'Historic Clerkenwell Treasure Hunt' - can you find the treasure?
Come along on Saturday 28th March for treasure hunt around the historic area of Clerkenwell!
The treasure hunts are a good way to get to know a museum, gallery or area of London whilst meeting new people.
**About the area**
Clerkenwell took its name from the Clerks' Well in Farringdon Lane. Which came from 'Clerken' which is an old English word meaning literate person or clergyman.
The Monastic Order of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem had its English headquarters at the Priory of Clerkenwell. The order was founded to provide medical assistance during the crusades and St. John's Gate (built in 1504) survives in the rebuilt form of the Priory Gate.
In the 17th century before Clerkenwell became a built-up area, it had a reputation as a resort a short walk out of the city, where Londoners could disport themselves at its spas, springs, tea gardens and theatres.
In the 20th century, the area was associated with radicalism and in 1902, Vladimir Lenin moved the publication of the Iskra to 37a Clerkenwell Green, and issues 22 to 38 were edited there. It is said that Lenin and a young Joseph Stalin met in the Crown and Anchor pub (now known as The Crown Tavern) on the Green when the latter was visiting London in 1903.
**How it works**
Come along at 1:30pm and you will be randomly divided into teams of 3 people (or you can choose your own team beforehand). For fairness, any London Guides or Blue Badge Tour Guides won't be allowed to take part.
Then each team will be given 15-20 written clues which you have to find the answers for. It's up to your team to work together to find the answers. The answers will be found on blue plaques or statues. You can answer them in any order and you will be provided with a map of the area to help you. It's not a race, so you can take your time getting to know Clerkenwell.
The treasure hunts are a good way to get to know the an area of London whilst meeting and getting to know new people!
**Prizes**
The team to get the most correct answers and then return to base (a local pub or cafe) will win book vouchers for Waterstones bookshops of £10 per person.
If more than one team gets the top score, there will be a tie break question back at the pub.
A £5 gift voucher per person will be given to each member of the team coming in second place and prizes will be given to each member of the team with the best team name.
**Cost**
Its £7 per person to take part (payable by cash or credit card on the day), apart from Full Members where it is free!

Cinema: Gaslight (1940)
* This is a different, earlier version than the 1944 film (that one was with Ingrid Bergman, Angela Lansbury, Charles Boyer)
I must admit that I didn't know that there is an earlier version than the 1944 film, I couldn't find it on imdb because it was released as Angel Street in the US. This version is said to be truer to the stage play Gas Light from 1938. The cast of this 1940 version is Anton Walbrook, Diana Wynyard, Frank Pettingell, Cathleen Cordell.

This is part of the [4 Year Anniversary](https://www.thegardencinema.co.uk/season/4-year-anniversary/) celebration of the Garden Cinema's existence. It is my favourite cinema.
"The original screen adaptation of the Patrick Hamilton play stars Anton Walbrook as a calculating husband who attempts to make his wife think she is going insane so that he can locate her hidden family jewels. Oscar-nominee Diana Wynyard is his turn-of-the-century bride who moves into the house where her aunt was murdered and begins to fear she's going mad."

The Surrey Hills are steeped in medieval history, scattered with ancient earthworks and long-forgotten ruins, and anchored by market towns such as Guildford, which flourished through medieval life and trade.
This feline-inspired trail – in the vein of King Richard himself, the original Lionheart – criss-crosses historic footpaths, bridleways, and leafy lanes from times past, granting hikers exceptional access to an exquisite landscape of woodlands and testing hills, peppered with plenty of thrills to challenge your kitty prowess and awaken your inner tiger-mite.
A hike forged in the cherished memory of Leon 🐾

