Hello everyone!


This is possibly a tenuous link, but we are Zoe & Leon from WordPlay, and we run Radio-Drama-Making-Workshops in East Dulwich and surrounding areas. Our next adult workshop (12th March) is all influenced by board games! I thought this might be just up your street! In groups, we challenge you to script a radio play (inspired by your favourite board game), then you pop into our pop-up radio studio and broadcast your radio play LIVE on air! This will also get recorded for you to listen back on our website. We provide various DIY sound effects - including rice, but also encourage people to make their own.


Our Board Game Edition is being held at The Field - a community run space in New Cross this coming Saturday 12th March 7pm-9pm:

The Field

385 Queens Road

New Cross

SE14 5HD


I have attached a poster for the event for more details.


If you fancy it, tickets need to be bought in advance - just so that we can keep an eye on numbers.

Entry costs ?5 and you can get your ticket from our website www.wordplayeducation.co.uk/events

or feel free to email us on [email protected] to reserve your spot and pay on the door.


Perhaps this might be nice for some of you to come together as a group? (We split groups into 4 people).


BYOB and snacks if you get peckish!


We hope to see (and hear) you there!


All the best,


Zoe & Leon

Dear Book group,


Last reminder that we are meeting tomorrow in the Blake room at 8.00pm. Some will discuss the fiction book and there will also be a discussion on consciousness based on the The Magic Furnace.


We are lucky enough to have Pete Worley to chair the discussion:

I have never done anything like this before so it's uncharted waters for me but I think it will be interesting.


Look forward to seeing you tomorrow.


Chick

Dear book clubbers,


Thanks to every one who came to last night?s meeting. A very interesting discussion on consciousness and thanks to Emma for chairing it.


Our next book is A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Monster_Calls


If you are still on Freedom then please keep reading.


Our next meeting will be on April 20th. I am not sure about the venue. If you feel strongly about the managers attitude and rudeness please email his regional manager and complain. I have never come across such an attitude before.


[email protected]


As soon as I have a suitable venue I will let you know.


Also a very big welcome to Charlotte, Sian & Anne (Belgium), I hope to see you at the next meeting.


Remember if we order three from Rye Books we get 15% discount. 0203 581 1850.


Till next time,


Hoots & haggis,


Chick

Dear Book group,


I have had a meeting with the manager of the Clockhouse. We can now meet in the Blake room on a Wednesday once a month which is all we wanted. Lighting and music to suit us.


The next meeting is due on the 20th April but the Clockhouse is closed that week so we can meet on the 20th somewhere else or meet in the Clockhouse on the 27th April. Please let me know which you prefer sooner rather than later in case I have to find a new venue.


Meeting on the 27th will give those of us who haven?t finished Freedom more time.



Best wishes,



Chick

Dear book group,


The general consensus is to meet on the 20th. I have to find an alternative venue but that shouldn?t be difficult. I will check out Toasted in Lordship Lane tomorrow and let you know. In May we will be back at the Clockhouse.


Look forward to seeing you all in April.


Bye for now.


Chick

Dear book group,


Eyvie Wyld, a local author was on radio four's book club. We read her book:

"After the Fire, a Still Small Voice." some time ago and Eyvie came to our meeting even though she wasn't feeling too good. Here is a link to the pod cast:


http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07mw4f5




Also we have the Blake room in the Clockhouse booked for 24th August. Some time in the near future we can look at changing to the snug or at least trying it and see how we feel about moving.


Do listen to the podcast if you can it's very interesting.


Rebecca Carlton has a blog which may be of interest, only a few of you will have met as she has only recently been to a meeting:

Till the 24th.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
