***🎮 Because apparently saving the Mushroom Kingdom wasn’t big enough…*** **👋 Hello guys!** Let’s get ready to jump down the warp pipe into the Mushroom Kingdom — and then blast off into space — as we head out to watch the brand-new **Super Mario Bros. sequel** together. We’ll meet up, share some laughs, and enjoy the adventure as a group. ***Feel free to bring along your favourite Mario gear*** *— totally optional, but definitely encouraged for some extra fun.* From what we know, this new sequel is set to take Mario, Luigi, and the gang beyond the **Mushroom Kingdom** and into outer space. The classic elements, like iconic mushrooms and power-ups — remain, but the adventure expands into different galaxies, adding a grand cosmic scale. It’s exciting to note that directors **Aaron Horvath** and **Michael Jelenic**, who brought their unique humour and style to the original film, are back for this sequel, ensuring that same charm and fun. Let's hope the sequel will build on the original’s charm and take the classic Mario energy to a whole new level We’ll meet for drinks at **Victory House Wine Bar** before heading to **Vue West End (Leicester Square).** The **Super Mario Galaxy Movie** will be showing on **Epic Screen 1 at 5.30pm.** I grabbed **B22**—feel free to join me there, or choose a seat that you like. After the film we reconvene for a **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)** review.

If you love anime & manga then please join us for our weekly meetups, where we basically just sit, chat and read anime & manga! We usually sit in the back of the pub. If the weather is nice we may sit outside at the back of the pub, or even outside on the downstairs floor. In this meetup, you can BYOM (bring your own manga) or read one from the selection we will bring. See this as an opportunity to discover, recommend or simply enjoy Japanese comics & anime with like-minded people! Note: This is not a book club. Also, the TCR bar is kind enough to allow us to use their space to host this meetup, and has asked if possible for attendees to support the venue by purchasing a drink or food while you're there. Please don't bring your own food or drink to consume at the venue, as the venue does not allow this!

Supporting Premiere Cinema by buying their food & drink IS supporting Dicing With Life! The cinema has been very generous to us by bringing us into their space & our way of showing our gratitude is by sending some business their way. And their menu is surprisingly cheap! Especially compared to any other cinema. Here's some cool examples of some great **offers**: Buy a large **Popcorn** (it's a huge bucket!) or a large **fizzy drink** & it'll initially cost you £4, BUT, take your bucket or cup back to the bar for a **refill** & the cinema will refill it back up to the top for just £2! 🍿🥤 That's half price Popcorn & Pop! This also applies to **Ice Blasts** too (£5 initially but to refill it's just £3). There's also Hot Dogs, Nachos, Pick n Mix & many other treats in store too! Check out their menu 😋 If you have any questions, please ask & let the fun commence! 🎲

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
