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.

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,


Thanks to everyone who came to a very pleasant meeting last Wednesday.

Our next meeting will be Wednesday 15th June in the Clockhouse upstairs in the Blake room. Some of you have expressed a preference for the snug area downstairs, can I have your opinion please. Our next book is The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts by Louis De Bernieres:

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:


http://ramblingrebecca.com/


Till the 24th.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
