Poetry London Social at the South Bank Centre
This event is a **poetry social**, a chance to meet poets and share your poetry and poetry thoughts informally.
Please be aware this is not our regular session of around the table poetry sharing, but a **chance to chat and connect with other London poets**. That said, you are of course welcome to read and perform your poetry for those who want to hear it. Just be aware there can be some background noise in the area where we meet.
There will be some tables and chairs set up for us **outside the poetry library on the fifth floor**. Coffee and tea are available in the cafe on the ground floor. Also be aware there may be some external noise from the nearby children's library and south bank centre members attending events.
If you have not attended our group before, please introduce yourself to David, the organiser.
This session is right next to the poetry library, so a perfect opportunity to browse and share published poetry with others as well. Make sure to be quiet when inside and using the library.
Muse: The Cinephiles present 'The Chronology of Water'

**DATE:** Sunday 1st March - Doors open at 4.45pm for nibbles and sips
* **Join us for pre-drinks at 4.45pmThe screening will start at 5.30pm**
**TICKETS:** £8.85/ £5+ members [TICKETS HERE](https://www.picturehouses.com/movie-details/000/HO00017593/club-room-x-muse-the-chronology-of-water/0000000171?filter=)
“Your life doesn’t happen in any kind of order. Events don’t have cause and effect relationships the way you wish they did. It’s all a series of fragments and repetitions and pattern formations. Language and water have this in common.”
\~ Lidia Yuknavitch
Directed by Kristen Stewart and based on Lidia Yuknavitch’s acclaimed memoir, this film is where cinema and memoir collide, and where water isn’t just the element, but a metaphor: for pain, for pleasure and for the lasting echo of a queer life lived fully.
*The Chronology of Water* traces the fragmented life of writer Lidia Yuknavitch, moving fluidly through childhood trauma, competitive swimming, sex, addiction, and artistic awakening. Told in impressionistic bursts rather than a linear narrative, the film treats memory like water—unstable, embodied, and impossible to contain. It’s less about redemption than survival: how a queer, unruly self is shaped through pain, desire, and the radical act of telling one’s own story.
**About Muse: The Cinephiles**
This is a cinephiles group for lesbians, queer and trans women predominantly, but is also open to the wider LGBTQIA+ community and their guests. We are committed to celebrating our queer community within a co-created ethos of mutual respect and kindness. We affirm and celebrate trans and non-binary people as member of our community. We stand against transphobia in all its forms.
Our aim is to provide a queer cinephiles group that stimulates a mix of thoughtful discussion, playfulness, and curiosity. Our screenings will focus predominantly on celebrating lesbian, queer and trans women – showcasing both celebrated and hidden queer cinema gems, we aim to foster a playful curiosity and build a vibrant, supportive community.
**Please note:** PHOTOS & VIDEOS will be taken at our events. Some of these will be posted on our social media. Please come and chat to a host if you would prefer not to appear online.

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
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.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:
