Cambridge big picture conversation group

Instead of the regular pub meetup, let's go to the Cambridge Beer Festival on Wednesday (22nd May)

• Some of us will probably already be inside when you arrive, but you may have to queue for entry. Entry is much faster if you are a CAMRA member - you can buy membership on the door, which is well worth it if you are a real ale fan.
• If you want to organise entry / queueing, please message below!
• There is an absolutely staggering amount on offer - real ale of course, but also foreign lagers, cider, wine and mead.

Join us for facilitated conversation on the topic "Medicine: is prevention better than cure? and does medicine treat the causes of an illness rather than the symptoms?".

We sit at tables of 5-6 people, each with a facilitator. There will be a seating plan, aimed at gender balance at each table. Please keep your RSVP up to date so that if you cannot come, someone else is able to take your place; thank you.

Each facilitated conversation lasts for around two hours, with a break in the middle. To kick off, we invite each person to check in, without interruption; and then to offer opening remarks on the topic for up to one minute if they would like to, again without interruption. Towards the end, the facilitator will invite closing remarks for up to one minute on the topic.

We aim to have fun, and not be too serious. The question is an excuse for an interesting and friendly chat; the conversation may well evolve well beyond it, and that's fine.

We suggest a contribution of £2 at each event to help cover the Meetup fee of over £200 a year. Either by bringing cash, or by BACS with your name as the reference to AJ Stanton, account number 20456094, sort code 23-05-80. Thank you.

Informal event at the Station Tavern, for big picture people to have big picture conversations. Arrive for 11am. Do feel free to stand or sit depending on your preferred mode of chatting. Suggested topic you might like to chat about "Free Will".
