Girls' Night Out

**The end of the year is now approaching and we thought what better way to see in 2026, than with our latest New Year's Eve Party, exclusively for 20s and 30s.** Yep that's right, we’ve once again gone big and booked out a WHOLE pub to ourselves, so you can celebrate NYE in style. The Craft Beer Co. St. Mary Axe is right in the heart of the city of London, with some great cask and keg beer on tap, and on NYE - we will be filling it with lots of 20s and 30s for this special occasion. As we count down to midnight together, there’ll be a few light-hearted ways to connect throughout the evening as you celebrate. There'll be board games to break the ice, deep question cards to help you move beyond the small talk, and even a **hosted quiz** for a bit of fun and friendly competition. And then after midnight, there will also be the option of heading to one of our favourite pubs, The Star By Liverpool Street's **NYE Karaoke Party**, where we've secured free entry, so you can sing your heart out and dance the night away. And so whether you are new to our 20s and 30s events or a seasoned veteran, you are very welcome to join us for what will be a special night. **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **ATTENDANCE FEE** Since we are now reaching capacity and we have limited space at the venue, we will be charging a very small £3.50 attendance fee.

The money of which will go towards the activities and prizes on the night. **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **WHERE/WHEN** The Venue: The Craft Beer Co.

**On Friday 2nd January, we're excited to be kicking off another year of social fun with our latest Friday Night Bowling Social.** Yep that's right... we'll be heading back to one of the best value activities in the whole of London, Duckpin Bowling at Brewdog in Waterloo for an evening of bowling and social drinks. If you've never heard of Duckpin Bowling, it is a variant of traditional bowling that's seen incredible growth of popularity over the last few years. The rules of the game are very similar to standard bowling, with bowlers trying to knock down pins in the fewest rolls over 10 frames. However, with lighter balls, shorter lanes and smaller pins, with Duckpin Bowling you'll need even more precision and skill to get a strike. **Best of all, it is one of the cheapest Bowling experiences in the whole of London at just £8.35pp!** Places are limited though and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and so if you would like to join us for this, please RSVP as soon as possible! **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **WHERE/WHEN** To start the night, we will be meeting nearby at the Thirsty Bear pub in Waterloo at 7:30pm to give you a chance to meet and with your fellow bowlers. However, we'd kindly ask that you arrive **no later than 8:10pm,** so that we can head over together in time for the experience. **Meet Point** \- Thirsty Bear\, 62 Stamford St\, London SE1 9LX \([https://goo.gl/maps/35TPL864JuAS1ev39)](https://goo.gl/maps/35TPL864JuAS1ev39) **Closest Tube stations**: Southwark (5 min walk), Waterloo (10 mins walk) **Start Time:** 7:30 PM **End Time:** 10:30 PM **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **JOIN THE COMMUNITY** Set up in November 2021, our community project was set up to help Londoners in their 20s and 30s meet, connect and hopefully build life-long friendships.

💌 **An intimate exploration of family, memory, and the reconciliatory power of art** **👋 Hi everybody** — let’s meet for this highly acclaimed Norwegian film directed by **Joachim Trier**. This film will explore themes of family, memory, and artistic legacy. The story follows two sisters, Nora and Agnes, as they reunite with their estranged father, Gustav Borg, a once-renowned director. After the death of their mother, Gustav attempts a comeback by making a film about their family history, forcing the sisters to confront past traumas and unresolved feelings within their multi-generational family home. We’ll meet for **drinks at the Curzon Cinema Soho Bar** before heading into the screening in **Screen 2**. I’ll be in **seat C**, but feel free to grab any seat you like. After the film, we’ll reconvene for a film discussion and a **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse)** review.

**Our January novel is: Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan** **This month's featured novel is a 20th-century biographical fiction, coming-of-age, historical romance, women’s fiction, world literature, student biography, heartfelt, magic, and feel-good novel. The book is 311 pages in print and 7 hours and 8 minutes on audiobook.** 1950: Margaret Devonshire (Megs) is a seventeen-year-old student of mathematics and physics at Oxford University. When her beloved eight-year-old brother asks Megs if Narnia is real, logical Megs tells him it's just a book for children, and certainly not true. Homebound due to his illness, and remaining fixated on his favorite books, George presses her to ask the author of the recently released novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a question: "Where did Narnia come from?" Despite her fear about approaching the famous author, who is a professor at her school, Megs soon finds herself taking tea with C. S. Lewis and his own brother Warnie, begging them for answers. Rather than directly telling her where Narnia came from, Lewis encourages Megs to form her own conclusion as he shares the little-known stories from his own life that led to his inspiration. As she takes these stories home to George, the little boy travels farther in his imagination than he ever could in real life. After holding so tightly to logic and reason, her brother's request leads Megs to absorb a more profound truth: "The way stories change us can't be explained. It can only be felt. Like love."

Come hang out for a Game Night at Pins and Mikey’s on New Year’s Eve Wednesday, December 31st @10pm. This will be at the Dublin Location! I’m sure it will be PACKED, if that is not your scene, this is likely not for you. Pins might have a ball drop playing on the tvs, hopefully they do. We didn’t rent lanes, so you can pay what you want and play what you want. We start meeting at 10pm but you can show up whenever, just message on the event that you are here and someone will come find you. I will also post updates for attendees about where we are as the night goes on. Below are the prices you can expect for the games at Pins, many are free: 🎳 Duckpin - $9 per person per game. Miniature bowling and the main attraction. Pinball - $1 per game. ⚽️ Foosball - 50 cents per game. 🏓 Ping Pong - 25 cents self serve per game. (sometimes this is free when you get there honestly) 🕹️👾Arcade - free Patio Pong - free. Like the cup pong drinking game, but giant. ⭕️ Hookie - free. You throw rings onto hooks, it’s like darts but safer apparently. 🪵 Giant Jenga - free. Jenga but larger. Plus we have Mikey’s right next door! It is even accessible from inside Pins. Mikeys has two Vegan pizzas, a pepperoni and a bbq chiken. I know you can also bring outside food at this location so don’t hesitate to bring anything you’d like. Just no outside drinks! 🅿️ There are multiple free multi-level parking garages, such as the Longshore, Mooney, and Howe garages. As well as street parking. Lastly, FYI, Pins is always 21+ after 9pm for anyone who planned to bring someone younger than that. I think that covers everything. So yeah! Come celebrate, hang out, and vibe if you want! It can get competitive when it comes to games, so come ready to win!! 😤😆