Hampstead Heath Nature Walk: 1 Year Anniversary of Trail Therapy
**Come celebrate both the start of spring and our 1 year anniversary of Trail Therapy** with a special 9KM anniversary hike around Hampstead Heath, one of London’s wildest green spaces.
To mark 1 year of our community existing, we’re hosting a beautiful walk in central London that will cover some of the Heath’s most iconic spots. Expect hills, woodland paths, historic landmarks, and one of the best viewpoints in London… all wrapped into a social, steady-paced walk designed for connection, fun, and fresh air.
**Whether you’ve been walking with us since the start or you’re joining for the first time, this event is a celebration of the community we’ve built over the past year.**

We’ll begin by passing the ponds and meadows, before walking into the Heath’s woodland paths, and uphill to a few of its most iconic sites - the pergola & hill garden, Kenwood House and Parliament Hill. Hampstead Heath covers nearly 320 hectares and feels more like countryside than city — especially in winter/spring months.
Along the route, we’ll explore:
* Ancient woodland and winding nature trails
* Open heathland with views across London’s skyline
* Hampstead Heath’s famous ponds and wetlands
* If we are lucky, winter birds, foxes, and other urban wildlife
* Quiet corners and hidden paths many Londoners never find
We’ll take our time to enjoy the landscape, stop for photos, and soak up the atmosphere of one of London’s most beloved green spaces.
**📏 Hike Details:**
* Distance: 9 km
* Elevation gain: 180 m
* Estimated duration: 3–4 hours (including breaks)
* Difficulty level: Easy/Moderate urban-nature walk - there will be some hills.
* Toilets: Available near cafés and facilities on the Heath

March Meeting 2 - The Sea of Tranquility (Emily St. John Mandel)
In the Sunday meeting for March, we will read Emily St. John Mandel's sixth novel, 2022 effort *The Sea of Tranquility*. The winner of that year's Goodreads Choice Award for Best Science Fiction, '[it] is a novel that investigates the idea of parallel worlds and possibilities, that plays with the very line along which time should run. Perceptive and poignant about art, and love, and what we must do to survive, it is incredibly compelling.' (Book jacket)
'Another tour de force of imagination and dazzling construction from the author of *Station Eleven* and *The Glass Hotel*, Mandel's audacious time travel novel intertwines the stories of an Edwardian exile in British Columbia and an Earth-hopping writer two centuries later.'
-Waterstones
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58446227-sea-of-tranquility
The meeting will take place at The New Moon in Leadenhall Market. So come along for some classic pub food as we dive into this fascinating book!
N.B. We will be charging an event fee of £3, non-refundable, to discourage no-shows and contribute to the running costs of the group. Please only sign up if you intend to come along as space is limited to make for an effective discussion!

Continue reading for a general description of the game:
Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by 5 to 20 players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by an experienced Storyteller.
During a 'day' phase players socialize openly and whisper privately to trade knowledge or spread lies, culminating in a player's execution if a majority suspects them of being Evil.
At 'night' time, players close their eyes and some are woken one at a time by the Storyteller to gather information, spread mischief, or kill. Use all your powers of deduction and deception to survive this game of murder and mystery.
The game will be fully explained at the event.

