Southgate Symphony Orchestra is an amateur orchestra based in Southgate, North London. It is conducted by Adrian Brown, who took over from Alex Eadon in July 2007, and led by Angela Hunt.
The Orchestra was formed in 1961 when a group of enthusiasts from New Barnet asked Terry Hawes to conduct them. In 1963, Terry Hawes became a music lecturer at Southgate College and the New Barnet group formed the foundations of an evening class he ran at the College. The Orchestra often performed at the Gladys Child Theatre under the batons of Terry Hawes, Neil Cloake, Chris Hayward, Michael Whittaker and others. Other concerts took place at locations around Enfield.
In 1997, the Southgate College Symphony Orchestra, as it was then known, became semi-autonomous. Subsequent sharp rises in fees charged by Southgate College led to a petitioning of Enfield Council to comply with guidelines for the provision of activities for the over 50's, in conjunction with Enfield Over 50's Forum. In July 2005, the Orchestra became independent of Southgate College and renamed itself Southgate Symphony Orchestra.
The inaugural concert was held on 11 December 2005 at St. Peter's Church and included Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D, with Gavin Davis (violin).
On 20 December 2007, Southgate Symphony Orchestra became a registered Charity (number 1122087).

C Earth is a dynamic augmented reality platform developed by C Studio, a part of the Thurber company. Augmented reality is an emerging field, and its complexity is often seen as a barrier to mass adoption. C Earth is intended to allow easier adoption of AR.
Visual Targetting Technology
C Earth's software allows users to post images, video, 3D-objects into their claimed AR space while also being able to share location based social networks, check ins and feeds.
It allows the user to target a location through the AR device viewfinder and selecting. This selected location is then translated to geographical coordinates and compass directions. Allowing anybody to embrace the AR technology easily, to be able to not only view AR layers of information, but to also contribute to the AR repository without technical knowledge or knowledge of geographical coordinates, compass directions and altitudes.
