Social and Cultural Outings

**Back by popular demand, on Friday 27th March we’re excited to be hosting our latest Drink & Do Night!** But for this one - instead of our usual paint and pottery, we’ll be teaming up with Something Good Workshops for a **Mixed Media Cyanotype Workshop,** exclusively for our community 🎨 If you’ve never tried cyanotype before, it’s a famous print making technique that creates distinctive deep blue artworks that you may have seen in galleries or design markets. The evening will start with a relaxed introduction where the workshop team will walk us through the process and materials. You’ll then design your own A6 artwork using a mix of bold materials like plants, tape, drawings and lettering, layering everything onto acetate to build your composition **🌿** Once you're happy with your design, they'll then place your image onto light-sensitive paper and expose it using specialist lighting, to reveal your finished cyanotype artwork. It should be a fun new experience and throughout the evening - there will be a bar open, so you can grab drinks and build some new connections - as you create your piece. Best of all, whilst art workshops like this can often cost £40+, this **whole evening of creative fun is just £13.25pp 💙** But as always - spots are limited and so do nab your spot, if you're keen to join us for this! **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **WHERE/WHEN** The Venue: Something Good Workshops, Deptford Market Yard, 2 Carriage Way.

There's the shop who bribed the tram conductors to call out its name, find out how; the fountain remembering the man who tried to cure tinitus and died as a consequence, a comeback for Sheik Yamani and the London home of a 19th century deposed Indian prince doomed to long (in vain) for a return home, the unfortunate Cannizaros and croquet at Wimbledon. Finally, find out how the locals coped with Henry VIII's visit. The cost of the walk is £12 per head.

Before summer foliage softens the horizon, the ridges feel open and expansive, with far-reaching views across the Weald. The terrain is varied and engaging, crossing commons, woodland, quiet country lanes and open fields as we cover real ground across the North Downs landscape. The walk passes through historic hamlets such as French Street and Crockham Hill, where centuries-old cottages sit quietly among rolling countryside. Hidden within the folds of the land lie the evocative remains of Weardale Manor, while the historic setting of Tenchleys Manor adds another quiet layer of heritage. We move through the historic landscape surrounding Chartwell and the terraces of Emmetts Garden, where early spring colour begins to emerge across the slopes. Woodland sections offer filtered light through still-open branches, while higher ground delivers broad skies, exposed stretches and a strong sense of seasonal transition. Underfoot conditions can vary in late March, with firm chalk ridges contrasting with softer woodland paths, keeping the day interesting and dynamic. It is a time of brighter mornings, returning birdsong and a countryside poised between winter structure and spring growth. This is a walk of layered history and varied scenery, from ancient woodland and manor ruins to grand country houses and sweeping downland views, experienced at one of the most refreshing and energising moments of the year. After the hike, there is an optional visit to the Wetherspoons by the station, with a 30-minute train back to central London. \-\-\- **HIGHLIGHTS** * Early spring landscape with fresh greens and long, open Wealden views * Varied terrain across commons, woodland, lanes and open countryside * Ridge-top panoramas and broad skies from higher ground * Historic hamlets including French Street and Crockham Hill * Weardale Manor ruins and the historic setting of Tenchleys Manor * Landscape surrounding Chartwell and Emmetts Garden * Emerging spring colour across garden terraces and wooded slopes * Chalk ridges contrasted with softer woodland paths * Optional post-walk social in Oxted \-\-\- **BY CAR** **[Oxted Station](https://w3w.co/lift.cling.taps)** **[Ellice Road Car Park](https://w3w.co/wishes.light.slows)** \-\-\- **BY TRAIN** Buy a return to **[Oxted](https://w3w.co/yarn.drives.dinner)** \-\-\- **LUNCH AND FACILITIES** 🍔 Bring a packed lunch and snacks.

We’re bringing back Adult Field Day. Last year was a good mix of competition and just hanging out, so we’re doing it again with some new games mixed in. Think team-based challenges, simple races, and a few things inspired by game shows. You don’t need to be athletic. Most of the fun is just being part of a team and getting to know people you wouldn’t normally talk to. The goal isn’t really winning. It’s meeting people, laughing a bit, and leaving knowing a few more names than when you showed up. If you stick around after, we’ll have a potluck, a bonfire, and a couple comedians in the evening. Bring: * Something to share for the potluck * Clothes you can move around in A small contribution helps keep events sustainable and ensures those who RSVP actually show up. Include your Meetup name + event name in the note. Please send $2 per person to guarantee your spot. Venmo (preferred) or PayPal @WiseUnlimitedLLC Actual links in comments below! Include your Meetup name + event name in the note.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

We will meet next to the restrooms at the [Big Meadows Picnic Area](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/HBK_Web_1980.png). They're all the way at the back of the park, and they can be found at coordinates [40°09'06.6"N 83°02'30.2"W](https://www.google.com/maps/place/40%C2%B009'06.6%22N+83%C2%B002'30.2%22W/@40.151828,-83.0423587,214m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m10!1m5!3m4!2zNDDCsDA5JzA4LjAiTiA4M8KwMDEnNDUuMSJX!8m2!3d40.1522222!4d-83.0291944!3m3!8m2!3d40.151827!4d-83.041715?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTIwNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) (near the playground and the zip line). We'll hike about 5 miles at [Highbanks Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/highbanks/) on the Dripping Rock and Overlook Trails. Afterward, we'll head over to [Olentangy River Brewing](https://www.olentangybrew.com/) for drinks, coffee, or food (their Sunday [food truck](https://www.olentangybrew.com/eventsandfood) is Venezuelan and always gets good reviews). The actual address of the brewery is [303 Green Meadows Dr S, 43035](https://www.google.com/maps/place/303+Green+Meadows+Dr+S,+Lewis+Center,+OH+43035/@40.1551938,-83.0144045,17.25z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x8838f395cef06c97:0xe407de61b3e30069!8m2!3d40.1551765!4d-83.0124352!16s%2Fg%2F11c26jc7j9?entry=ttu). If you can't make the hike, we should be there by noon. **How to find our starting point in Big Meadows:** If you are new to Highbanks, the Big Meadows picnic area is 1.5 miles into the park just after you turn into the park off of U.S. Route 23. That is, after you enter the park, drive a mile and a half into the park. You will come to a crosswalk with a yield sign in the middle of it (this is not to be confused with the first such crosswalk you come to just in front of the Nature Center, which you arrive at maybe a quarter of a mile into the park). Just after this second crosswalk, make a left. Then make another almost immediate left into the parking lot on your left. There you will see the jungle gym and the kiddie zip line to your left. I will be just in front of the restrooms just a bit further down from the jungle gym and picnic shelter; the restroom building will also be on your left.
