**UPDATE FOR FEB-APRIL 2026:** For February - end of April 2026 the host of this event will be away. It will still be happening every week, but will be a self-running group. If you are a regular - please welcome any newcomers and be prepared to set the 1 hour timer. If you are a newcomer, the group is usually easy to find (the table/s with notebooks and laptops), and the bar staff know where we are if you can't spot us first time. Happy writing! **\~** Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 18:00 on Wednesday afternoons/evenings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 18:00 - Quick introductions 18:15 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 19:15 - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 19:30. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at the Peckham Pelican! What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons. **Other Important Details:** \- If you arrive and can't figure out who we are \(usually the table with a lot of laptops and notebooks\)\, feel free to ask the bar staff who will point you in the right direction\. \- Many of our participants found the event through other means\, so please don't be put off by a low attendance number on MeetUp\! \- The Pelican has some\, but not many\, charging points\, so make sure laptops are charged and perhaps bring a notebook just in case\. \- The WiFi is also very poor \(non\-existent\)\, but most have found that to be a good thing\. Make sure to download or turn on 'offline mode' if working on a computer\. \- Please thank our hosts by purchasing something \(The pizzas are fantastic\, and we write during happy hour \- two for one on cocktails\!\)

Нас ждет одно из красивейших мест Великобритании — группа меловых скал **Seven Sisters** («Семь сестер»). 🏔. Она расположена на юго-востоке Англии, между городами Истбурн и Брайтон. Сюда приезжают романтики 👩‍❤️‍👨, самоубийцы и съемочные группы 🎥. Так, местные красоты попали в кадр серии «Искры из глаз» про Джеймса Бонда0️⃣0️⃣7️⃣. Секретный агент прыгал с парашютом со скалы. По сценарию, действие происходило на Гибралтаре, однако сцену снимали именно здесь. Также здесь снимались сцены фильма «Робин Гуд: Принц воров»🧝🏻 с участием Кевина Костнера. Свое поэтическое название скалы получили в честь греческих плеяд. Согласно легендам, у Атланта и Плейоны было семь дочерей🧝🏻‍♀️ — Майя, Алкиона, Электра, Меропа, Стеропа, Келено и Тайгета. Все, кроме одной, вышли замуж за богов. Только Меропа выбрала простого смертного — Сизифа. Правда, супруг, царь Коринфа🤴🏻, оказался преступником. Его в последствии отправили в ад🔥 и приговорили к каторжным работам — постоянно поднимать в гору булыжник. Эти сестры стали звездами 🌟 (как это произошло неизвестно — версии расходятся). Но факт в том, что шесть звезд светят ярко, а одну (бывшую Меропу) трудно заметить. Ей стыдно за неверный выбор. Так и со скалами 🧗‍♀️: 6 отчетливо видны, а вот седьмую должен кто-нибудь показать 👉🏻. Кстати, оказывается, что на самом деле утесов восемь. Здесь очень красиво! Особенно привлекательно место для романтиков💘. Согласитесь, маяк — это очень романтично. А здесь их два! Первый, Belle Tout, построили в 1828 году из-за постоянных кораблекрушений,🚢 происходивших в XVII-XVIII веках. Сначала он был деревянным, но через семь лет его заменили на каменный🧱. Новый маяк Beachy Head начал работать в 1902 году. Его высота составляла 43 метра, что было достаточным для ⚓️ моряков. До 1983 года маяком управляли 3 человека, но затем процесс полностью 🕹 автоматизировали. Beachy Head расположен в воде так, что до него трудно добраться. 📝План поездки: 📍**08:45 Встреча** у отеля **[Hotel Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/isJaR8654Y62),** 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (рядом с Hammersmith Station) 📍11:00 — 12:00 Прогулка по пляжу Seaford 📍12:00 — 13:30 Местный паб «[The Cuckmere Inn»](https://www.vintageinn.co.uk/restaurants/south-east/thecuckmereinnseaford?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gmb), обед с видом на парк Seven Sisters 📍14:00 — 15:00 Остановка на побережье Ла-Манша (Birling Gap) у кафе с лестницей для спуска к морю, прогулка к мысу [Beachy Head](https://www.beachyhead.org.uk/) и маякам 📍15:30 — 16:30 Жемчужина города променад Eastbourne и прогулка вдоль моря 📍16:30 Отправление 📍18:45 London, Hammersmith 👣 Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. ✅ Включено в стоимость: ⚜️Аудиогид на русском ⚜️Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️Профессиональный водитель с курсами IAM/RoSPA ⚜️Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ❌Не включено: ❌Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌[Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌[Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – переносы броней без потерь, [выбор посадочного](https://evebus.com/ru/seating-plan) места ❌Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников 🎒Что взять с собой: ☑️Воду/еду по желанию ☑️Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️Хорошее настроение 🙂 ✳️Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.

