💻 Lovely to visit the The Centre for Computing History last week - what a fascinating time capsule! Will be back with the family soon to have a proper explore.

I went along to find out more about their Broken Tech: Broken Earth Project which aims to explore how the explosion in technology over the last 80 years has impacted the local and global environment.

🌍💻 It was great to explore how we can work together and create meaningful opportunities for collaboration. Looking forward to what comes next! Thank you for the connection Retapp.co 🔌

Great to be back at Mitcham's Corner Co-op in last Friday with Cambridgeshire Constabulary who provided free BikeRegister bike marking for over 30 people. Registering your bike on www.bikeregister.com deters thieves and helps the police recover it if it’s stolen.

It was lovely chatting with everyone who stopped by my stall too! Over 30 visitors had a go on the spin-the-wheel game - earning extra spins for showing their Co-op card or app. Prizes ranged from learning something new about Co-op to winning tasty treats and tote bags 🎉

Thanks to everyone who came along!

Future sessions at Co-ops:
🚴Coop 177 Mill Road, Cambridge – Monday 22nd June - 1200-1400
🚴 Coop 3 Grantchester St, Cambridge - Weds 1st July – 1000-1200
