Most people stay until 11PM (or head to the after-party!). 📍 **Location:** A central London pub near Covent Garden (5–10 mins walk from the Meetup map pin). Exact details are shared with lottery winners only. *** ✅ **Who It's For** * You're new to London or simply want to expand your circle. * You enjoy thoughtful, informal conversation. * You want a social space that isn’t dominated by loud music or heavy drinking (though drinks are optional!). **We proudly encourage diversity at our events!** *** 🧭 **Three Simple Guidelines** 1.

Don’t arrive intoxicated—this is a chill and respectful crowd. *** 🙋‍♀️ **Want to Help or Get Involved?** We’re always looking for warm, welcoming people to help greet newcomers and grow this special community. 📩 Ask the host or message "TP" if you’d like to get involved. 🌟 **Explore More** Love this vibe?

La película empieza a las 16.20 no hay publicidad ni trailers de otras películas antes. Después de la película nos tomaremos algo para compartir nuestras impresiones. Screened in partnership with [Screen Cuba](https://www.thegardencinema.co.uk/partner/screen-cuba/) Juan Carlos Tabío, Cuba, 1983, 103m. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with special guests from Cuba, distinguished cinema actors Mirtha Ibarra and Eslinda Núñez. This film heralded a new genre of sociocritical comedy in Cuba and was the debut feature of director Juan Carlos Tabio. It is full of Cubanisms – popular everyday problems, language and attitudes of that era and a range of characters from an idealist architect to an opportunistic bureaucrat. Gloria wants her adult daughter to find a husband she considers a “good match” and engineers a chain of house swaps to move to a “better neighbourhood” to make things go her way, but her daughter has different ideas and wants to love who she wants. It examines the desire to get ahead in a society that says everyone is equal but also celebrates the resourcefulness with which people solve their own problems.

Nadia nos propone la lectura de *En una silla de ruedas* de Carmen Lyra, 128 páginas. Este texto, publicado en 1917, ofrece un reflejo de las contradicciones sociales propias de su época, así como una cuidada caracterización de personajes humildes y populares. Retrata, asimismo, las tradiciones y costumbres de su tiempo para apelar a la sensibilidad social y humana del lector. Es un libro clave en la historia literaria de Costa Rica, se destaca por dos hechos significativos dentro de las letras nacionales: fue escrito por una mujer y es la primera obra literaria de una escritora costarricense en ser publicada. ¡Qué disfrutéis de Costa Rica! ¿Te interesa la lectura en inglés, francés o de la literatura persa?: [-](http://-www.meetup.com/gaia-libros)[www.meetup.com/gaia-books](www.meetup.com/gaia-books) [-www.meetup.com/gaia-livres](http://-www.meetup.com/gaia-livres) -[www.meetup.com/persian-culture](www.meetup.com/persian-culture) -Instagram: @persian_culture_

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
