A regular meetup for those committed to practising and improving their Arabic.

Let's go to Pool House!

Let's go to Pool House!

Fri, Oct 23, 6:15 PM
From Fun Activities to Do in London on a Weekend
4.7

For the first time we will be Heading to Pool House which is like a Flight Club meets Pool event. We have two tables booked for 8 people per table for this unique experience! You don't have to be an expert at Pool or played before as the games are available for all levels **What is Pool House?** **More than just Pool..** Choose from a range of interactive games brought to life by dynamic projections on the table. Our technology tracks every shot, keeps score automatically and learns your ability over time, creating fairer, more competitive games for everyone at the table. Whether you're chasing the leaderboard or just playing for fun, every game feels a little different. This is pool culture, reimagined for a new era. You already know the sport, but you've never played it like this. Same cues, same balls, same satisfying clack. But the table's alive with interactive games projected directly onto each table, transforming the baize into a dynamic playing surface. Hidden AI tracks every shot and adjusts to your ability, so whether it's your first game or your hundredth, the winning shot is always within reach. **The Games** Designed to be played in teams, every game mode brings its own challenge. PotShots rewards bold play, with bonus targets, obstacles and big-scoring opportunities. CliffEdge is all about precision and control. Killer is a battle for survival where every shot counts, while Void rewards strategy, forcing players to think ahead and outplay their opponents. Behind it all: automatic scoring, live leaderboards and dynamic handicaps help balance the competition, so players of all abilities can compete together and stay in the game. And there's more to come. A brand-new game mode is on the way, bringing even more pressure, competition and heart-racing moments to the table. Watch this space. **How it Works** Getting started is easy. Pick your game, choose your team, and let the table do the rest. ### Create your profile Use the kiosk screens to check in, take your player selfie and let the table learn your skill from the first shot. ### Play your way Pick your mode and let the games begin! The table handles the scoring, so you can focus on that winning shot. ### Climb the ranks Play more to increase your Poolhouse rating, track your progress and see who you need to beat next.

Afternoon Fiction Feedback Workshop

Afternoon Fiction Feedback Workshop

Thu, Oct 22, 1:30 PM
From London Writers' CafΓ©
4.7

An afternoon feedback session for those who don't work 9-5 during the week. I hope you'll join these new sessions. In these regular writing workshops, we have three writers sharing a sample of their writing for immediate feedback, advice and encouragement. Critique is led and moderated by your host. You learn more by listening to the writing of others and the feedback their piece receives on the night than you can imagine. We've been running these sessions since 2010 and there's a reason they fill up so fast! Usually, we have a group of up to 15 writers attending. For people reading, pieces must be **3,500 words or less** as you'll have about 45mins for reading and discussion on your excerpt from around the table. Most people bring 3,500 words from their novel or a short story of all genres and styles. If you'd like to read, please **post a comment below**. ***You must have booked your place before making a request to read.*** If you are reading, **please bring enough printed copies (at least 10)** of your pages so members can make additional feedback/editing notes for you during the reading. All copies will be returned to you after the feedback has concluded. New members are always welcome in these groups. Most people come along to a few sessions before offering feedback, commenting or requesting to read but it's up to you. If you want to read right away, great, but if you want to come along and see how we roll first, that makes sense too. Again, you'll be surprised by how much you can learn from others by listening to the pieces and their feedback. After the workshop, most of us head to the bar for a social drink or two and extended conversation about the joys and woes of writing. **TICKETS:** Β£12.00 and please follow the steps to pay via PayPal when you RSVP. Williamson's have raised their hire fees and so ticket prices have to reflect that additional spend. It's also my role to organise and lead these sessions so ticket price incorporates my labour in hosting these sessions for you. Thanks for understanding. PLEASE NOTE: Refunds or credits will only be provided if the meetup is cancelled by us. We cannot offer refunds or credit for another session if you decide not to attend on the day. Please change your RSVP if you no longer plan to attend. We often have people on the waiting list and we'd hate for others to miss out. Location: **The Sutton Arms EC1,** 6 Carthusian St, Barbican, EC1M 6EB. Closest station is Barbican. **NOTE:** There's another pub called The Sutton Arms only minutes away (confusing!) so make sure you come to the one called EC1 in google maps. Try the official Meetup app to receive last-minute updates and notifications about our events as they happen to your phone. [Download it now](https://www.meetup.com/apps/). These workshops are hosted by me - Lisa Goll, Boss Lady at London Writers' Cafe - I'm a publishing professional with more than twenty years of working within the publishing industry. Added to that, I've been leading LWC feedback workshops for fiction writers since 2010 too.
