Deer Hunting

**Meet at Wetherspoons Metropolitan Bar by Baker St Station.** How are your observation and detection skills? Are you up for a fun challenge? This is another of our many outside Picture Hunts this year. If any issues with weather, we’ll switch to 50-50 Trivia in the nearby Wetherspoon Metropolitan pub, so something will be on regardless. Please aim to turn up for 1:00-1:30 when teams are being arranged. The Hunt starts at 1:30. You're losing search time if you're late! Bring a pen please. The event will be centred around shops on one side of Baker St, so there’s no crossing of busy roads. As usual, portions of the road are split up into areas where teams search for the locations of photographed items in the street, buildings or shop windows, and then record where they found them. Picture Hunts are a great new way to get up to speed with slices of London history while sleuthing around the area. Everyone is presented with twenty partial photos of objects around an area. Your team mission is to find them. Some well known, some well unknown! This makes Picture Hunts more interesting and challenging, bringing out the best of your teams detecting skills. You will also have a map of the area. It will be sub-divided into four sections, P, Q, R, S. Each photo will come from one of these. Four players max per team, but the lower number teams get a point per player start from the biggest team. For example, four teams of one, two, three and four. Four player team, no advantage, (the biggest and theoretically the more knowledge between them, except it doesn't always work like that). Three player team, one point start. Two player team, two point start. One player team, three point start. Scores are always close and around the 15-20 points mark. How many players do you want in your team? There's a dilemma! The clipboard holder enters one of the letters to note its area location. Dead simple, right? 90 minutes to do the hunt. We have the usual prizes of chocolate, including some great new varieties. There is also an equal prize for the funniest team name. Names win prizes too! So there’s everything to play for. We mark up at the hunt finish point. The Wetherspoon Metropolitan. Hunts are good fun and the proven experience so far is that members get to know each other better after working in teams as you all have to communicate. Great icebreakers. This is what Meetup is all about. Come and join us. There is a £7 cash/card charge for this event. Contact number on the day is 07422334411 if your transport is delayed. **If you can’t make it, please cancel using the “Edit RSVP Button”.** **Your consideration is greatly appreciated.**

A Rabble session is 1 hour of fun and social team games. Each game disguises high-intensity intervals within the rules, giving you an effective, all-body workout without even realising it. We play a bunch of different games at each session (like British Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Frisbee and many more), and every class is different. Sessions are open to all, no matter your sporting ability. Each game is explained before we start, so there's no need to have played any of the games before. Come solo or bring friends! And stay at the end for the social part! Who knew getting fit could be this fun? **HOW TO BOOK**: **It's essential that you book onto sessions via our website, using the link below**; due to restrictions on games and preparation times we cannot accept walk-ins, or late arrivals.

CIRCULAR WALK :- A SCENIC COUNTRYSIDE WALK IN KENT, taking in Knole Palace and its 1000 acre deerpark. We start and finish the walk in the Kentish town of Sevenoaks. FRESH AIR: Give up the city streets for a day and breathe some fresh air. Improve your overall fitness levels. Get out, explore and enjoy London's abundant and sometimes secret green spaces and forest areas, and surrounding coutryside. WALK START: Outside Sevenoaks National Rail Station. Trains from Charing Cross and Victoria in Central London. WALK DISTANCE : Approx 5 miles WALK FINISH: At a large pub in the town of Sevenoaks (10 minute walk to Sevenoaks Station). There are frequent trains back to London from Sevenoaks. Journey time 35 minutes to Charing Cross, or about an hour to Victoria. KNOLE PARK Knole Park contains the 365-roomed Knole House, a former archbishop's palace. The earliest recorded owner of the core of Knole estate, in the 1290s, was Robert de Knole. The mansion or palace ranks in the top five of England's largest houses, covering a total of four acres. Ownership of the palace alternated between various bishops and monarchs through the centuries including the Bishop of Durham, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer and the Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Bourchier, Henry VIII and Elizabeth 1. Henry often visited the estate for hunting deer. The current house dates back to the mid-15th century, with major additions in the 16th and, particularly, the early 17th centuries. Its grade I listing reflects its mix of late-medieval to Stuart structures. If travelling from Central London, you can catch the train from London Victoria (about 45 minutes train journey). RISKS: All the usual risks of countryside walking apply, including country stiles to be climbed. Please dress appropriately for weather conditions and carry a bottle of water and necessary medication. You need to be moderately fit for this walk and be able to walk for four miles without a break. In these walks we use; pavements, cross busy roads, public parkland, towpaths alongside water, other public paths, rights of way, bridlepaths, country lanes and other established paths and tracks through woodland, bush and countryside. Please only wear good sturdy shoes, preferably walking boots and take care as surfaces may be uneven, tree roots may protrude, there may be low overhanging branches and some paths are also used by joggers and cyclists and sometimes cars (country lanes). Some tracks may be muddy and slippery. If you require insurance for these walks then you must arrange this yourself. No dogs are allowed on this walk (wild deer park). COST: Free for holders of the Ken's Events Card. Otherwise there is a £5 fee. All Ken's Events are subject to a disclaimer.
