London Bridge Writers' Group - Pub Meet
**The Talbot Room at the George Inn**
The George provides the room free of charge (they are awesome), and we encourage you to purchase drinks (and food – the burgers are great!). As it’s a pub and not a picnic area, please don’t consume your own food and drink there.
We usually meet in the Talbot room which is on the top floor on the left hand side of the pub as viewed from the courtyard. If lost please send a message here shortly before the meeting starts.
**We are sorry to say that there is no step-free access to the Talbot room, and it is at the end of three flights of stairs.**
**Format**
We start at 7pm and run until 9pm. We hear approximately six readings of 10 minutes (\~2000 words), then discuss the piece for 10 minutes. Email your work to: london60transmitter@emailitin.com as an attachment (It must be an attachment). A link for access to googledocs will be given at the start of each session to enable people to read along, which in turn enables more considered feedback. Work submitted will be automatically deleted after 10 days. We decide on readers/pieces at the beginning of each session.
**Safe and respectful space**
The group is run by volunteers, and we don’t have the capacity to read submitted work in advance. If there is anything in your work that might distress or disturb some readers, for example concerning any kind of abuse, please give a trigger warning before you read. Be specific and concise. If it becomes apparent during a reading that a piece is inappropriate, the moderator will stop the reading. In discussing others’ work, please be mindful of how you express yourself and do not use discriminatory language, even if such language features in the piece.

Fiction Feedback Workshop
Writers, learn more about writing fiction well through our constructive feedback, comradery and lively discussion. You'll be amazed at what you can learn by listening, and sharing your own words once you feel ready. No pressure.
In our regular feedback workshops, we have three writers sharing a sample of their writing for immediate feedback, advice and encouragement. Critique is led and moderated by your host Lisa Goll.
Listening to the writing of others and the feedback their piece receives on the night is how we learn. We've been running these sessions since 2010 and there's a reason they fill up so fast! Usually, our workshops are limited to a group of 15 writers in total. Three reading; the rest listening, commenting and giving feedback.
For people reading, pieces must be **3,500 words or less** as you'll have about 45mins for reading and discussion on your excerpt from around the table. Most people bring 3,500 words from their novel or a short story of all genres and styles. If you'd like to read, please **post a comment below**. ***You must have booked your place before making a request to read.***
If you are reading, **please bring enough printed copies (at least 10)** of your pages so members can make additional feedback/editing notes for you during the reading. All copies will be returned to you after the feedback has concluded.
New members are always welcome in these groups. Most people come along to a few sessions before offering feedback, commenting or requesting to read but it's up to you. If you want to read right away, great, but if you want to come along and see how we roll first, that makes sense too. Again, you'll be surprised by how much you can learn from others by listening to the pieces and their feedback.
After the workshop, most of us head to the bar for a social drink or two and extended conversation about the highs and woes of writing.
**TICKETS:** £15.00 and please follow the steps to pay via PayPal when you RSVP. Ticket price pays for workshop fees, planning, hosting and organising which involve time and effort. A community of 4,500+ writers takes time to manage.
PLEASE NOTE: Refunds or credits will only be provided if the workshop is cancelled by us. We cannot offer refunds or credit for another session if you decide not to attend on the day. **Please change your RSVP if you no longer plan to attend.** We often have people on the waiting list and we'd hate for others to miss out.
Location: **The Sutton Arms EC1,** 6 Carthusian St, Barbican, London EC1M 6EB. Closest stations are Barbican, Farringdon and Moorgate.

