Over the last nine years, Silverfit has been able to offer exercise to everyone over 50 in Brockwell Park. Together with Silverfit, I have done my best to keep the exercise fun for everyone, no matter if you are fit or not so fit, strong or not so strong, sporty or not so sporty. And, over all, I think we have done that pretty well! We have had some glorious years, and we made many, many friends over that time. Silverfit managed to keep it going through the good times and the hard Covid years, but unfortunately, the reality of the current economic climate is hitting Silverfit hard. Many councils and charities that have supported Silverfit over the years have stopped funding, and without funding, Silverfit just simply cannot keep going. Recently, they have had to take the hard decision to cut quite a number of their activities, and unfortunately, Nordic Walking in Brockwell park is one of the sessions that needs to be stopped. Yesterday afternoon was our last session for Silverfit. But…. I aim to keep your Tuesday walk going! So many of you love our Tuesday session, and it would just be too sad to stop completely. I would like to keep the Silver Tuesday session going under my own company, Fit and Happy Outdoors. Sadly, I cannot do this for free, as I do need to make a living. But in order to keep this session available for everyone, I plan to keep our Tuesday afternoon session at a highly reduced rate compared to my normal rates. New rates for our Silver Tuesday walks: 10 sessions for £45 (my normal rate is 10 sessions for £90). For those of you who struggle financially, I am happy to reduce this rate to £30, or even offer it for free. I can of course only do this if enough of you pay the normal rate, and I trust you will only ask for a reduction if you really need it. As I said, I do this for my living, but I don’t want money to be the reason you miss out on the benefits of Nordic Walking and spending time with our lovely group of friends. If you are already a member of Fit and Happy Outdoors and you pay monthly, then the Tuesday session is included in your fee. No extra payment is necessary (unless you’d like to sponsor someone who cannot pay) How does it work? 1) Please email me at Ailien at Fitandhappyoutdoors dot com, and let me know if you agree with me sending you an invoice for the full rate, or if you need a reduced rate. 2) I will then send you an invoice with my bank details on it. 3) Once I have received your payment in my bank account, I will hand you a 10-session card at the first session I see you 4) Every time you come walking on Tuesday, I will stamp your card 5) Once you have walked 10 times, I will send you a new invoice for the next 10. Payment: I really, really, prefer bank transfers. If you really do not do bank transfers, then you can pay me in cash. No cheques please (I really try to avoid having to go to the bank, it is just too much hassle). If you or a friend only comes once in a very blue moon, then they can pay £5 in cash for the session (only banknotes please. Help a girl out, I do enough weightlifting already ) Are you a walk leader? You are always welcome and do not have to pay me. I am grateful for your help! Do we still need to sign up? 1) Have your own poles? No need to sign up. But, if there is a weather warning, please check in with me as I might have to cancel and if I don’t know you are planning to come, I might not be able to tell you it’s cancelled 2) Happy to use the Meetup app, then sign up for your walk here? If you sign in, I will know you are planning to come, and it will be easy for me to let you know if I do need to cancel a session. 3) Need to borrow poles from me? Please text me ON THE DAY OF THE WALK to ask me to bring a set. My number is 078 078 3456 4. Just use normal text, no Whatsapp please, as I will probably miss your message. Any questions? Feel free to reply to this email, or text me on the number above.

Come and learn from our speakers: Erin, Jon, Tom and Jandira. **Erin Simmons (They / Them)** [Erin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinsimmonsfreelance/) is Managing Director at the Women in Tech SEO community - focused on democratising successful careers through connection, education, opportunities, & amplification. With 15+ years in marketing and analytics, they now focus on better understanding people and connecting them to the relationships and resources that support them most. Erin will speak about: * **Trust → Visibility: SEO Powered by Community** You can AI-engineer your content and website all day, but even if you show up in the answers, you still won’t be chosen if people don’t trust you. Trust isn’t built between a person and a brand; it’s built in the communities, conversations, and human spaces where people help each other make sense of the world. In this talk, Erin Simmons explores the growing trust gap in search and why the real SEO edge comes from showing up where trust is being exchanged. * When you earn trust, people make you visible -- they reference you in conversations, recommend you in threads, and surface you in the exact places AI and search engines now look for signals. Visibility is a byproduct of trust. * And if you focus on trust first, you’ll show up everywhere that matters: in AI results, in search, and in the moments when people turn to one another to decide what to believe. **Jonathan Moore** [Jonathan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/moorejonathan/) is an independent SEO and analytics consultant based in Cheltenham. With over 15 years of experience, including six years heading up the SEO and analytics for one of the UK's largest independent digital marketing agencies, he has got a knack for digging into the details to find what really matters. He has a degree in Computer Science and works with large data sets, APIs, and scripts the form the backbone of his business.

