Rabble - Fitness Through Games!
We're fed up of boring, monotonous exercise - let's play ourselves fit!
**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!
***
Rabble is a fitness club with a difference:
* Every 1 hour session is a mixture of team games, such as Capture the Flag, Frisbee or Kickball - no two sessions are alike!
* We are SUPER friendly and often host socials after the game
* All abilities are welcomed
* Our aim is to have **FUN**, make **FRIENDS**, and get **FIT** without even
noticing
* Bring your friends along!
Please come in comfortable sports clothing and bring a bottle of water and hand sanitizer. Trail shoes or studs (weather dependent) are recommended, or a good pair of trainers.
Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the session to allow us to start on time.
We play every:
* Monday in Highbury & Islington (19:00 - 20:00)
* Tuesday in Shoreditch / Haggerston (19:00 - 20:00)
* Wednesday 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. Book your place here: [https://joinrabble.com/locations/london/](https://joinrabble.com/locations/london/)

F\*ck the Small Talk has travelled the world across Berlin, Mexico City, Melbourne, Lisbon, Medellin, Vienna, and now back to London for its 3rd year in a row! ๐
**๐ฆ WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is a **one-of-a-kind social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. Itโs also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you havenโt met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in London every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. ๐
**๐ HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. Youโll never have to speak in public if you donโt want to.
**๐ฃ NOTE**: We won't validate your payment unless you've been accepted! (which you most likely will โค๏ธ)
**๐น HOW TO JOIN?**
**[Take 1 minute to sign up ๐](https://luma.com/london3ftst)**
๐ On your phone and canโt click? Click the link in the comments :)
Our events are **limited to 30 handpicked guests** to ensure a cozy atmosphere. We aim to curate events with similar age and gender groups *wherever possible.* If you're invited you'll receive a confirmation within 48 hours via Luma (our ticketing platform)
**๐งง HOW MUCH IS IT?**
The cost to attend is **13-15ยฃ** and includes the following:
โฐ 3 hours of facilitated and curated activities
๐ Light snacks to keep the energy going (only if outdoors)
๐ฅ A space to meet new people in the least boring way possible

We will reveal the exact location to ticket holders 24 hours before the event. This edition will take place in a nice pub near **Waterloo**.
**๐ WHAT THEY SAY**
๐ฃ โThis is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.โ - Sonya
๐ฃ โF\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.โ - Monika
๐ฃ โI loved F\*ck the small talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!โ - Brenda
๐ฃ โLively, interesting, introspective, completely open, and no judgment. Everyone that joined was ready for great conversation and helped with different perspectives. So much fun! I can't wait for the next one! โ - Yaz

๐ค FAQ
**โข Can I come alone?**
Of course, in fact, we encourage it!
**โข Can I be late?**
Please don't! "Doors" open at 11:45am and we start at exactly 12:00pm! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**โข I signed up but never got an invite. Why?**
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups yet we like to keep it cozy & only invite around 25 people. We believe this is a good number to ensure an awesome experience, and weโve learned that itโs easier to build connections with smaller groups! Please try again next time if do not receive an invite - no hard feelings ๐
**โข Why do you charge?**
We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. ๐ This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! ๐ However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend. If you canโt afford it simply get in touch with us :)
**โข I'm digging this! Can I get involved somehow?**
Sure thing, send us a message!
**โข Can I bring my pet (llama)?**
100% yes (depends on the venue, ask us!)

Spotlight: Showbiz, Music, Film, TV, Media, Theatre & Radio Walkin Tour + Drinks
If youโre artistic and creative โ or were always that kid who dreamed of working in exciting sexi professional worlds of entertainment, fashion, music or the performing arts โ then this oneโs exclusively for you!
An insider showbiz and entertainment walk led by someone whoโs lived inside the industry - a radio music founder, presentator and club DJ, a former Correspondent for a global News Agency bigger than the BBC, an advertising / media agency exe, a red-carpet luxury fashion brand strategist and a failed boy band muscian (I still got the spiked hair!). So you can expect stories to be told with real passion, authenticity, personality and first hand knowledge...
This 90 mins backstage wander will take you straight through Londonโs creative arts & entertainment industry showbiz bloodstream. Weโre talking live broadcasting nerve centres, global pop stars, legendary stages, Hollywood hideouts, iconic comedy clubs, ad agencies that won general elections, recording studios, fashion designers, radio powerhouses, and the secret corners where reputations are negotiated over overpriced cocktails โ all set against the music soundtrack of a city thatโs launched everything from Britpop to boybands to global club culture.
Youโll hear where the UKโs biggest radio stations broke chartโtoppers annd turned unknowns into global popstars, where stars of the film and stage made their name, how certain streets shaped entire genres, how comedians went from dingy basements to national treasures, and why Londonโs music scene has always been the cityโs loudest, messiest, most influential creative engine in the world
This free tour will unapologetically appeal to:
* **Popโculture lovers** who treat celebrity interviews and album drops like sacred texts
* **Creatives & media people** who love a bit of insider sparkle and know the difference between a PR stunt and a genuine cultural moment
* **Culture lovers** who collect fun facts from music, film, art and can name their favourite live performance of all time
* **People working in or consuming** **films, theatre, radio, music, comedy, TV, dance, media, advertising**, **performing arts** and everything in between
* Anyone craving something different yet authentic, fun with just the right amount of chaos
Expect a crowd that gets excited about the things normal people pretend not to care about โ iconic ad campaigns, legendary performances, scandalous headlines, radio gossip, film magic, music history, and the beautiful mess of how culture actually gets made.
Youโll walk, youโll laugh, youโll learn things you absolutely did not expect, and youโll leave feeling like youโve unlocked a secret level of London โ the one where the stories, the scandals, and the soundtracks all collide

Zen Chat and Sit Meditation at 1801 Robert Fulton Dr
This is an **event at 1801 Robert Fulton Dr., Reston, VA 20191** (All participants must have RSVP'd).
We continue exploring the foundational Buddhist sutra: the **Heart Sutra**. This the shortest sutra but the most fundamental.
Our meeting schedule will be as follows:
* **40 minutes:** Sitting meditation
* **5 minutes:** Break
* **45 minutes:** Group discussion of the Heart Sutra.
During the sitting meditation session, we will provide you with a non-roller chair (or feel free to bring in your own meditation pad/pillow). If you are a first timer, detailed instructions will be provided when you are here at 1801 Robert Fulton Drive).
Simply Social - Reston
We had a great conversation the last time we went here. For everyone attending this was a new find, a cafe tucked away on the upper level, not immediately noticeable by the average visitor to this shopping center. Iโll probably have a matcha, but get whatever you like, and start the weekend off right.
(No discussions on politics, religion or potentially controversial topics. We're here to relax and have fun. Just be respectful and we'll be alright. Pay your own way, and enjoy!)

Our meeting schedule will be as follows:
* **40 minutes:** Sitting meditation
* **5 minutes:** Break
* **45 minutes:** Group discussion of the Heart Sutra.
During the sitting meditation session, please find a comfortable spot and preferably sit in a non-roller chair (or on your meditation pad/pillow). If you are a first timer, detailed instructions will be provided when we meet at 1801 Robert Fulton Drive).
