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

Jun 17 @ 4:05 pm – 5:30 pm

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

Maggie Jennings – Vivificante @ Highgate Gallery
Jul 8 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Maggie Jennings – Vivificante. 8-21 July.

Exuberant, colourful and vibrant, Maggie Jennings’ work celebrates the energy of living things. She works with the vigour and dynamism that she perceives in the world around her to produce strong, sensuous images.

This exhibition is the narrative of her life, and shows the stories and passions which she would like to share with you.

Her fascination is with the state of being and living: beginning with recalling the enchantments of her childhood in Devon, lying in long grass or up a tree watching animals, birds and insects lead their idiosyncratic lives. She has travelled extensively, and has taken workshops in Zimbabwe and Namibia. She was awarded a scholarship in Greece, and a printmaking residency in the Canary Islands. In Tenerife, she worked under blue skies with fragrant breezes and surrounded by brilliant blooms. This set the mood for her art career. The Tenerifians taught her a favourite word – Vivificante (life-giving, inspirational), the title of this show.

She is never without a sketch book and uses her visual diaries rather than a camera to record her travels and experiences. She will be exhibiting a series of these tiny books alongside the larger works in this exhibition.

Whilst all forms of printmaking fascinate her, the main body of her work is in the form of spontaneous, gestural mono-screenprints, painted directly through the mesh, leaving no room for correction and indecision. Her book “Fine Art Screenprinting”, published in 2015, describes these and other methods.

In her recent work, Maggie focuses on her home town London, scaling down and making more intimate works: etchings of buildings and crowds of people, made precious with hand painted papers and gold dust.

Maggie trained at Bristol (BA), and at Chelsea (MA). She teaches printmaking part-time at The Royal Drawing School and Heatherleys School of Art, and lives locally near Hornsey Lane.

During the exhibition there will be talks on the artist’s work on Sunday 10 July at 11.30am and
on Sunday 17 July at 3.30pm. Maggie will be in the gallery throughout the exhibition.

Gallery open Tuesday-Friday 1-5pm, Saturday 11am-4pm, Sunday 11am-5pm (3pm on Sunday 10 July) ; closed Mondays.

Chaos2 – An exhibition of Paintings by Steve Brooks @ Highgate Gallery
May 18 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

The predictability of Chaos and the uncertainty of Order are the focus for this dynamic and colourful exhibition of paintings and drawings at Highgate Gallery from May 18th until May 31st.

Order and Chaos philosophies have peppered religious and scientific history for millennia with ideas formed around the ‘Chaos Theory’ coming to the fore in the middle of last century.  These are the subject matter for playful new works, many executed in low relief which adds to the visual uncertainty – a change in the angle of view reveals aspects that cannot be seen from elsewhere.

Slade trained Stephen Brooks has often played with ideas and questions that have created ideological dilemmas.  This was also the case in a previous exhibition, ‘Ptolemy’s Mythtake’ at Highgate Gallery in 2008.

For further information please contact:     steve@stephenjbrooks.co.uk

Highgate Gallery open Tue-Fri 1-5; Sat 11-4; Sun 11-5.   Closed Mon.

Exhibition continues until 31 May.

Steve Brooks trained in Fine Art at the Harris College of Art, Preston, and the Slade School of Fine Art UCL.

For several years he was the Studio Assistant to Richard Hamilton, a founder of the British Pop Art Movement, who lived in Highgate before moving to Oxfordshire,

Alongside Steve’s fine art career he taught Design and Drawing in Oxfordshire, Bournemouth and London whilst also being involved in a graphic design business with his wife.

Having lived and worked in various parts of the UK including The Orkney Isles, Dorset, London, Oxfordshire and Wales, he is now based in Herefordshire.

He has held one man shows in London, the Home Counties and Herefordshire, and was chosen to represent Herefordshire as the Three Choirs Festival Artist in 2006.  His paintings and drawings are in collections in the UK, Europe and overseas.

Steve’s connection with Highgate goes back to the 70s where he lived and worked.  He had two one man shows at the Highgate Society building, one being an exhibition of Drawings and Etchings of Highgate Cemetery in an effort to raise awareness and funds for the then neglected site.

Chaos2 is his third Exhibition at Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution’s Highgate Gallery.

By popular request, we hand over the morning 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.
Using videos and recounting personal experience, Les and Tom will demonstrate some simple but effective measures we can all take to best prevent fraud happening to us. 
See you later!