Jonathan will speak about: **Measuring search disruption: What metrics matter and who needs to know them** * This talk is for SEOs who need to understand and communicate the impact of emerging AI-driven search disruptors, including LLMs and AI Overviews. * The audience will learn which metrics genuinely matter and how to communicate the right insights to the right stakeholders at the right moment. * The takeaway is practical advice for measuring disruption that supports sound decisions without getting lost in hyper-tactical detail. **Tom Sangers** [Tom](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-sangers-b016819/) is Founder & CEO of Metric Hub Digital, With over 20 years of hands-on experience in digital marketing, Tom brings a broad yet deeply practical skill set spanning PPC, SEO, and Paid Social. As the founder of Metric Hub, he works closely with eCommerce brands to build performance-led strategies that scale profitably, always focusing on real outcomes rather than vanity metrics. Tom will speak about: **Reddit: Turning Communities into Customers** Reddit isn’t niche anymore, it's mainstream attention at scale. \- Usage is real\, and the time\-spent is *sticky*: people don’t skim, they read, compare, and come back. Reddit also gets everywhere, in feeds, links in group chats, and “best of” threads ranking in Google when people want honest answers. For brands, the win is **paid + organic in harmony**. \- Paid gets you discovered and captures demand fast\. \- Organic builds the proof: helpful posts\, credible comments\, answers that match what your ads promise\. \- When they align\, Reddit drives awareness **and** trust and turns curiosity into conversions. Let's look at a few strategies, to bring Reddit to the mainstream **Jandira Neto** [Jandira](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jandira-neto/) is an SEO Manager at Jellyfish, specialising in optimising digital SEO strategies to achieve exceptional results.

**Note:** we are only going to be reading the 12 stories in the original 1965 edition of Cosmicomics, not the later stories which may be included in some editions under the title 'The Complete Cosmicomics'. See end of description for the list of 12 stories. **Description:** Italo Calvino's enchanting stories about the evolution of the universe, with characters that are fashioned from mathematical formulae and cellular structures. **'Naturally, we were all there, - dld Qfwfq said, - where else could we have been? Nobody knew then that there could be space. Or time either: what use did we have for time, packed in there like sardines?'** The Cosmicomics tell the story of the history of the universe, from the big bang, through millennia and across galaxies. It is witnessed through the eyes of 'cosmic know-it-all' Qfwfq, an exuberant, chameleon-like figure, who takes the shape of a dinosaur, a mollusc, a steamer captain and a moon milk gatherer, among others. Italo Calvino's funny, whimsical and delightful stories blend scientific fact, flights of fancy, parody and wordplay to show the strangeness and the wonders of the world. **List of stories:** 1.) The Distance of the Moon 2.) At Daybreak 3.) A Sign in Space 4.) All at One Point 5.) Without Colours 6.) Games Without End 7.) The Aquatic Uncle 8.) How Much Shall We Bet? 9.) The Dinosaurs 10.) The Form of Space 11.) The Light-Years 12.) The Spiral

Disguised as the perfect candidate to try and snag a position in a company where they can espionage away! Recruitment is the first point of contact for all candidates so in this talk I will go over how I recognise fraudulent candidates without descending into unfounded bias. I’ll go over some recent examples and give some practical guidance of what you can do if you are not sure that the person opposite you is who they say they are. **"Vesta Admin Takeover - Exploiting reduced seed entropy in bash $RANDOM" - Adrian Tiron** Vesta is a lightweight, web-based control panel that simplifies Linux server management, appealing to users seeking an intuitive alternative to traditional platforms like cPanel and Plesk. This presentation will examine a critical flaw in Vesta: an admin takeover exploit resulting from reduced seed entropy in the Bash $RANDOM variable. By transforming what was once a theoretical attack into a practical one, we successfully reduced the brute force domain of the seed by over 98%. This allows attackers to generate predictable random values, compromising the security of passwords and tokens. We will discuss the implications of this vulnerability and highlight best practices for enhancing server security in real-world applications. **"Securing AI Agents: Identity Strategies for Safe API Access"** **\- Gary Archer** As organizations adopt AI-driven tools and workflows, new security challenges arise around how AI agents securely access APIs. In this session, Gary explores how best practices for connecting AI agents to APIs are evolving, and outlines the essential identity and security building blocks organizations should put in place for the emerging AI era. The talk focuses on architectural principles and patterns rather than specific vendors or products. **SPEAKERS:** **Mariya Hristova** A People and Talent Leader who has been building tech teams across large orgs and startups for 10 years. An enthusiastic amateur in all things tech, but with a personal crusade to help improve UX and UI in open source tools. If we want to usher in the year of the penguin, we have to pay attention to that stuff! In my spare time I like to break HR Tech or volunteer my time and knowledge to help companies and candidates/employees meet each other in right way. **Adrian Tiron** Adrian Tiron is a Co-Founder & Principal Pentester/Red Teamer at FORTBRIDGE with 20 years of experience in cybersecurity. He has a proven track record of success working with top companies in the UK, US, and Europe.

