HARD WOOD TREASURE BOX
HARD WOOD TREASURE BOX
**Bookable via our website โžก๏ธ** [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/hard-wood-treasure-box-12/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/hard-wood-treasure-box-12/) **โ‹†โ‹†โ‹†** **Make a Hard Wood Treasure Box** Fridays 10-5 PM- see dates below. **Suitable for beginners.** **Small class size.** **Supervised use of woodwork machinery.** **Learn how to use jigs and rods.** **Solid wood carcass construction.** **The use of tools and materials included.** A two-day course โ€“ Consecutive Fridays 10AMโ€”5PM This is a content-rich two-day course in a very small class size. From a technical drawing and a length of timber to the final sanding of the completed box, expert furniture maker and tutor, Marcin Waszak will guide each learner through all the steps needed to create this hardwood treasure box. The box measures 330mm by 304mm by 180mm and can be used to store lots of special things. The course begins by explaining how to stay safe while using our professional and powerful woodworking machines. Marcin will talk you through the materials and tools you will be using and let you practice before beginning the project. We have created a cutting list so that each person can learn how to process the wood and begin making very quickly. If you hanker to use some big machines and learn how to use jigs and to work accurately from plans, this is a great course for you. **Steps to making your own Treasure Box:** 1. Student introductions, inspirations and knowledge. 2. Introduction to the project. 3. Health and Safety. 4. Understanding the materials and tools we will be using in this course (wood technology, proper usage of the tools, jigs). 5. Practice on how to use the tools and jigs in the workshop. 6. Cutting list. 7. Making. Each student will be provided with printed technical drawing Marcin says: โ€˜I will approach the sessions with a solid introduction not only to Health and Safety but to give an understanding of materials and tools. I believe itโ€™s important to understand the nature of different types of wood and how it reacts (i.e. depending on variety, cut or thickness) when handling it, glueing or using different tools. There will be a great focus on how to use tools and machinery in the correct way for best results. We will be starting from technical drawing explanation and introduction to the material and the design itself. I will love to know peopleโ€™s backgrounds before we start the session so everyone will feel more comfortable and confident to work as a team. I will have prepared a cutting list to make things easier and so we can start making (and having fun) as soon as possible. I would like to make the sessions inclusive and provide a safe space for everyone. I always take peopleโ€™s abilities into account and endeavour to be there for students that want to share their struggles in order to make the making experience something they can enjoy.โ€™ About Marcin Marcin Waszak (MA Product and Furniture design) is a designer, maker and teacher at the accredited Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford. He is a passionate and patient tutor. Note: Missing a class โ€“ this is a content-rich class and it will not be easy to catch up or redo a missed day, so please consider this when contemplating joining the course.

Wet January - The Annual CBGB Bermondsey Beer Mile crawl returns for 2026
Wet January - The Annual CBGB Bermondsey Beer Mile crawl returns for 2026
January is shit, isn't it? Everyone is mentally, emotionally and financially exhausted after Christmas. The weather is just grey and drizzly. Everyone is on a diet. Most of your friends are doing Dry January. The gym will be heaving for the next six weeks. If you happen to have a birthday in January then nobody wants to go out and do anything because theyโ€™re broke, sober or trying Veganuary (or perhaps even all three, for the true trifecta of misery). On top of all of this, we are mere weeks away from the shiny promise of the new year dissolving into familiar, crushing disappointment. Because of all of this, your favourite small craft breweries, bars and pubs have a tough time this month. The good news is that we can all collectively do something to help them out, and all we have to do is drink beer! The CBGB Annual Dry January Bermondsey Beer Mile MeetUp is back for 2026. Welcome to Wet January. When: Saturday 17th January 2026 Kick-off time: 2pm Proposed route: **ยท Southwark Brewing Company (46 Druid Street) โ€“ 2pm-3pm** **ยท Anspach & Hobday (The Arch House) (118 Druid Street) โ€“ 3:10pm โ€“ 4:10pm** **ยท Cloudwater (73 Enid Street) โ€“ 4:20pm โ€“ 5:30pm** **ยท The Kernel Brewery (132 Spa Road) โ€“ 5:40 โ€“ 7:00pm** Afterwards, should anyone still wish to, then suggest we head to **Craft Beer Junction (86 Enid Street).** The whole route is roughly a mile to walk and there will be around a 5 minute walk in between venues. Anspach & Hobday are happy for you to bring food in from the market on nearby Maltby Street and the Kernel have a proper kitchen serving food with a rotating residency โ€“ I believe it is a Japanese-inspired menu currently. There is also usually a food truck outside one of the other taprooms on Enid Street that sells pizza.
