Dining In & Dining Out

An in person writing group for writers of the weird, the wild, the dark and the dismissed. With a focus on Feminist and Queer stories, and a commitment to the chaos and joy of the writing life, we invite you to join us to work on your own projects. We will meet for two hours, on the second Saturday morning of each month. We will begin with a 15 minute catch up, followed by 45 minutes quiet writing, then a 15 minute break/chat, followed by a final 45 minutes of feedback on each other’s work if wanted, or further writing. Come join us, we’d love to have you!

It's an opportunity to meet others from in and around Croydon over a relaxed coffee or brunch, dished up by the great chef. All are welcome to this informal and relaxed monthly gathering of the great and good of Croydon. This is a social networking event and is not the place to pitch your business, dish out fliers or sign people up to services. Please contact organiser Ben if you would like to collaborate on something you feel is relevant to the group.

If you’ve ever wished you could bottle that “we met and instantly clicked” energy, this brunch is for you. At The Table: Brunch Club is a relaxed weekend meet up for people in their thirties and forties who love travel, good food and conversations that start naturally, not with awkward small talk. Think easy brunch plates, coffee (or cocktails, no judgement), and a table of people who get where you’re at in life. Come solo or bring a friend. Either way, you’ll end up chatting, laughing and wondering why making new friends as an adult isn’t always this simple. You’ll meet our co-founders, Sam and Sophie, hear a bit about what we’ve been building at It Started With a Trip, and spend a couple of hours with people who feel a lot like the ones you want in your mates circle. Good food, relaxed vibes and a Saturday morning that feels low effort. **Limited seats. £5 to save your spot.** Link to book your seat 👉 [https://www.itstartedwithatrip.com/event-details/at-the-table-brunch-club](https://www.itstartedwithatrip.com/event-details/at-the-table-brunch-club)

***Okay, call me crazy but you have got to try their chip n dip!*** Club 185 is a true hidden gem in German Village! Seriously, old school, good comfort food and drink. We will try to gather in spaces near the windows. While we'll share Chip n Dip, you'll want to order a sandwich, too. **Where the Chip Began (1817)** Potato chips can be traced back to an English chef, William Kitchiner, who includes ‘crisps’ in his bestselling cookbook, “The Cook’s Oracle.” **Chip and Dip Popularity** The popularity of chip and dip skyrockets at the end of World War II with new entertainment fads and the introduction of Lipton’s new advertising campaign for their famous French Onion Dip. (Club 185 doesn't openly admit it, but I'm pretty sure that's their dip recipe!) **[Club 185](http://club185.com/)**—a true neighborhood bar serving since 1954, when it was known as a local 'speak-easy'. Located in German Village, Club 185 features a menu of quality casual comfort food and full bar. From politicians to lawyers, hardhats to hipsters—all find Club 185 the perfect place to tame their hunger and quench their thirst! **PARKING**: I know, brick street parallel parking can be a pain. Two other choices, metered parking along Livingston heading towards Children's Hospital or across the street in the large church lot (park in spaces farthest away from the church entrance doors, closer to the street). **PRE-EVENT**: **HAPPY HOUR (3-5pm)**: Italian drinks and bites at [Cento's happy hour](https://centogermanvillage.com/menus/), nearby.