The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters.
QUICK WORD OF WARNING: The film hasn’t screened for critics yet and most of the details are being kept tightly under wraps. But, early buzz (possibly promotional) says the film is a brilliant psychological thriller/romance but also provocative, twisty and some contains occasional uncomfortable viewing! I love the cast and trailer, so look forward to seeing for ourselves!
ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas!
TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk)
PLAN: We’ll plan for 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised. Possibly post-movie get-together at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Discount Tuesday: THEY WILL KILL YOU at the Gateway Film Center!
Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great films! Option 1 is the dark comedy/drama based on a true story TOW! The film stars Rose Byrne as a homeless Seattle woman how battles a towing company. Option 2 is the off-the-rails, over-the-top, action-comedy-horror THEY WILL KILL YOU! The film stars Zazie Beetz as a woman who answers a help wanted ad to be a housekeeper in a mysterious New York City high-rise not knowing its mysterious past! Here are details, trailers and our plan for this event:
TOW: This dark comedy/drama is based on a true story and follows a homeless Seattle woman who fights her way out of "tow-company hell" to reclaim the car that had held her life together after receiving a tow bill for $21,634. The film stars Rose Byrne, Ariana DeBose, Demi Lovato, Octavia Spencer, Dominic Sessa, Elsie Fisher and Simon Rex! The film premiered to solid reviews at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival where critics declared, “TOW is a winner!” It’s “a story of perseverance, heart, and real fight, the kind of small human story we see less frequently these days, but need now more than ever.” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdkpcsuPAhA
THEY WILL KILL YOU: A woman takes a job as a housekeeper in a NYC high-rise, unaware of the building's history of disappearances. She soon realizes the community is shrouded in mystery. The film is directed by Kirill Sokolov and Zadie Beetz, Myha'la, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette. The film is being released immediately following its premiere at this year’s SXSW Festival earlier this month. Early reviews say it’s “an adrenaline rush of action-packed fights, tons of blood and gore and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments” and a movie that’s “unafraid to march to its own campy, violent, and clever little drummer!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYqQPiXpi4w
PLAN: Not exactly a “Choose Your Movie” event, more like an early show and a late one (or both if you’re feeling sparky)!
\* If you’d like to see TOW, please purchase your ticket for the 5:00pm showing and meet in the upstairs lobby between 4:40 and 4:50pm!
\* If you plan to see THEY WILL KILL YOU, please purchase your ticket for the 7:45pm showing and meet in the upstairs lobby between 7:25 and 7:35pm!
\* Tickets for both films on sale now and advance purchase is advised! Tickets just $5.00 ($6.50 after online fees when purchased via the GFC website). Once you have yours, please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event.
\* Also, as a reminder, close, convenient parking available in the nearby garage (Between 9th and 11th, just off High) and just $2 when you have your ticket validated at the theater!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
Risky Business
...and speaking of breakthrough roles: who can forget the first time we saw Tom Cruise singing Bob Seeger in his underwear? Often considered an updated 1983 version of The Graduate, the movie sparkles with memorable lines and original music. I only regret that I was never told that "Princeton could use someone like Bob..."
See the movie first and join us for some "Cruisin'"
IN PERSON in Columbus: Creative Deal Autopsies + Wholesaling 101
(Note: RSVPing here on Meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you'll need to register at our website, **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=IN-PERSON-in-Columbus-Creative-Deal-Autopsies-Wholesaling-101-14-4-7-2026)**.)
The market changed—and most investors are still operating like it didn't.
Deals that used to work don't.
Buyers want different things.
And a lot of what's being taught right now is outdated or just wrong.
And, since 2011, it's been our job to make sure that our members are armed with the most up-to-date, real-world strategies for building wealth in Central Ohio real estate…
…so our mission with this meeting (and every meeting) is to give you the no-hype, warts-and-all info you need to succeed.
First, Wholesaling 101—a clear, real-world look at how wholesaling actually works today, what to pay, and how to stay out of trouble.
Then, Creative Deal Autopsies—real investors breaking down real deals with real numbers, real conversations, and real outcomes.
You'll also get the chance to put the presenters in the hot seat and ask any and every question you have about how they did their deals.
You'll learn:
1. What wholesaling actually is
2. How to calculate real offers
3. Where deals are coming from now
4. What buyers want
5. How creative deals are structured
6. What contracts and terms are used
7. What can go wrong—and how to avoid it
**Agenda:**
5:00–6:00: Free Light Dinner and Networking
6:00: Earlybird Meeting – Wholesaling 101
7:00: Buy-Sell-Trade (members only)
7:30: Creative Deal Autopsies
Members: Free
First-time guests: Free
Non-members: $35 (or join for $30 instead)
Remember, to actually reserve your seat, you have to go **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=IN-PERSON-in-Columbus-Creative-Deal-Autopsies-Wholesaling-101-14-4-7-2026)** and register on our website!
Shut Up & Write!™ Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Saturday!