Prosperity & Good Fortune Crystal Blessing
Prosperity & Good Fortune Crystal Blessing
This is a gentle crystal rite, blessing the receiver with prosperity and good fortune for the year ahead. Using twin crystals, Dr. Jackie works to realign your energetic structure into flow with blessings, opportunity, and grace. One crystal is held by both practitioner and recipient, creating a clear current of giving and receiving. Through an ancient mantra, the crystals are awakened and set to work, blessing your field with good fortune across all areas of life. You are invited to set an intention for the year ahead: in love, business, abundance, joy, or grace. People often experience warmth, expansion, clarity, and a deep sense of grounding. This healing introduces the power of crystal blessing, anchoring openness and forward momentum for the path ahead. **Important Information:** * These are *individual 30-minute sessions*, available over the course of the day. To book and confirm your session, you must register and pay in advance at this link: [https://jacquelinenonweiler.as.me/goodfortune](https://jacquelinenonweiler.as.me/goodfortune). * Please come with an intention or area of life that you'd like to bring prosperity to! We will briefly refine this when you arrive if it is helpful. * Please be punctual. * The energy exchange is ยฃ30 per person, or 2 for ยฃ50 using the code "FRIEND" at checkout.

Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, weโ€™ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. Weโ€™ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

Happy 8th Birthday, GOhio! @ Pins Mechanical!!! ๐ŸŽ‚ ๐ŸŽˆ ๐Ÿจ ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿง ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿฅณ ๐Ÿฐ ๐Ÿช… ๐Ÿ“…
*GOhio!* turns 8!! ๐Ÿฅณ Come celebrate with us at [Pins Mechanical](https://www.pinsbar.com/locations/easton)! ๐Ÿ˜„ **Summary** Pins Mechanical Co. is a social entertainment venue that combines old-school games like duckpin bowling, pinball, and other classic arcade and table games with craft cocktails, local beers, and punch. The vintage-industrial atmosphere is designed for playful, face-to-face gatherings with friends, family, and colleagues, offering a casual and lively alternative to a typical bar. Pins' Easton location spans over 38,000 square feet, making it the largest in the United States. This massive entertainment venue features two floors, a mezzanine level with stadium seating, and three full-service bars. It offers 16 duckpin bowling lanes, two indoor bocce courts, and more than 60 classic and modern pinball and arcade games. For additional fun, the location is known for its two outdoor patios, an indoor slide, and an expanded patio pong setup. **Activities** As noted below, some machines take actual quarters. Pins has two change machines (one downstairs and one upstairs) that accept ones, fives, or tens (only), and return quarters (only). * *Duckpin Bowling* [Like Bowling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckpin_bowling) but with smaller balls, stubby pins, and no oil on the lanes. The cost is $9 per game per person. * *Pinball* [Who](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who)'s a [wizard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Wizard) on these [retro machines](https://pinballmap.com/map/?by_location_id=15311)? At $1 per play, everyone! Takes quarters. * *Arcade* Play classics like Gorf, Pac-Man, Gorf, Donkey Kong, Gorf, Galaga, and Gorf! The best part is, there's Gorf! And all the arcade games are free! * *Patio Pong* The classic college party staple but bigger. Instead of tossing a ping pong ball into cups, you use a regular ball and oversized buckets. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Ping Pong* The most popular sport in China! They have two ping pong tables downstairs and two more ping pong tables upstairs. For those of you who have studied topological spaces and set theory, you will know this means they have four total ping pong tables. They have bubble gum dispensers with ping pong balls in them for 25ยข each. The dispensers take quarters. However, they also have racks where they store the ping pong paddles, and in these racks are slots for ping pong balls. It's not uncommon to see balls already here, so there's a chance you may be able to play ping pong for free if you want to. * *Hookie* You can't put your eye out! The safe alternative to darts: Hook thrown rings on a board. Outdoors on the upstairs patio, and free! * *Bocce* Like bowling, except thereโ€™s turf and a lot more balls. You can also knock your opponentโ€™s balls out of the way. