What we’re about
Welcome!
We like to bring together like-minded people on social and cultural events. Giselle & Michelle run this group for people who enjoy walks (not hikes), museums, galleries, cinema, theatre, comedy, day trips, cultural festivals, and all sorts of similar things. We particularly like movies, photography, history and odd corners of London. We usually go to a pub or cafe at the end of each meetup so we can catch up and chat.
If you want to see something specific, please contact us. (Please don’t post suggestions in the discussions area).
There is no membership fee, instead we ask for a small pay-on-arrival amount in Cash per meetup to go towards the fee we pay to Meetup for running the group.
We follow a '2 No-shows and out' policy to encourage people to change their RSVP if unable to make it (guests also count). A No-show is not turning up or only changing an RSVP to Not Going in the 8 hours prior. Please be thoughtful towards the people on the waiting list – they need a bit of notice to be able to attend. Thank you.
Neither of the organisers of this group are responsible for your safety or the safety of your belongings whilst attending any of our meetups. All members must look after themselves on all the group's events.

See all- Cinema: The Divorcee (1930)The Cinema Museum, London£2.00
In this pre-censorship film, Norma Shearer dazzles as Jerry, a modern woman who shocks society by embracing independence after her husband’s infidelity. Defying double standards, Jerry explores love, heartbreak, and empowerment in this bold story of passion and revenge.
The film will be preceded by a short introduction, and followed by a raffle. Doors open at 18:30, for a 19:30 start so we can have a drink at the museum before the film - you can take your drink over to the seats.
Tickets from the Cinema Museum/Ticketlab (costs about £8.80, +£2):

"From the period of 1930 to 1934, before the introduction of censorship, women were depicted in roles with a frankness and sex-positivity that remains rare even today. These newly independent women pushed gender boundaries as they pursued their own economic freedom and excitement, defying the previous Victorian ideals of domesticity, sexual purity and religion. Hollywood soon caught on and began to represent these women on screen, and each month we celebrate a different woman from that era."
Please note that the £2 attendee fee enables me to run the group, it goes towards the annual meetup organiser's charge.
