Brew Pubs

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://chat.whatsapp.com/JSM3p9yjHpz0O92wEnKVk1)** to find the group & stay in the loop. **How to find the group** Check for updates on our **[WhatsApp chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JSM3p9yjHpz0O92wEnKVk1)** 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. No cliques, no pressure, just a social scene you can step right into. **Most of our plans aren’t on Meetup. Browse the full calendar on [CircleUp](https://circleup.space).** \*\* See the vibe on our [Insta](instagram.com/circleup.uk).\*\*

Come and get the chance to speak in a supportive and friendly environment. Public Speaking will boost your confidence and give you more power to speak and to be listened to in both your personal and professional life. **What makes this public speaking session different from others you ask?** There is a strong emphasis on self-expression, creativity, trial and error, and most importantly, speaking practice! **What will you gain from this event?** * Gain confidence by overcoming your fear of public speaking * Learn to think on your feet with our Impromptu speaking format * Get feedback and improve your public speaking with a real audience * Tips and opportunities to practice: body language, voice, tone, pitch, uses of stories, use of pauses, humour, etc... **Here's how it works:** \*I may choose to change the format from time to time based on numbers, and to practice different aspects of public speaking in order to keep it challenging\* You will put your name in a hat/bowl and when your name is chosen, you will be asked to perform. You will speak for 2 minutes on a random topic given by the audience. This is called an impromptu speech. We will do 2-3 rounds of speaking followed by a feedback session at the end of the workshop. **Public Speaking suggestions:** TIP: Give your impromptu speech the following 3 sections below. 1. Introduction ("Today, I'm going to talk about....") 2. Body ("Here is my personal experience....") 3. Conclusion ("So, my key message is ....") Each speech is to be 2 minutes long.

Learn more about The Purley Arms here: https://www.purleyarms.co.uk/ Closest train stations are Sanderstead and Purley Oaks. Can also walk down from South Croydon station too. There are some buses that go nearby too. Please note: There is a £2.00 meetup fee to go towards meetup subscription fees, payable in coins on the night.

We will be hiking the loop trail, (counter clockwise) around the BeaverDam Reservoir starting at the brand new Reservoir Park VisitorsCenter. Beautiful views of the water and varied woodland areas. This is an 7.5 Mile loop hike around one of Northern Virginia's largest bodies of water. The loop is mainly flat with a tiny hill or two. I've rated the loop moderate because the distance is 7.5 miles. After the hike we'll head over to Lark Brewing. 24205 James Monroe Hwy, Aldie, VA 20105 for food and beverages. \*\* I will make every effort for your safety. You are hiking at your own risk. Dogs are welcome on the hike as long as they are good with groups, friendly and you follow all leash laws. I like kids but this is an adult event so please no kids or any one under 21.\*\* Reservoir Park Trail on AllTrails https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/virginia/reservoir-park-trail?sh=lkkoxr&utm_medium=trail_share&utm_source=alltrails_virality
