KEEP LEARNING – Passkeys
Passkeys have been called the “password killer” – find our more from Dr. James Nicholson from Northumbria University. This session will cover what passkeys are, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they can be set up and used. There will be plenty of time for questions throughout.
KEEP LEARNING- Heritage Talk
Newcastle 18th century, three school boys who rose to great importance changing the course of history. You know their names, you have walked their streets but what about the men they became – learn the interesting facts and the connection between them.
* This is not a talk regarding Grainger, Clayton nor Dobson but three other very famous characters.
There is a small charge of £4 which is payable in advance.
This talk will be hosted at Battle Hill Multi-Use Centre – if you haven’t been there before the 306 bus stop is just a minutes walk away and there is street parking outside and close to the centre.
Finally, grab a cuppa for the latest tale from The Scribblers by Carolyn Gillis titled My First Love. You can read more stories by Carolyn and other members of the group in their latest publication ‘Scribblers Let Loose’ – copies are just £4 from Linskill Reception.
My First Love by Carolyn Gillis
See you at the Centre soon.
