Do not attend this walk if you do not fit that description or if you have a medical condition (especially heart and/or lung conditions) that may impact upon your capability of completing the walk.

Some tracks may be muddy and slippery, and conditions may be wet and icy.

Do not attend this walk unless you accept and consent to the above risks. If you require insurance for these walks then you must arrange this yourself.

It is about moving together, clearing the head after a packed weekend, and enjoying the city at an easy effort.
Afterwards we hang around for a bit to stretch and talk. For anyone who feels like it, grabbing food nearby is completely optional. Come for the run, stay for the company.
**Details**
* Distance: around 5 km
* Pace: easy 6:00 min/km, fully conversational
* What to bring: running shoes, comfortable kit, a water bottle

Lesbian BSL Club
A lot of women have said they want a space where they can actually meet and communicate properly, so this is a simple BSL social.
It’s a group of women meeting at the bar, practising British Sign Language, chatting properly, and spending a couple of hours together.
Most women come on their own. That’s completely normal here and we make sure you don’t feel awkward walking in.
Women usually range from their 20s through to their 60s. It’s normally a mix of new and returning women, so you won’t be the only new person there.
If you’re feeling nervous, that’s very common. You can message beforehand or on the day and we can help you settle in.
[www.thelcommunity.com/bsl-club/](www.thelcommunity.com/bsl-club/)
**Where to find us**
BFI Bar
Location instructions: When you come upstairs into the BFI Bar area, turn right facing the main bar.
We sit on the right-hand side near the brighter seating area at the windows so everyone can see each other properly when signing and chatting.
After 5pm we move over to the sofas and stay there afterwards.
If you can’t find the group, message and someone can come meet you.
**What to expect**
Some women already know some BSL, others are completely new. The setup makes it easy to actually practise and communicate rather than just sit and watch.
You can go at your own pace and join in as much or as little as you want.
The group gradually builds signs over time, so regular attendance helps.
New women are welcome while the group is still forming, but sessions will eventually build on previous signs rather than restarting from the beginning each time.
**Important**
This is a female-only lesbian space. That boundary is clear and upheld at events.
**How to attend**
You must register in advance to attend

One quick note on how the community works
**L Community is member-funded**
The standard contribution is £13 per month and covers the platform, events, moderation, and safeguarding.
If £13 isn’t workable right now, you can opt out. Most people just come to a few things first and decide later.
Support can be changed or cancelled at any time

**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Columbus Bitcoin Social Meetup
*Sorry for the 2 month break but I had to deal with some family member health issues, but we are now back!!*
**LOCATION - THE DAILY GROWLER -**
**2812 Fishinger Rd, Upper Arlington, OH 43221**
Over the years, we’ve heard two requests constantly:
1. A place that was quieter and possibly private.
2. “I wish they accepted Bitcoin.”
We’ve finally found a solution to these requests with The Daily Growler. We’ll have access to their private room, and you’ll be able to pay your tab with Bitcoin.
Join us for a fun and relaxed social event! Enjoy delicious food and drinks as we chat about the latest news in the Bitcoin world. Everyone is welcome, whether you're looking for guidance, have questions, or just want to meet like-minded people. These social evenings are a great opportunity to make new friends and enhance your experience at the larger events throughout the year. We look forward to seeing you there!

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