Rabble - Fitness Through Games!
A Rabble session is 1 hour of fun and social team games.
Each game disguises high-intensity intervals within the rules, giving you an effective, all-body workout without even realising it.
We play a bunch of different games at each session (like British Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Frisbee and many more), and every class is different.
Sessions are open to all, no matter your sporting ability. Each game is explained before we start, so there's no need to have played any of the games before.
Come solo or bring friends! And stay at the end for the social part!
Who knew getting fit could be this fun?
**HOW TO BOOK**:
**It's essential that you book onto sessions via our website, using the link below**; due to restrictions on games and preparation times we cannot accept walk-ins, or late arrivals.
[https://joinrabble.com/locations/london/](https://joinrabble.com/locations/london/)
Use the code **FREEPLAY** to get your first game free!
***
We play every:
* Monday in Finsbury Park (19:00 - 20:00)
* Tuesday in Shoreditch Park (19:00 - 20:00)
* Wednesdays in Elephant & Castle (19:00-20:00)
* Saturday in Southwark Park (10:30 - 11:30)
* Saturday in Finsbury Park (11:00 - 12:00)
* Sunday in Clapham Common (12:00 - 13:00)
We hope to see you playing soon!
PS. We have a group of dedicated regulars, so numbers are usually much higher than meetup might suggest. Sign up at: [https://joinrabble.com/locations/london/](https://joinrabble.com/locations/london/)
**Love Rabble**
Let's meet up and speak English in Kings Cross!
This is a mini-group class for a small number of English students (minimum 2, maximum 4) so that everyone gets lots of opportunity to speak and be corrected. We switch topics as the conversation flows, so that you can get used to talking about a variety of subjects and build your confidence, grammar and vocabulary. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and you'll meet new people to practice with. Look forward to seeing you there!
Globe English Conversation Café – In Person
Our next English Conversation Café will be on **Monday 11th May 2026 at** **7:30pm**!
Topic for the evening: To be confirmed
You will have an opportunity to practice your English and meet new people, through conversation topics and games. This event is mainly for learners of English, so we kindly ask native speakers to give priority to others.
The venue is **downstairs** in Costa Coffee, 3 Southwark St, London SE1 1RQ which is a 1 minute walk from London Bridge Station.
This is a **free** event, you will not be expected to pay for anything. You will also be able to have a free drink and cake.
The café is run by a group of volunteers from [The Globe Church](https://www.globe.church).
Please sign up if you would like to attend. If you have any questions please ask us using Meetup. Numbers are limited so please only sign up if you are going to come and change your response if you can no longer come.

## What's Hack Night?
Five hours. One room full of builders. Zero fluff. As many demos as we can.
Hack Night at Tessl is a London evening for people who would rather build than posture. You show up with an idea, find a team if you want one, spend a few focused hours shipping with a DJ in the background, and demo what you made before the night ends. Then we head to the pub.
**When**: May 13\, 2026 \| 4:00 PM \- 8:45 PM BST **Where**: Tessl office, London
**Who**: Hosted by : Adam Chan ([https://www.linkedin.com/in/itsajchan/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/itsajchan/?utm_source=luma)), Sam Hooti ([https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-h-b79850387](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-h-b79850387?utm_source=luma)) and HackerSquad with Tessl
The Judges: Four people who've actually built things worth shipping. They'll see your demo and give you real feedback.
**James Pimentel-Pinto** — First European iPhone developer and inventor of the hybrid app model. Built the first mobile banking, eCommerce, and sports apps in the world, with over 27 App Store #1s. Expect feedback on craft, originality, and whether what you shipped could actually live in users' hands.
[https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamespp/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamespp/?utm_source=luma)
**Vy Alechnavicius** — Design and product leader, startup advisor. Has worked in human-centric AI, product craft, and developer experience. Expect feedback on product sense and whether what you built actually respects the person using it.
[https://www.linkedin.com/in/vaexperience/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vaexperience/?utm_source=luma)
**Lachlan Chavasse** — Former founder of useDaily (personal AI), now launching Frontier Tower in London. Expect feedback on what's actually novel, where the real leverage is, and whether your idea holds up outside the demo.
[https://www.linkedin.com/in/lchavasse/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lchavasse/?utm_source=luma)
**Pedro Proença** —Engineering leader who scaled a marketplace startup from 50 to 5,000 people, building the search and personalization that connected buyers and sellers across 40 countries. Then at big tech, helping tens of thousands of engineers ship safely to billions of users. Now at a scale-up working on AI adoption. Expect feedback on what pain you're actually solving, and whether people would keep using what you built.

