Rabble - Fitness Through Games!
Rabble - Fitness Through Games!
A Rabble session is 1 hour of fun and social team games. Each game disguises high-intensity intervals within the rules, giving you an effective, all-body workout without even realising it. We play a bunch of different games at each session (like British Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Frisbee and many more), and every class is different. Sessions are open to all, no matter your sporting ability. Each game is explained before we start, so there's no need to have played any of the games before. Come solo or bring friends! And stay at the end for the social part! Who knew getting fit could be this fun? **TO BOOK**: It's essential that you book onto sessions via our website, using the link below; due to restrictions on games and preparation times we cannot accept walk-ins, or late arrivals. [https://joinrabble.com/locations/london/](https://joinrabble.com/locations/london/) Use the code **FREEPLAY** to get your first game free! *** We play every: * Monday in Finsbury Park (19:00 - 20:00) * Tuesday in Shoreditch Park (19:00 - 20:00) * Wednesday in Elephant & Castle (19:00 - 20:00) * Saturday in Southwark Park (10:30 - 11:30) * Saturday in Finsbury Park (11:00 - 12:00) * Sunday in Clapham Common (12:00 - 13:00) We hope to see you playing soon! PS. We have a group of dedicated regulars, so numbers are usually much higher than Meetup might suggest. Book your place here: [https://joinrabble.com/locations/london/](https://joinrabble.com/locations/london/) **Love Rabble**

LoMAZ Walks๐Ÿšถ: The Line โ€“ East London Art Walk + Cable Car Crossing
โ€œ*Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.*โ€ - [Pablo Picasso](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso) Join us on The Line at East London for a unique outdoor art walk linking Stratford to the O2 along the riverside. The Line is Londonโ€™s first dedicated public art walk, stretching through East Londonโ€™s waterways, parks, and industrial landscapes. It connects two major landmarks: Stratford and the O2 Arena. Along the route, weโ€™ll explore a series of large-scale contemporary sculptures and installations from leading international artists. The walk blends art, nature, and urban architecture into one continuous open-air gallery. Itโ€™s a relaxed, social walk designed for conversation, photography, and taking in East London from a different perspective โ€” with plenty of stops along the way. **Read more here: [https://the-line.org/](https://the-line.org/)** **MEET DETAILS:** **FROM 11.15am: MEET AT Ginger & Mint Eastbank cafe (optional)** Address: Unit 1A, 7 Aquatics Walk, Stratford Cross, London E20 2AS **11.30am: WALK OFFICIALLY BEGINS** **\~14:30โ€“15:00pm: CABLE CAR CROSSING** We will cross the river using the IFS Cloud Cable Car.

FREE SUNDAY HIKE - Viaduct, River, Castle & Lavender: A Darent Valley Loop
FREE SUNDAY HIKE - Viaduct, River, Castle & Lavender: A Darent Valley Loop
Looking for a Sunday that feels like a soft slice of summer? Join us for a beautiful 12โ€“15 km loop through the Darent Valley, where riverside paths, rolling green fields, and blooming lavender come together in one of Kent's most charming landscapes. This valley has been shaped by centuries of life and travel, and you feel it as soon as you step onto the trail. We'll pass beneath the towering arches of the Eynsford Viaduct, a Victorian engineering landmark that has carried trains across the valley since the 1860s. Further along, the route brushes past the historic grounds of Lullingstone Castle, a Tudor manor once visited by Henry VIII and home to the Hart Dyke family for over 500 years. From there, the path opens into the quiet lanes of Shoreham village and the purple shimmer of the lavender fields drifting across the hillsides. As we move through meadows, woodlands, and open countryside, the day settles into that easy summer rhythm where everything feels unhurried and lightly golden. It's the kind of walk where the scenery does the talking: the river winding beside us, the scent of lavender in the warm air, and the countryside unfolding in soft greens and purples โ€” a Sunday that feels sun-warmed, peaceful, and just a little bit dreamy. We will head to a pub near the station when we finish for a pint or/and lunch. ## ๐Ÿ“… **Event Details** **Meeting Point:** Eynsford Station (Start / Finish) **Meeting Time:** 10:15 AM for 10:30 AM sharp start. **Distance:** approx. 12 to 15 km **Elevation:** \~300 m approx **Difficulty:** Moderate **Pace:** Steady **Estimated Finish:** Around 2 PM ## ๐ŸŒฟ **Route Highlights** * **Eynsford Viaduct Viewpoint** โ€” one of Kentโ€™s most photogenic spots, especially in summer light. * **Ancient woodland paths** around Ashen Bank, offering shade and cool forest air. * **Shoreham Village** โ€” postcardโ€‘perfect with its stone bridge and riverside charm. * **Darent Valley Path** โ€” peaceful riverside walking with open fields and gentle breezes. * **Shoreham Lavender Fields** โ€” with sweeping purple rows and great photo opportunities. * **Lullingstone Country Park** and **Castle** โ€” meadows, woodlands, and a relaxed finish back toward Eynsford. This is a circular route full of **colour, greenery, and soft summer atmosphere** โ€” the kind of day that feels wrapped in the easy warmth of summer countryside. ## ๐ŸŽ’ **What to Bring** * Comfortable hiking boots or sturdy shoes * At least **2L of water** * Packed snacks * Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) * Light layers โ€” summer can still surprise * Good vibes and your best Sundayโ€‘summer energy ## ๐Ÿ“Œ **Important Notes** * **Stay Together:** Please stay with or behind the hike leader to keep the group moving smoothly and regular catch ups. * **Respect the Area:** Parts of the route pass through the **Kent Downs National Landscape** โ€” please respect wildlife, fields, and local guidelines. * **Group Rules:** Please read the โ€œAbout Usโ€ section before joining: [https://www.meetup.com/free-hiking-outdoor-fitness-and-social-activities](https://www.meetup.com/free-hiking-outdoor-fitness-and-social-activities?utm_source=copilot.com%20%22www.meetup.com%22) * **Safety:** This is a voluntary activity.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it โ€œseems good,โ€ and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, weโ€™ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. Weโ€™ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. Weโ€™ll cover: * Why โ€œit looks goodโ€ is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works โ€” and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, youโ€™ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
