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

Leo Henghes invites you to an illustrated talk and discussion on development projects in Uganda. Since 2013 Leo has been working there to set up UniTED, an organisation which forges development collaborations between students.
Having been raised in Highgate, he will use an account of his life in Uganda to discuss issues of global citizenship and the clash between idealism and pragmatism in creating social change.
