🗓️ Start: Tue 28 Jul 2026 12:00 pm
⏳ End: Tue 28 Jul 2026 1:00 pmThe meeting is on Tuesday 28th July at 12 noon
This month will be a Show and Tell. Bring with you (if you have one) an artefact.
Tell us
what it is
the history behind it
how it came to be in your possession
eg a photo of your grandparents, a penny coin you’ve kept for decades, a ration book, a book
If you don’t you have one to hand, tell us a story about an historical artefact you’ve found interesting eg a monarch’s crown, a painting
In the past, we once had an ashtray which had been on the Titanic, a wedding photo of great grandparents and a 1953 coronation crown piece
Hope you can join us

Retiring from being self-employed is weird. Yes, I did it because my (physical) heart was struggling so hard I was regularly stumbling from dizziness and getting nightmares about dying, but I am now swimming in this kind of identity limbo. Business kabuki is no longer rewarded (if it ever was) and whoever I was before I started being groomed to “fit in” by neurotypical society is gleefully shouting at me to just have fun. But what is fun? I have no idea.

Burnham’s Britain
🗓️ Start: Thu 16 Jul 2026 10:30 am
⏳ End: Thu 16 Jul 2026 11:30 amIt is now all but certain that, by next weekend, Andy Burnham will become our next Prime Minister. He may have a Messianic appeal within his party, but the man himself will be under no illusions that the government he inherits – just two years on from its historic election victory in 2024 – has lost the confidence of the voters that it can still deliver on its manifesto commitments, to change Britain for the better. So, at this meeting, we’ll consider the huge challenges that Burnham will face – economic, social and political – if he is to win over a cynical public, tired of the Prime-Ministerial merry-go-round of the last ten years. Can he do it… why not come along next Thursday and tell us what you think!
If you haven’t yet done so, there’s still time to join our mailing list, which will ensure that you receive those all-important Zoom log-in details… just click here: Subscribe to the Current Affairs group

What do I consider fun? Would my workplace consider doing it once in a while?For fun:
When I do team sports, I like to play volleyball.
I like to go to movies.
And I like to play VR games (especially) Ingress, that require walking around, where a group makes it more fun.I no longer have a workplace. I'm retired and continuing to write.