A chance to try a flying lesson! Feel the adrenaline rush as you take the controls of a light aircraft and soar across the sky above the English countryside while learning what it’s like to actually pilot a plane with this 30 Minute Flying Lesson in a Cessna airplane. You will have a 30-minute Flying lesson with an instructor, overall your individual session will be an hour as you get prepared and chat to your pilot before. We have booked for 10 lessons on the day and may be able to take a couple more based on availability. Time slots will be give out closer to the time, but overall we plan to head down together, and can get train/taxi to the venue. **About the Lesson** You’ll receive one-to-one tuition from a Civil Aviation Authority-licensed instructor, meaning you’ll have expert guidance in getting to grips with the controls during every moment in the air. You’ll have unbeatable views across the surrounding area, but we don’t blame you if you want to stay focussed on the world ahead of your windscreen as you’re thousands of feet above the ground! What you’ll learn will depend on your chosen location, but all of your flying time will still count towards a Private Pilot’s Licence should you be a budding flying hobbyist and planning to take to the skies again. Exhilarating, awe-inspiring and breath-taking all at once, this is an experience you’ll want to try again as soon as it’s over! **On the day** Your flying lesson starts with a pre-flight briefing from your qualified instructor. This will cover safety, and an introduction to some of the controls. Once in the plane, you are given headphones so that you can hear conversations between your instructor and air traffic control. You will also be able to communicate with each other so you can be guided through your first lesson. Once in the air, you will be able to take the controls but your pilot will take over to land the plane at the airfield and taxi back. **What to do:** * Ask questions, your instructor will be happy to answer them * Wear sensible shoes and clothing * Switch off your mobile ‘phone * Remove and sharp or loose objects from your pockets * Wait to be escorted to the aircraft * Avoid the propellor at all times, even when stopped * Assist your instructor in the air by keeping a good lookout for other aircraft * Avoid embarrassment and say if you start to feel unwell **What else do I need to know?** * A camera may be carried provided that a wrist-strap secures it * Any bags should be left with your companions or at reception * Your instructor will explain the operation of seats, harnesses and doors * In the event of an emergency please vacate the aircraft to the rear and continue to a safe distance * Should you have any queries regarding these briefing notes, our reception staff and your instructor will be happy to clarify * Maximum Weight limit is 18 stone **Location** Staplefield Airfield Ongar Rd, Romford RM4 1SJ **Travel** We can get the Train/Elizabeth Line to Romford Station. From there we can get 375 bus to the airfield (or can share a taxi from Romford) Can post week before plan and also flight times, would be good to head down together as a group to do experience together and there is a cafe on site can grab lunch/tea and coffees to chat in between. If you are driving down let us know **Schedule** 12:30m - Arrive at the Airfield 1:00pm - 4:00pm - 30 mins Flying Lessons (Various slots across this 3 hour period, will message 2 weeks before with the slots) 4:00pm + Tea/Coffee / Lunch discuss experience and head back to London **Cost** Total cost for this Meetup which includes Flying Lesson is **£135 ONLY** We will need £50 Deposit to hold your spot and final payment 2 weeks before: https://buy.stripe.com/14k5kNaFSelu0mY154 Note this will be for Total of **12 X People Only** for back to back Slots (3 Lessons at a time as there are 3 instructors per time slot) Look forward to sharing this experience with you!

TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYsnngkS_U BUZZ AND REVIEWS: The buzz and reviews for PROJECT HAIL MARY are off-the-charts good! The film is earning a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it an “old school blockbuster crowd-pleaser” and “a new sci-fi classic!” It’s “deeply hopeful,” well-acted,” funny,” “dramatic,” and “exceptionally rousing throughout!” Others call it “something truly magical” and one that “we’ll be talking about this one for decades to come!” And I believe Slashfilm says it best: “It will lift up and squeeze your heart, crack you up with laughter, and give you a sense of hope and wonder in a way that few movies have been able to inspire.” MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 2:30pm SuperScreen DLX showing and meet in the lobby area between 2:05 and 2:15pm!

Jewish Anne Frank hid in 1942 from the Nazis during the occupation of the Netherlands; two years later, she was discovered and died in 1945 at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Afterward, continue your cultural journey with a visit to the renowned Van Gogh Museum.

Make sure to have your camera ready to capture all of the vibrant colors and unique displays at the Keukenhof Garden!

Free at Bexley Library Adventures in Ecological Horticulture with Rebecca McMackin Wednesday, March 18 1:00pm - 2:30pm Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens. Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically. Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden. She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY. Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches. She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.
