but you just fancy popping along for a browse and a cup of great coffee anyway. If so

COFFEE & COMPUTERS IS FOR YOU

Join us for our free informal one-to-one computer familiarisation sessions over a nice cup of coffee. We do tea as well!

No need to bring anything, just your head.

“I wish I’d gotten into this ages ago, keeps me entertained long into the night!” says 72 year old Coffee & Computers friend, who now follows every twist and turn of Arsenal Football Club from his armchair – or wherever he happens to be.

So whether you’re 35 or 95 (our oldest regular so far is 92) and this sounds like you, come along and take a look over a cuppa.

Check us out on facebook http://tinyurl.com/ohkalsh (if you’ve got that far) or give Stuart a call on 020 8347 2411 (quoting Coffee & Computers). You can also email Eric info@coffeecomputers.org and give us an idea of 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 show you what fun you can have with a computer, tablet or smartphone and how easy it is!

The world is at your fingertips. Literally!

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

Warm regards

Travellers’ Tales from Central Asia @ Highgate Society
Jan 21 @ 3:15 pm – 5:30 pm

Free entry – complimentary tea and cake – non members welcome

This is the third in what is now becoming an annual Highgate Society event – a January afternoon
travel talk and tea. Our first, in 2016, featured visits to North America by Catherine Budgett Meakin
and to the Andes by Richard Webber. Last year it was the turn of Michael Hammerson who dusted
off his slides and diary account from 1966 to treat us to a wonderful account of his experiences as a
young man visiting the battlefields of the American Civil War.
This year our focus shifts to Asia where we will hear travellers’ accounts of visits to three countries in
the Caucasus and Central Asia that receive very few foreign visitors.
The presenters will whet your appetite for a visit with images of magnificent mountain scenery as
well as heritage site of world-wide significance. This will be presented within a broader discussion of
sustainable tourism, the impact of the collapse of the Soviet Union, geo-political uncertainty and
social acceptance and resistance to the spread of Western values.
Do you need a guide to visit these countries? Or should you join a group? How safe will you be? And
how easy is it to engage in meaningful discussion with the views of local people? Come and hear.

Programme
3.15 1: Kyrgistan: Guyonne James
3.40 2: Armenia: Richard Webber
4.05 Questions, answers and discussion in response to talks 1 and 2
4.20 Tea
