**Whose knowledge is centred in design? Whose voices are heard, and whose are overlooked?** Join us for an interactive workshop that goes beyond surface-level inclusion to critically explore power, culture, and equity in design practice. **What’s the event about?** We want to create a space where we can talk honestly and practically about what it means to go beyond inclusive design — to question who design is for, how it’s done, and how we might do it differently. It’s not a lecture, nor is it about having the “right” answers. It’s about exploring the topic together in a way that’s open, hands-on… and a bit of fun too. This event will include an interactive activity designed to provoke thought and discussion about what it means to design beyond inclusivity, creating space for deeper shared reflection. **Who’s it for?** This is for anyone working in or around design — whether you’re in services, research, strategy, policy, or community roles. You might: •⁠ ⁠Be curious about the term “decolonising” but not sure where to start •⁠ ⁠Feel a bit disconnected from this kind of conversation •⁠ ⁠Be looking for a more grounded, less academic way in •⁠ ⁠Just want to meet others thinking about design and equity in new ways **What can you expect?** •⁠ ⁠A hands-on group activity inviting you to explore an unfamiliar world, challenge assumptions, and think differently about power, culture, and design •⁠ ⁠Facilitated group reflection and conversation on how we talk about — and act on — the idea of decolonising design in our work •⁠ ⁠Informal conversations and networking at the pub to follow What you’ll take away •⁠ ⁠A practical framework you can adapt or reuse in your own work •⁠ ⁠A more grounded sense of what “decolonising design” can mean in everyday practice •⁠ ⁠A chance to connect with others exploring similar questions Whether you're completely new to decolonising design or already working with these frameworks, you'll find space to reflect, learn, and connect with others navigating similar questions. **About the Ticket** The ticket cost is to hold your place and ensure commitment from attendees. **All participants who attend the event will be offered the option to request a full refund of their ticket price.** This approach helps us plan effectively while remaining accessible to those with financial constraints. Come ready to participate, question, and imagine design differently.

Chess is often described as a universal language. Yet, for many women and girls, access to that language has historically been limited due to a range of factors, including societal expectations around the role of women, the value placed on their time and hobbies compared to family and work responsibilities, and broader barriers linked to education, employment, and social opportunity. The **London Women Chess Club (LWCC)** was founded to change that. We are a non-profit organisation, awarded by the English Chess Federation (ECF), a community-led chess club dedicated to **empowering all women and girls through chess**, not only by teaching the game, but by creating a safe, supportive environment where confidence, learning, and ambition can grow side by side. **Why the London Women Chess Club exists** Despite chess being open to all, women still make up a small minority of players in clubs, tournaments, and leadership roles. Many women tell us they feel intimidated joining mixed clubs, unsure of their level, or hesitant to play competitively, even when they have talent and passion. LWCC was created to address this gap. Our mission is simple: to **increase participation, confidence, and representation of women in chess**, from beginners to competitive players. **What we do** London Women Chess Club runs regular chess sessions, social play, training, and tournaments across London. Our activities are designed to be welcoming, structured, and encouraging, whether someone is touching the board for the first time or preparing for league and rated play. We focus on: Learning without pressure Progress at your own pace Building confidence through experience Creating a sense of belonging Supporting women to step into competitive chess We also collaborate with libraries, community centres, and chess organisations to ensure chess remains **accessible, inclusive, and rooted in the community**. **More than just a chess club** LWCC is not only about moves and results. It is about: · Personal growth · Mental resilience · Leadership and volunteering · Mentorship and peer support · Representation in sports and mind games Many of our members arrive unsure of themselves, and leave feeling empowered to play matches, enter tournaments, volunteer, arbitrate, organise, and lead. That transformation is at the heart of everything we do. **Looking ahead** · As the club continues to grow, we are actively developing: · New partnerships · More competitive opportunities for women · Volunteer and leadership roles · Sustainable funding and community support We welcome collaboration with individuals, organisations, councils, and sponsors who believe in **equality of opportunity, community sport, and the power of chess as a tool for empowerment**. **If you are interested in women’s chess, community sport, volunteering, or partnership opportunities, we’d love to connect.** Together, we are building a stronger, more confident future for women in chess. ♟️ LWCC is committed to creating a welcoming, respectful environment for all women and girls, in line with equality and safeguarding principles.

This is a small-group, quiet-ish meetup for ADHD brains who to connect with their tribe without their nervous system going, 'Aiiight, I'm outta here!' We’re meeting at **Picturehouse Central** (Piccadilly) because it’s one of those places where you can actually hear yourself think. Mostly. This is more of a tea/coffee and cake kinda venue. Sorry, booze hounds! **The vibe is**: relaxed, validating, welcoming It won't be like whispering to each other at the back of the class, just… less sensory Armageddon. **What to expect** A small group (human-scale, not “who are all these people” scale). A quiet-ish venue where you don’t have to shout your personality into existence. Conversation that can be normal (well, probably far from normal 😅. There is no need to worry about trying to fit in, no need to mask. A soft landing. Come late, ease in, do a gentle hello, no one’s timing you. Low-pressure hanging out. If you want to chat, great. If you want to sit and decompress near other people, also great. **The unofficial theme** How to be social without being assaulted by: fluorescent lighting overlapping conversations surprise music that one table doing a full volume podcast recording next to you. **Important Note:** If you cannot make it, please put 'Can't go'. This ensures there's space for others who want to attend 🙂 ‐------------------------------------------------------ Boundaries (quick, clear, important) Yay!-DHD is a consent-led space. Some people are chatty, some are quiet, some are pacing themselves. Please don’t push for personal details, contact info, or continued connection if someone isn’t offering it. This isn’t a dating event. ‐------------------------------------------------------- For you robots out there: ADHD London | Low sensory meetup | Inclusive | AUDHD |

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
