Coffee & Computers @ Highgate School
May 13 @ 4:05 pm – 5:30 pm

Spring is trying very hard to spring into action, and it’s time for us all to get our act together!

So, dust off your laptop, tablet or that smartphone you have pretty much given up on and bring it along to Coffee & Computers.

Friday 13 May is your chance to reconnect with the rest of the world, just head to Highgate School for an afternoon of digital fun and information.

If you have no idea about any of this, but would like to find out

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!

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.

“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.

Give Stuart a call on 020 8347 2411 (quoting Coffee & Computers) or email us on highgatecc@hotmail.com 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

The Coffee & Computers volunteers
