Fellowship

Meet out front at ten to 1pm (12:50) and go in together. Join Lester Hillman for a talk about John Harrison, master clockmaker. I have long been fascinated by historic issues with measuring longitude. Rather important for ships to know where they had sailed to! This problem couldn't be solved until clocks were accurate enough, and capable of functioning aboard ships. Please join me. RSVP as soon as you know, I still need to request more tickets. The attendance fee is £2.50, thank you.

**To kick off the weekend in style, we're excited to be bringing back one of our most unique Friday night socials... our latest Monopoly Pub Race.** If you didn't join us back in January for the last one - this team game is an exciting hybrid of a photo hunt, a pub crawl and the famous family board game, Monopoly. The game is played on a **virtual board consisting of 30 pubs** that are all within walking distance of each other in the heart of Central London. These pubs have been split into sets of 3 pubs, that have each been allocated a colour (e.g. green, red, yellow etc.) with different purchase prices, much like on a real monopoly board. The aim of the game is to race against the other teams to acquire pubs and be the first team to successfully accumulate two complete sets. In order to claim a property, your team will need to visit a pub on the board and at least one member of your team must order a drink in the pub to purchase the property. But this game isn't just about speed - it's about strategy as you will also be able to tactically “steal” properties from your rivals, as well as hinder them in their attempts to create sets. And over the course of the game, you will be able to monitor the live board to help you track your progress, spot opportunities, and keep a watchful eye on your competitors. If there is no clear winner when the time runs out, the team with the highest total property value will be crowned the champions, with great prizes up for grabs. But of course, it is not just about the game - the evening will also provide you with a chance to connect with lots of like-minded 20s and 30s, whilst enjoying an unforgettable start to the weekend. **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **WHERE/WHEN** Meet Point - Gilt of Cain, Fen Court Garden, Hogarth Ct, EC3M 5DL ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/JAphAzeWvxusNT4v5](https://maps.app.goo.gl/JAphAzeWvxusNT4v5)) Closest Tube station: Fenchurch Street (5 min walk), Aldgate (10 min walk), Monument (10 min walk) Start Time - 6:30pm Finish time: 10:30pm \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- **JOIN THE COMMUNITY** Set up in November 2021, The Great Friendship Project was set up to help young adults in their 20s and 30s meet, connect and hopefully build life-long friendships.

Every day you look at the news on your phone and you are shown a perspective on multiple events, vivid pictures, videos, and explanations that decide for you what to think. When you come out of your bubble and try to talk to others, you realise they have the wrong perspective. You assumed they saw the same undeniable evidence you did, with the same explanations. But each person is shown a perspective tailored to them, believable and convincing from where they stand. We moved from relying on our own eyes, to gossip, to the printing press, to radio and TV, and now to news customised to each individual. We moved from Plato's Cave, where we were all chained side by side experiencing the same shadows, to isolation, each of us with our own unique shadows. In Plato's Cave they were wrong together. Are we more lost being wrong alone? Is your bubble protecting you or trapping you? Can we build a shared world if we can't share a shared reality?

Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

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. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime. Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase is advised (GFC website preferred)! Please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. Showtimes and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
