Scams & Fraud Awareness

by Monxton Matters

Monday 18th January, Village Hall, 7.30pm

Those of you who read these Neighbourhood Watch alerts will know that scams and fraud feature as frequently as burglaries and thefts.

In response to requests from a number of Monxton residents for more information about the variety of scams; telephone, email and doorstep, currently going around, a presentation by Hampshire Police has been arranged.

This will take place in Monxton and Amport Village Hall on Monday 18th January, starting at 7.30pm. and will be followed by the scheduled Monxton Parish Council meeting.

The object will be to make residents more aware of the types of scam and the approaches and tricks employed by the villains and to help you avoid becoming victims yourselves.

As well as a presentation by our Police Community Support Officer, the session will include time for questions and feedback from residents.

This should be a valuable aid to our ongoing fight against local crime. All are invited and hopefully as many of you who can will take advantage of this opportunity.

Moviola: Wednesday 20th January

Hampshire Moviola,
in association with Monxton & Amport Film Nights, proudly presents
SUFFRAGETTE

Suffragette tracks the story of the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement, women who, in their struggle to gain the vote, were forced underground to pursue a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an increasingly brutal State.  Director Sarah Gavron has chosen to tell their story by concentrating, not on the famous figures involved (though Meryl Streep puts in an appearance as Emmeline Pankhurst) but on the fictional Maud Watts (Carey Mulligan), a working-class laundress who lives in a tiny flat with her husband and co-worker Sonny (Ben Whishaw) and their young son.  When a friend (Anne-Marie Duff) can’t testify to parliament about the plight of working women on account of being beaten up by her husband, Maud takes her place. And the opportunity to have her voice heard unlocks an anger which finds release in activism, but comes at quite a price.
