🗣️ Arabic Practice Circle: Social & Structured Session

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. Note: This is a practice group facilitated by a native speaker - not a formal teacher or taught class, and not a Quran teaching session. 📚 SESSION FORMAT: ⏱️ 30 mins Intro & Social: We'll go around and introduce ourselves in Arabic. 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: Kismet Café ⏱️ TIME: Meet from **11:00am** for intros and socialising. The practice session starts promptly at **11:30am** insha'Allah. 🎒 What to bring: 📚 Any Arabic texts you would like to read 🎧 Headphones (optional, if you prefer listening privately) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ If you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP to free up your spot for someone on the waiting list. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🌐 **[@Active.Muslims](https://www.instagram.com/active.muslims)** *(Follow for latest events updates)*

Let's go to Pool House!

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.

Learn & Play Riichi Mahjong Sunday Afternoon Session

Japanese Riichi Mahjong is a fun game for 4 people but beware it is very addictive ;-)Beginners are welcome. Our hosts and regulars will be glad to show you the basics to get you started on this fun game. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ The board game cafe charges per session are food and drink minimum spend requirement of £15 plus £6.50 cover charge. The Library Pot menu https://librarypot.uk/menu/ **Please don't bring any food or drink to be consumed on the premises.** Sorry no bicycles or buggies of any type inside. DISCLAIMER: By joining in on any of our Meetup activities you agree and accept, that, by the simple act of attending, you are fully responsible for your own safety & well-being and that you will not hold the Host/s responsible in any way for any injuries or other loss that you may suffer.

Afternoon Fiction Feedback Workshop

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:** £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.

After Work Drinks - 30s, 40s & beyond - Out of Office Adventures Together!

Our very first Out of Office Adventures Together meetup! Are you in your 30s or 40s or beyond.... and want to make the most of your time outside of the office. We’re starting small for relaxed after work drinks in Canary Wharf. No organised activities, no awkward icebreakers and definitely no networking pitches. Just a small group of people in their 30s, 40s and beyond getting together for a drink, a chat and hopefully meeting some people they’d actually like to see again. This is the beginning of the OOO community, so it’s also a chance to chat about the kinds of things we’d love to do next — from London socials to hikes and day trips. **Canary Wharf — The Parlour - booked for 6.30pm** Coming alone is absolutely encouraged. Grab a drink, meet some new people and help us kick off our first adventure. Join our WhatsApp group and community for more information, events direct communication and bookings - in case the Meetup event appears full! https://chat.whatsapp.com/C9W5GZTSow72cv68CLZBdZ?s=cl&p=i&ilr=4&iam=2 Great people.
