TheHighgate Coffee & Computers’ special Cyber scam session is today!

A talk by local historian Ruth Hazeldine.
Thursday 10th October 2019
7.00 pm
10A South Grove N6 6BS
“All attempts to curtail the consumption of the spirit of ‘Madam Geneva’ have failed. I shall tell you how and why. Highgate has a local connection with gin, as Felix Booth, of the Booth gin distilling family, lived in Crouch Hall, Crouch End. William Hogarth drew Gin Lane, his famous depiction of the horrors of drunkeness, by observing drunken revellers reeling out of the Flask pub. What is the origin of the phrase “to take Dutch courage”? I shall tell you, and more”

Wednesday 6th November 2019
8.00 pm to 10.00 pm
10A South Grove N6 6BS
An evening of chat in French with partners, using provided questions. Judging by the enjoyment had by participants at previous such evenings, a good time will be had by all.
Entry £5 on the door to include refreshments.
The presentation by Channing pupils has been postponed.
Waste Not Want Not
Our speakers will
address the ‘waste hierarchy’ – how we can reduce, reuse
and recycle more waste, and the meeting is open to all.
We’ll hear from Carina Millstone who is Executive
Director of Feedback, a charity that campaigns to
transform our food systems, cutting the impact on our
planet, particularly from waste. Leigh McAlea will
discuss the impact of fast fashion – she is Head of
Communications at TRAID, a charity which aims to
“stop clothes from being thrown away.” We’ll also find
out what councils can do to tackle plastic waste from Ian
Kershaw of Haringey Council.
Addressing waste disposal – at the end of the waste
hierarchy – will be Ursula Taylor, Head of Legal and
Governance at North London Waste Authority. Ursula
will discuss what happens to our waste – many of us will
have been horrified to see images of piles of British
‘recycling’ strewn across the shores of South East Asia.
Our speakers will address what we can do as individuals
to reduce waste and discuss the sorts of policies that we
should be demanding from local and national politicians.
Following the talks there will be a Q & A session.
