by

Please be aware there are a number of TV licence scams circulating at the moment.

If in any doubt go to the Official TV Licensing Site.

Here is some advice on TV Licence scams.

Sample Scam

Due to outdated TV Licence account details, your account has been flagged and it will be suspended if you will provide no response at this Notification.
Next up you need to verify your TV Licence account.
How to easily update your TV Licensing.
To update your details, you will need to tell us:

Step 1: your personal details like date of birth, current address and phone number.
Step 2: your payment method.
Step 3: your official identity informatio.

Updating your account regularly is easy to do and could help keep the cybercriminals even further away from accessing your personal and financial information.

Zoom

With the increasing use of Zoom for family get togethers, quizzes etc and most importantly for some of our groups and soon our Monthly General Meeting we have put together some notes on its use to either join a meeting or set up and organise a meeting for group leaders.

Joining a meeting is not at all difficult and if you have a device that allows you to read this then you can join a Zoom meeting

Amazon Tour

by

Unfortunately our Amazon Tours planned for earlier in the year were postponed and they have just announced, understandably, that there is no prospect of them resuming in the near future so they have created a short video illustrating some of what we might have seen. It is not as good as the visit but it is still an interesting insight into the process and the technology behind the arrival of your brown cardboard box.

The video lasts about 10 mins
