Meetings take place usually once per month, on Wednesday evenings 7pm-9pm. Sessions can be booked individually, the fee is 25£ per session. You are eligible for a reduced fee of £20 for a taster session if you join us for the first time. You can join at any point.

This week’s **Yay!-DHD Social** is at \*\*Mercato Metropolitano (\*\*42 Newington Causeway, London SE1 6DR), which is large, gently heated space (thankfully!) full of snack/dinner options you’ll think about ordering for an unnecessarily long time before choosing something you immediately defend as “the right call, actually”. This is Yay-DHD: a midweek social that reliably attracts people with ADHD, people who suspect they might have ADHD, and people who’ve simply noticed that most socials feel like admin with drinks. You do not need a diagnosis to attend, everyone is welcome! **What to expect:** Starts at 6.15pm, ends around 10pm, obviously come and go as you please. We are a social group, so fairly easy going and chatty. Don't worry if you're a newbie, we all were once and I (Kieran) know it can be nerve wracking to attend for the first time - It will be ok! We’ll be eating, drinking, talking, interrupting ourselves, losing the thread, finding a better one, and occasionally stopping mid-sentence because someone else’s food looks more interesting. Some people arrive straight from work looking mildly haunted. Others drift in later having almost stayed home. Everyone will, at some point, forget what they were saying. Mercato is ideal for this sort of thing. There’s movement, background buzz but not noisy, and enough going on that wandering off mid-conversation looks deliberate rather than rude. If you go quiet, it just seems like you’re thinking. If you leave early, nobody questions it — they’re too busy choosing between eight cuisines. If you’ve been scrolling Meetup wondering which event requires the least amount of social performance, this is probably the one. We’ll be there from 6.15pm spread across tables, quietly judgemental about food choices (including our own), and relieved it’s Wednesday and not Thursday. *** **A quick note on boundaries:** Yay-DHD is a space where people feel safe and at ease. Not everyone is looking to connect beyond the event or pursue anything romantic, so please be mindful of that and respect boundaries at all times. Obviously, we want friendships to develop, so perhaps give it some time and consideration before asking if someone wants to stay in touch. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- For you robots out there: \| ADHD \| LONDON ADHD \| ADHD SOCIAL\| MAKE NEW FRIENDS \| LONDON \| 42 Newington Causeway\, London SE1 6DR

A relaxed, four‑hour or so photo walk that starts at Bank Station, threads through the heart of the City, and lands you in Soho by 7:00 pm – perfect for capturing the post‑work buzz without feeling rushed. ## Overview * **Start:** 4:00 pm – Bank Station (Royal Exchange side) and areas nearby * **Midway:** 6:00 pm – Walk through St Pauls, City Thameslink, Fleet Street and then wander through Covent Garden * **Finish:** 8:30 pm – Central Soho (Carnaby Street / Berwick Street area) The route balances iconic landmarks, spontaneous street moments, and the gradual shift from daylight to evening neon, giving you a rich visual story in a single evening. This walk will be about 3 to 4 miles, so please bear this in mind. You may choose to do the first half or the second half instead of the full walk :) We will sign off the evening over drinks / food (for those able to stay back) ## Key Shooting Opportunities * **Office exodus:** Capture groups spilling onto the pavement, coffee in hand, with the City’s glass towers framing the scene. * **Market ambience:** Stalls and lanterns in Covent Garden add texture and warmth. * **Neon nightlife:** Soho’s iconic signage provides bold contrasts for low‑light portraits. ## Gear & Practical Tips * **I will provide one roll of KODAK XX 35mm film for you to use. Each roll has 36 exposures. You may choose to use it at your ISO of choice. I personally tend to stick with 800 ISO, using a slower aperture (5.6 to 11 ) in day light and faster aperture (1.5 to 2.0) in low light. However, this film can be shot at 250, 400, 800 and 1600 ISO easily** * Please make sure you can manually select the ISO on your camera, else this film roll will default to 100 ISO and unless you have an automatic flash, you will struggle with your camera * You can join us at any point of time in the walk . I will share our Live location on WhatsApp (will create a WhatsApp group 2 days before the walk, including the meeting point) Please note: The aim of the walk is to shoot at least one roll of Kodak XX, which will be provided to you. If you do not intend to use XX or not use a film camera kindly do not join this particular walk The cost of the walk includes the film roll and payment required upfront via PayPal to ensure commitment to the walk If you require a film camera for the walk please let me know in advance and I could get one for you to use for the evening
