We will go to see Romería, Carla Simón’s third feature – nominated in 6 categories at the 2026 Goya Awards – is the concluding episode of the filmmaker’s semi-autobiographical trio of films exploring her upbringing and family history. Set on the Galician coast in the early 2000s, the film follows 18-year-old Marina, who travels to Vigo in search of information about her biological father; she is seeking his death certificate to be able to apply for a scholarship to film school. Reconnecting with her paternal side of the family, she discovers a huge amount of shame and secrecy around his death. Reading from her biological mother’s diary entries from her youth, Marina takes the opportunity to uncover what she can about her parents’ relationship with the estranged family, and discovers the reason for their secrecy. For those who can stay will go for a drink after the screening to discuss the film.

A regular meetup for those committed to practising and improving their Arabic. It is designed for those who know the very basics and want a structured opportunity to practise reading, listening, speaking, and building confidence. If you're still learning the very basics but want some motivation to keep going, you're very welcome to join.

Feel free to prepare 2-3 sentences beforehand if you don't like being put on the spot! 🗣️ 60 mins Structured Practice: A focused session practising together with guidance : ◾ Taking turns reading passages aloud ◾ Listening to excerpts from an audiobook ◾ Working together to translate and understand the text 💬 Continued Socialising: Feel free to stick around afterwards for more informal chat and connection. ✊ Note: Active Muslims is equally about focusing on the actual activity, in this case, it is a practice session requiring mental engagement and active participation (and not just a social), therefore it is advised to approach and attend these events with that mindset, intention and purpose. 📍 LOCATION: Barbican ⌚ MEET: By the cafe G Level (Benugo) ⏱️ TIME: Meet from **11:00am** for intros and socialising.

Walk length 16miles/26km (approx) Circular.

Hitchin marks the northeast edge of the Chiltern Hills and complements one of our recent walks at Goring-on-Thames that marks the southwest edge some 50 miles away. Both edges are often referred to as the Goring and Hitchin gaps. The Chiltern Hills form a chalk escarpment north and west from London across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Bedfordshire and are designated officially as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

**Приглашаем вас посетить один из лучших сафари-парков Британии — Longleat 🐘!** В 2026 году парк отмечает 🎉**60-летие** с момента открытия, став первым сафари-парком за пределами Африки. Это событие превращает визит в настоящее путешествие во времени, наполненное духом авантюризма. Изначально построенное в XVI веке архитектором Робертом Смитсоном, поместье Лонглит было одним из первых и самых строгих образцов ренессанса в Северной Европе, но потомкам семьи Бат было тесно в рамках сдержанной классики. Именно Маркиз Бат Первый заказал ландшафтному архитектору Ланселоту Брауну разбивку **лабиринта**, положив начало превращению усадьбы в центр мирового притяжения. Сегодня вокруг особняка высажено шестнадцать тысяч тисовых кустов, образующих **один из самых длинных лабиринтов 🌳в мире**, чьи извилистые дорожки петляют почти на три километра. **Май** — безусловно, лучшее время для визита. Поздняя весна превращает ландшафтный парк в ботанический шедевр: исторические сады, разбитые знаменитым Ланселотом Брауном, и ухоженные английские клумбы взрываются буйством красок. Воздух напоен ароматами свежей зелени и цветущих растений, а прогулка среди аккуратно подстриженных тисов становится особенно приятной и фотогеничной, позволяя в полной мере ощутить величие классической английской усадьбы. 🐯🦁🐒🦦 Главное приключение, ради которого сюда едут со всего мира, — это знаменитое **драйв-сафари**. Медленно двигаясь по территории, вы оказываетесь в эпицентре дикой жизни, где на расстоянии вытянутой руки разворачиваются сцены, достойные документальных фильмов о Серенгети. Огромные **носороги** с достоинством пересекают дорогу, не обращая внимания на гостей, а грациозные **жирафы** с любопытством заглядывают в окна, словно приветствуя новоприбывших. Но главными звездами парка остаются легендарные **львы**. В Longleat вы увидите не просто сонных хищников в клетке, а настоящий прайд, живущий по своим законам. Здесь можно услышать, как сотрясает воздух мощный рык самца, почувствовать на себе ленивый взгляд львицы, греющейся на солнце, или с замиранием сердца наблюдать за игрой пятнистых детенышей, которые так неуклюже и трогательно копируют повадки взрослых. Не менее впечатляющая встреча ждет вас в вольере с белыми **тиграми**, чья призрачная красота и гипнотический взгляд остаются в памяти надолго. Отдельного упоминания заслуживают местные **обезьяны** — виртуозы автосервиса и непревзойденные клоуны. Они с деловым видом обследуют крыши и зеркала машин, ловко пытаясь открутить дворники или антенны, превращая вашу поездку в веселый аттракцион и проверку на прочность автомобильных аксессуаров. А чтобы завершить знакомство с фауной, стоит пересесть с колес на воду и отправиться в **лодочную прогулку** по живописному озеру. Там, лениво пуская пузыри, дремлют огромные **бегемоты**, юркие **морские львы** выписывают акробатические пируэты, а где-то в прибрежных зарослях угадываются силуэты величественных **горилл**. Это место, где дикая природа и человеческое любопытство встречаются без решеток и барьеров, даря неподдельные эмоции от осознания красоты и мощи животного мира.

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
