After the success of last year, we're going back to Coram's Field. This is a large children's-only park in Bloomsbury, which is only accessible to adults if they are accompanied by a child under 16. There is a great adventure playground for older children, a large sandpit playground, a paddling pool, a wildlife garden and a large central lawn to sit on. Something for ages 0 -12. Join us for a relaxed meet-up on the lawn where the kids can enjoy a bit of freedom, and we can form a base on the central lawn. Bring a blanket, and obviously a picnic if you like. As there is a paddling pool, if the weather is good, maybe pack some swimmers and swim nappies if needed for your children. Ditto buckets and spades if your little one(s) like to play in the sand (my kid is big into digging holes...). I will aim to make a base on the central green. To find us, look out for the pride flags. I will send my phone number to everyone who has RSVP-ed as attending by the night before, as it can be harder to remain seated on a base now that my child is older. Call me when you arrive. The park is accessible by: Tube - Russell Square/King's Cross/Holborn/Chancery Lane Train - King's Cross Bus - 17, 45, & 46 on Gray's Inn Road or 7, 59, 68, 91, 168, or 188 at Russel Square. There is no parking onsite but metered parking locally.

Following our critically acclaimed productions of OTHELLO, MACBETH and TWELFTH NIGHT the Acting gymnasium's Saturday workshop returns to Theatre Deli on Saturday 28th March with a new imagining of Shakepeare's CORIOLANUS. Plenty of superb roles available!! WE WILL PERFORM THE SHOW FROM 6TH-11TH JULY AT NETWORK THEATRE WATERLOO. Set in a post-apocalyptic landscape, Coriolanus, a fierce and proud Roman general, earns fame after defeating Rome’s enemies, especially at Corioli. Despite his military success, he despises the common people and refuses to flatter them for political gain. Urged to seek public office, his arrogance alienates citizens, leading to his banishment. In anger, he allies with his former enemy Aufidius and marches against Rome. As destruction looms, his mother, Volumnia, pleads with him to spare the city. Moved by her words, he relents, choosing honor over revenge. His decision saves Rome but seals his fate, as he is killed for betraying his allies in return.

Come for a chat over a bevvie upstairs at Compton's. LGDM is mainly gay guys who have kids, chatting over a drink. We know the particular struggles of being gay and a father. We make it work, for us it is normal. LGDMs are relaxing, fun, positive, encouraging meets. First-timers specially looked out for and warmly welcomed. People come along as singles and couples, younger, older, out, not out, still married to a woman, divorced, trans and everything in between. 'Wannabe-Dads' and women are welcome too. Every racial group and faith/no faith background has come and been warmly included. Basically everyone from every imaginable background is welcome. The only condition is that you have an interest in gay dads being the best and happiest dads they can be. If you RSVP "Yes" one of the leaders will know to be on the lookout for you but you're fine to just turn up too, we understand and respect some people’s need for confidentiality. Plenty of blokes go for non-alcoholic drinks. No pressure, no judgements and no charge for this meetup. Guys who've already been to at least one meetup can ping Glyn ([https://www.meetup.com/london-gay-dads-meetup/members/246662999/profile/](https://www.meetup.com/london-gay-dads-meetup/members/246662999/profile/)) to be added to the "LGDM Chat" WhatsApp group which we use mainly for social chat between meets (only house-rule is "no smut, no politics, no religion"), an invite should be sent with the "nice to see you!" that you get after attending.
