COFFEE & COMPUTERS @ Highgate School Library (entrance opposite The Gatehouse)
Mar 18 @ 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

The Coffee & Computers volunteers

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
The Highgate Coffee & Computers volunteers
