Draughts is a super-fun concept bar located in the iconic Leake Street Graffiti tunnel just steps away from Waterloo Station. This unique games-themed event is hosted in a private area of the venue – The Loft, with a contemporary vibe, beautifully exposed brickwork, and our own private bar. This is a doubles speed dating event, so be prepared to get to know other single people in an entertaining and interactive way as you move between tables playing new and nostalgic games in groups of four. Designed for social singles booking individually or with friends, you will be welcomed by our host at 19:15 and have the chance to grab a drink from the bar before we begin. Ladies will be paired and seated comfortably on tables with various board games. These are selected to be short in duration (approximately 12-minutes) and great for helping you break the ice as you get to know your fellow players. Gents will be invited to rotate around the tables in pairs, playing a variety of entertaining games, having no shortage of laughs along the way. There will be a half-time comfort break and lots of opportunity to mingle with others in this informal yet lively setting.

**What we talk about when we talk about AI** Wendy Grossman We talk about “artificial intelligence” as if it were a single thing, but in reality it’s an umbrella term that can mean anything from a computer program that generates an image from a prompt composed of a few words or automates keeping meetings notes to a non-biological superhuman consciousness to which we seem as dumb as a computer program that prints “Hello, world” seems to us. The issue is exacerbated by a number of factors: the hype “AI” companies’ marketing people sprinkle on everything; the depictions in science fiction books, movies, and TV shows; and, not least, our eternal desire for companions and superhuman guardians and our ability to anthropomorphize absolutely anything. This talk will tease apart some of these threads, and provide some guidelines in deciding how to navigate the difference between the state of the art and fantasy. Wendy M. Grossman is the founder and former editor of The Skeptic magazine. For 35 years, she has focused on computers, freedom, and privacy in books and for publications such as the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, New Scientist, Scientific American, and Wired. Since 2001 she has published a weekly blog, net.wars. She is also a sometimes folksinger.

At the Ceilidh, you’ll be guided through simple steps by an expert caller who keeps things light, energetic, and totally beginner-friendly. And with all the spinning and swapping partners, it’s not only a brilliant way to shake off the work week - it also burns as many calories as a full-on gym session 🔥 Once the dancing wraps up, there’ll be time to cool off, share the experience, and grab a drink with your new friends. Best of all, while Ceilidhs can cost over £25 in the city, we’ve secured an amazing discount, **making the whole night just £10.35pp.** This high-energy evening was incredible fun last time and so well-worth joining us for this one! **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **WHERE/WHEN** To start the event, we will be meeting at a pub for social drinks **from 6:45pm.** However, we'd ask you arrive **no later than 7:15pm,** so that we can head over to the venue together in time for the start of the night.

London's slowest pub crawl. A new pub every Thursday where everyone talks to each other. Because in 2026, you shouldn’t need to join a run club to meet new people. Turn up, grab a drink, talk to new people and see them again next week. Come solo or with friends. Stay for one drink or stay all night. **Coming along? Do these two quick things:** 1. **[RSVP on CircleUp](https://circleup.space)** (not just meetup). Meetup only has some of the crowd, the full community is on CircleUp. 2. **Join our [WhatsApp chat](https://circleup.space/whatsapp)** to find the group & stay in the loop. **How to find the group** Check for updates on our **[WhatsApp chat](https://circleup.space/whatsapp)** or ask the bar for the booking under CircleUp. **About [CircleUp](https://circleup.space)** Your social life. Sorted. Like a uni society for your 20s & 30s. We're your circle to show up, connect, and keep seeing the same faces.

This trail is a meandering path through the woods. There will be some overlooks and a couple stops at the creek as well as time along a waterway. It will not be a fast paced hike. There is some elevation change and uneven terrain. I will be using poles just to be safe! Will aim to get in about three miles. Optional lunch after if there is an interest.