Ever look up and marvel with insatiable curiosity at both the beauty and wonder of the **universe?** That wild sobering thought that somewhere in the chaos of creation - the emergence of life - the universe became **conscious** enough to look back and ask the existential questions; How it all started, our evolution and place in it, and where else in the cosmos other complex life might exist (we know almost every star you see has planets orbiting with up to **20 billion habitable exoplanets** easily in our galaxy alone!)? Then RSVP to view the potential life harbouring moons of **Jupiter**, comets, the famous **Orion Nebula** where stars like our sun were born, the majestic rings of **Saturn**, the international space station, well known star fields, remnants of **supernova** witnessed by our early ancestors, multi-star solar systems (think the double sun in Starwars), the Tau Ceti star with **2 Earth like planets** orbiting in the habitable zone, plus a range of other fascinating celestial wonderments (comets, galaxies) over drinks and engaging chats and banter this Jan fully hosted by a passionate amateur astronomer and former global Journalist covering big picture stories including cutting edge science related ones. In between observing - we'll have **drinks and engaging chats** on all astronomy related topics for those inclined - space exploration, Fermi Paradox, Astrobiology, Cosmology, paleontology, SETI/Drake Equation (I have my own augmented version giving more realistic estimates of likely alien civilisations!), exoplanetology etc as well as non space chatter and banter too. No doubt we'll hear the usual jokes we've all heard before! If those don't make you laugh, my impersonation of Los Angeles ET will! And to help set the mood and make the night feel even extra galactic, I’ll put my DJ hat to play some space‑themed tunes and songs about the stars! **======= Joining Astronomers Group & Telescopes =======** I'm able to take a limited number of people (please only RSVP if you can make it) to join my friendly informal relaxed London amateur astronomers' club that have been for over a decade with their regulars made up of up to about 150 people. As there will be people attending from this private Astronomers group as well as others from one of my other groups - the total attendees will be far higher than rsvps here and the public liability insurance only covers a max number of people - hence I need to impose strict limits on attendance. Over the years we have enjoyed numerous social evenings of stargazing and thought provoking chatter with people of all ages and varying levels of astronomy knowledge - so complete beginners that are genuinely curious about the universe are very welcome. If you are just looking to meet generic randoms then there are others groups that will better cater for that. The world renowed **BBC Television Sky at Night** also attended our events pre covid and interviewed some of us for it's show that aired on BBC1 in Feb 2019. BBC **Radio London** (94.9 FM / digital) were there Aug 2023 to cover our meteor shower event broadcasting live to millions of Londoners for 3 hours You don't need a telescope as you will be able to view through scopes belonging to me and other club members (as long as you behave responsibly and don't temper with expensive equipment). If you have your own telescope/binoculars feel free to bring along and I can help you setting it up if you're a newbie **==== Food & Drinks With Seating From Warm Indoor Cafe ====** Alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, cider only), hot drinks and food/snacks will be available to purchase from an indoor cafe at the observation point which Regent's park keep open exclusively for the astronomers group so please don't bring your own drinks **==== ITINERARY =====** We will meet outside Camden Station. After a short wait for anyone delayed, I will escort everyone to our observation point in the local park 15 minutes walk away and brief you in terms of what to expect, observing etiquette, tips, equipment handling and take any questions you have - weather general or astronomy/cosmology related. **After Drinks:** Unless I have a very important 9AM Thursday deadline for a client presentation or something that I'm still gonna be writing 2 mins before start - most of us usually head our way back to Camden for another drink. If so - I will annouce the pub when we leave the park **==== What Can You Expect To See (this time of year)? ====** * Orion Nebula * Jupiter and 4 moons * Meteors * Andromedia Galaxy * Saturn, rings & moon * Star clusters such as the Pleiades & Owl Cluster etc * International Space station fly by * Venus & Mercury * Binary & tripple star systems (think planet *Tatooine in* Starwars!), * Neptune * Uranuus * Mars * Our moon * A look towards the galactic centre where that supermassive £22b Labour black hole sits (Sagittarius A) More here from Jodrell Bank Observatory/Astrophysics Centre: [http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/](http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/) Guide to viewing the cosmos for beginners: [https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp](https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp) **===Weather Dependent=====** The event is subject to clear skies forecasts on the night so if on the actual afternoon of the event the weather forecasts looks unsuitable beyond doubt then I will postpone so please check the event status on the day of the event .