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Foosball* Everyone loves [foosball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_football)! 50ยข a game. Takes quarters. * *Giant Jenga* Stack massive wooden blocks into a tower, then take turns pulling out one block at a time without collapsing the tower. There are four of these sprinkled throughout the venue (two downstairs and two upstairs, with one on each patio), and they're all free! * *Skeeball* There are three skeeball machines on the first floor (near the Gorf machine!), and they're all free! * *Giant Connect Four* On the outdoor patio upstairs, and free! * *Bubble Hockey* This is upstairs. Up to four people can play at once, and it costs $1. Takes quarters. * *Cornhole* There are two cornhole lanes upstairs, and they're both free! * *Basketball* There are two basketball machines downstairs. They're tucked behind the downstairs bar, so they're not always obvious unless you go look for them. They're $2 per play, and they take quarters. * *NES and Sega Genesis video games* These are collections, downstairs (near the Gorf machine!), of video games that you can play for free! * *The Big Metal Indoor Slide* This large two-story slide is for kids, and certainly no adults would ride this. After all, it's not like it's free or anything. **Outdoor Patio** Pins at Easton actually has two outdoor patios. But for our purposes, only the upstairs one matters. See, it will be winter and likely cold. But their upstairs patio has multiple ceiling heaters and two massive gas fire pits that put out a ton of heat. Sitting out here may be a real option. As mentioned above, the upstairs outdoor patio has one of the venue's two Patio Pong setups, one of their multiple Giant Jengas, the Giant Connect Four, and Hookie. **Food** Pins doesn't serve food, but there's a [Mikey's Late Night Slice](https://www.latenightslice.com/) next door. This Mikey's is basically an extension of the Easton Pins; there's a large open doorway between both establishments. Mikey's has a fountain dispenser with Coke products. You can also get Coke and Diet Coke (but not Coke Zero, like you can at Mikey's) at the bars in Pins, but I think the quality of the soda pop from Mikey's fountain is better than that from the bar hoses Pins uses to dispense soft drinks. You are also quite allowed at Pins to either bring food in or order it in via your favorite delivery app. **Parking** I recommend parking in the [Worth Garage](https://eastontowncenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/parking-at-easton-updated-file-sept-25.pdf). It's literally right next door to Pins, and it's free as long as you park on Level 2 or above. They recently started charging people to park on Level 1, and you pay for parking on this level the same way you pay for street parking in Columbus, with the [ParkColumbus](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parkmobile.parkcolumbus&hl=en_US&pli=1) app. I've seen them enforce this by ticketing people's cars, but I don't know how they actually compel payment. The garage is not a public street that actual cops can write you tickets for parking illegally on. If you have an actual ticket from a cop that you don't pay, they can go so far as to issue a warrant for your arrest. But all Easton has, seemingly, is, "[Please pay our ticket](https://eastonpreferredpark.com/)." Still, in my ongoing efforts to eliminate needless stress and aggravation from my life, I just park above the first Level. The actual address of the garage is [4049 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4049+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388a86de3af559:0xc1dc8b4661fc834f!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11sgzjp4ml?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDkyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). However, your GPS is stupid. The actual entrances to the garage are on the cross steets Brighton Rose Way and Fenlon St, not Worth Ave. Just keep this in mind once you get to the garage. **Where we'll meet** I'll post in the comments where I am. People will obviously want to explore different areas of the venue over the course of the event (and there's a lot to explore), but please just let me know (as in, come find me) once you've arrived. **Peroration** Come on out and say hi! ๐Ÿ˜„

Columbus Code & Coffee 82 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee 82 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