## Here's How It Works
**4:00 PM - Doors Open**Check in, grab food, meet other builders, form groups, (or solo hack if you want) and decide what you're making.
**4:30 PM - Opening Context**Quick welcome from the host and venue partner so everyone knows the flow for the night.
**5:00 PM - Short Technical Remarks**If there are host or sponsor remarks, they stay short. The point is to get useful context, then get people building.
**5:30 PM - Build Time**Heads down. Music on. Ship something. Use the time to test an idea, explore a tool, or finally build the thing you've been sitting on.
**7:30 PM - Demo Time**Show what you made. Get feedback. See what everyone else shipped.
**8:45 PM - Wrap Up**Final demos, shout-outs, and a clean finish to the night. And of course, Pub! We're heading to a pub nearby for a pint and a proper debrief. Come if you want to keep the conversation going.
## What You Need to Bring
* Your laptop
* An idea, or the willingness to find one there
* A bias toward shipping
Food will be handled. The space is handled. You just need to show up ready to build.
## Who Should Come?
This is for developers, founders, technical operators, and AI-native product people who like building in the same room as other ambitious people. All skill levels are welcome as long as you're ready to participate.
## Why It's Worth It
Hack Nights create the kind of pressure that helps you actually finish something. You leave with a working prototype, a new collaborator, or at minimum a stronger idea than the one you arrived with.
## Ready to Build?
Register below once the page goes live. Space will be limited to the room capacity at Tessl.

🌐 **This event may have a live stream**
Watch this space for more details.
**🗣️ Katrina Petrevice: Caching in Scala using Ref**
Caching in memory is often one of the first strategies used to improve system performances. However, implementing caching in a purely functional way introduces unique challenges, specifically around state management and testability. In this talk, we will look at how to utilise functional programming principles with [Ref](https://typelevel.org/cats-effect/docs/std/ref), while maintaining clarity and composability. We will also deep dive into some common pitfalls and look into practical ways to test Ref effectively.
⭐ Katrina Petrevice ⭐
Katrina comes from a non–computer science background and was first introduced to Scala while working at JPMorgan. She credits much of her Scala knowledge to hands-on experience within her team, where she works on building and maintaining data pipelines and managing data systems. Since then, she has developed a strong interest in functional programming and now co-leads the Functional Programming Group at JPMorgan, where she helps share knowledge and foster a community around these ideas.
**🗣️ Caroline Morton: Accidental Functional Programming in Rust (From an Epidemiologist's Perspective)**
I don't have a background in functional programming - and I never set out to write it. But somewhere between writing trait-based epidemiological pipelines, composing data transformations, and leaning hard on Result, enums, and pattern matching, I started hearing from others: “That's pretty functional.”
In this talk, I'll explore what it means to write “functional-ish” Rust as someone solving real-world scientific problems. I'll walk through the patterns I reach for - like chaining iterators, avoiding shared state, and embracing expressive types - and reflect on which functional programming ideas emerge naturally in Rust, even if you're not trying.
I'll also share how designing for epidemiologists - most of whom are used to chaining functions in Python (like Pandas) or R - has pushed me toward creating ergonomic Rust APIs with Python and R bindings. These tools aim to feel familiar to scientists while leveraging Rust's power and safety under the hood.
This is a talk for functional programmers curious about Rust, and for Rustaceans wondering if they've been functional all along. No formal theory required - just real code, real use cases, and a pragmatic perspective from someone building public health tools in Rust.
⭐ Caroline Morton ⭐
Dr. Caroline Morton is a medical doctor, epidemiologist, software engineer, and PhD candidate specialising in synthetic data, epidemiology, and Rust. With 60 peer-reviewed papers and two books on software, she combines deep technical expertise with a commitment to improving scientific workflows.
Caroline co-founded the first [Women in Rust](https://www.meetup.com/women-in-rust/) group, fostering diversity and encouraging more women to explore opportunities in systems programming. She leads an open-source project improving codelist management in epidemiology using Rust, creating efficient, reliable tools for health data research.
Her PhD focuses on synthetic data methods for epidemiology, particularly using Rust to generate large, realistic datasets. A strong advocate for open science and reproducibility, she contributes extensively to improving software practices through publications, workshops, and open-source projects.
