Canonbie SWI had their first session of the new season on Thursday 18th.
Liz Walters presented the badges to our new President Nicola Donald.
The talk on Scams & Keeping Safe was given by P.C. Lee Barnfather who has served in the police force for 18 years.
He gave a very interesting talk on all types of fraud from cold callers by phone and at the door to online scams and romance scams. AI is becoming so sophisticated now, making it difficult for many to differentiate between a genuine caller and scammers.
His advice was to always be vigilant, never sharing banking details, and not be polite. If anything happens you’re not happy about either hang up, or close the door.
Competitions were Stay Safe Poster and a key ring.
Poster: 1st Catherine Lithgow
2nd Diane Hope
Keyring 1st Pauline Greener
2nd Elizabeth Kinstrey.
The evening concluded with a quiz relating to TV detectives and the phonetic alphabet.
Next meeting is October 16th when Christine Beaty is giving a hands on beading class.

Our new season starts on 18th September. Membership fees are £32 or only £4 for a visitor. Looking forward to seeing you...
