LCC goes to the Radical Bookfair

The [London Radical Bookfair](https://londonradicalbookfair.wordpress.com/) is back in south London providing much needed space for writers and readers to exchange ideas and build connections across movements and communities! This year, visitors can expect a stimulating mix of stalls, books, pamphlets, magazines and zines covering subjects including politics, history, feminism, anti-racism, climate justice, queer liberation, trade unionism, internationalism and community organising. The fair will also provide opportunities to meet writers, campaigners and independent publishers working at the forefront of radical thought and activism. If you are an avid reader and value political and independent publishing, or want to enjoy a social afternoon centered on radical thought and activism, join us on Sunday 6th of September for this exciting bookfair crawl + social event! **Event plan** We will meet at the Norwood Junction Station around 12 and head to the fair thereafter. If you are late, don't worry, you can drop us a message and catch up. **Update: the programme of the workshops has just been been shared and it covers a lot lf interesting topics:** [https://londonradicalbookfair.wordpress.com/events-programme/](https://londonradicalbookfair.wordpress.com/events-programme/) Feel free to attend the ones that attract you the most, we will catch up in the end to head to the pub! We're committed to making every one of our events welcoming and safe for everybody. Our spaces are non-partisan, but not apolitical. Racism, sexism, antisemitism, classism, forms of discrimination based on sexual preference or gender identity: all these are obviously way out of line. If you are a victim of bigotry or harrasment at any of our events, please raise this with an organiser who will act appropriately.

🔭NASA Confirms Life on Mars: View With Wine, Music & Telescopes ☾P Date☽🪐

If you're looking for sensational headlines - this group is defo not for you! But seriously - do you look up and marvel with insatiable curiosity at both the beauty and the wonder of the **universe?** How it began, our place in it, how life evolved and where else in the cosmos other non-microbial life might live ( 99% of stars have exoplanets orbiting - some similar to Earth with atmospheres) so u have to be naively delusional to believe we are alone in the universe)? **And no I didn't make it up - unless you live in hibernation or have zero idea about our greatest endeavours - you'll know NASA really have found the best evidence to date of ancient life on Mars following further scientific verification of the biological signatures of current microbe life discovered on Venus a few years ago.** So we'll defo take a look at the red planet as well the majestic rings of **Saturn and it's** potential life harbouring moon, , the international space station, Tau Ceti star with **2 Earth like planets** orbiting in the habitable zone, remnants of **supernova** witnessed by our early ancestors plus a range of other fascinating celestial wonderments (comets, star systems, **galaxies**) over drinks and engaging chats and banter this Aug fully hosted by me - a passionate amateur astronomer and former global Reuters journalist covering cutting edge big picture science related stories. In between observing - we'll have **drinks and engaging chats** on all astronomy related topics for those inclined (Astrobiology, SETI/Femi Paradox, cosmology, space exploration, exoplanetology, astrophysics etc) as well as non space chatter and banter too. No doubt I'll hear the usual jokes we've all heard hundreds of times before! If those don't make you laugh, then my impersonation of Los Angeles ET will! 👽 **====Free Astronomy Club =====** Over the years we have enjoyed numerous social evenings of stargazing and thought provoking chatter with people of all ages and varying levels of astronomy knowledge - so complete beginners that are genuinely curious about the universe are very welcome. If you are just looking to meet generic randoms that you have nothing in common with / share passio**ns** then there are other groups that easily cater for that. The world renowed **BBC Television Sky at Night** also attended our events pre covid and interviewed some of us for it's show that aired on BBC1 in Feb 2019. BBC **Radio London** (94.9 FM / digital) were there Aug 2023 to cover our meteor shower event broadcasting live to millions of Londoners for 3 hours You don't need a telescope as you will be able to view through scopes belonging to me and other club members (as long as you behave responsibly and don't temper with expensive equipment). If you have your own telescope/binoculars feel free to bring along and I can help you setting it up if you're a newbie. **====ITINERARY=====** We will meet outside Camden Station. After a short wait for anyone delayed, I will escort everyone to our observation point in the park about 15-20 minutes walk away and brief you in terms of what to expect, observing etiquette, tips, equipment handling and take any questions you have - weather general or astronomy/cosmology related. **After Drinks:** on work nights - unless I have a important 9AM Thursday deadline for a client presentation I need to deliver or something - most of us usually head our way back to Camden for another drink till about 1am. I will annouce the pub to all on the walk back. **===What Can You Expect To See (this time of year)? ====** * Orion Nebula * Jupiter and 4 moons * Meteors * Andromedia Galaxy * Saturn, rings & moon * Star clusters such as the Pleiades & Owl Cluster etc * International Space station fly by * Venus & Mercury * Binary & tripple star systems (think planet *Tatooine in* Starwars!), * Neptune * Uranuus * Mars * Our moon * A look towards the galactic centre where that supermassive £22b black hole sits (Sagittarius A) More here from Jodrell Bank Observatory/Astrophysics Centre: [http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/](http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/) Guide to viewing the cosmos for beginners: [https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp](https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp) **===Weather Dependent=====** The event is subject to clear skies forecasts on the night so if on the actual afternoon of the event the weather forecasts looks unsuitable beyond doubt then I will postpone so please check the event status on the day of the event . If this event is still listed here at 5PM on the day, it will be going ahead at the designated day and time! Happy Stargazing Lucas Skywalker (Amateur Musical Astronomer)

Między prawdą a fałszem - spotkanie klubu Polish Your Polish

Drodzy Członkowie Toastmasters i Szanowni Goście, Mamy zaszczyt zaprosić Was na nasze najnowsze spotkanie, które poświęcone będzie fascynującemu tematowi "Między prawdą a fałszem". W dobie informacji, w której jesteśmy zanurzeni, niezwykle ważne jest zastanowienie się nad tym, czym dla nas jest prawda i jak radzimy sobie z fałszem. Czym jest prawda? Jak ją postrzegamy i rozumiemy w naszym codziennym życiu? Czy w dobie internetu, mediów społecznościowych i łatwo dostępnej informacji prawda utraciła swoją wagę? To tylko niektóre z pytań, które będziemy razem zgłębiać na tym spotkaniu. Będziemy mieć okazję słuchać prezentacji na temat manipulacji informacją, rozpoznawania kłamstw oraz tego, jak dbać o naszą wiarygodność i prawdę. Chcemy zastanowić się nad znaczeniem etyki w przekazywaniu informacji i jakie wartości prowadzą nas w tym procesie. Przygotujcie się na inspirujące wystąpienia, ciekawe dyskusje i refleksje nad tym, jak możemy być bardziej odpowiedzialnymi konsumentami informacji oraz lepszymi komunikatorami. Niech to spotkanie będzie okazją do zastanowienia się nad naszym podejściem do prawdy i jak możemy przyczynić się do tworzenia bardziej uczciwego i wiarygodnego świata. Zapraszamy Was serdecznie na spotkanie "Między prawdą a fałszem". To będzie wieczór pełen mądrych refleksji i praktycznych wskazówek. Czekamy na Was gotowi do ciekawej dyskusji! Jeśli jednak wolisz uczestniczyć online, to będzie też możliwość uczestniczenia przez ZOOM: [https://zoom.us/j/114852430](https://zoom.us/j/114852430) Więcej informacji o klubie na naszej stronie: http://www.polishyourpolish.org.uk/ www.facebook.com/pyplondon www.instagram.com/polishyourpolishlondon www.linkedin.com/company/polish-your-polish-toastmasters Strona Ogniska Polskiego: [www.ogniskopolskie.org.uk](http://www.ogniskopolskie.org.uk/)
