Picnic at the Speakers' Corner
The Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park is a historic site for public speaking, debate, and protest. Let's meetup there to listen and watch. If we're lucky, there will be talented speakers.
Then we will look for a spot away from the attention of the crowd and practice a few speaking rounds between ourselves. Being outdoors, we will train clear articulation and voice projection.
What works to get the attention of listeners: being bigger than life, showering them with good energy, pleasure to be alive, enthusiasm!
Then we will sit on the grass and eat sandwiches from our bags.
I, Jean-Marc will lead this session. As a storyteller (storytelling is a performing art) I have the experience of being on stage, on my own, and hold adults' or children's attention for one hour or more. When I came to London, I retrained my skills speaking English with Toastmasters.
Please don't RSVP Yes if you are not determined to turn up.

Anyone interested in travel or outdoor insurance should also arrange this on their own. As mentioned above we always take extreme precautions, but some people may still feel safer if covered.

Capital Ring Part 13 - Stoke Newington to Hackney Wick
We will be walking section 13 out of 15 of the Capital Ring walk. Starting from Stoke Newington station, we will walk through Springfield park and alongside the river Lea, before finishing at Hackney Wick train station. This section of the capital ring is one of the shorter sections and fairly level, we will be walking for approximately one and three quarter hours with a break in between. It can get muddy so bring suitable footwear and clothing if it looks like rain or has been raining.
I'll keep a watch on the forecast and will cancel the event a day or two before if the weather is looking bad, so keep an eye on the event chat which I'll update a day or two before to confirm we are going ahead.
We will meet just outside Stoke Newington station at 10:45. Unless there is a transport issue affecting everyone, we will aim to start off on the walk at 11am. I will add my location tracking on Glympse so if you are late, we will not wait but you will be able to catch us up.
After the walk at Hackney Wick I am planning on heading to a local pub, the Lord Napier Star, for a drink and a bite to eat. The last time I came here they did a good Sunday Roast, if you are up for coming along please indicate in the comments. I'm estimating we would reach the end of the walk at Hackney Wick for about 12:30pm.

'The Coming of Age' exhibition @ the Wellcome Collection!
Come along on Sunday 3rd May for a visit to the Wellcome Collection to see a new exhibition on 'the Coming of Age'.
**About the exhibition**
‘The Coming of Age’ exhibition explores experiences and perceptions of ageing, from adolescence to later life, and asks how societies can adapt for us all to age better.
Across the globe, people are living longer. One in ten children in the UK are expected to live beyond the age of 100. But who gets to live longer and ‘age well’? This exhibition explores how experiences of age are shaped by our environment, culture and society.
The exhibition features more than 120 artworks and objects, from historical artefacts to works by contemporary artists.
It brings together different perspectives from art, science and popular culture, challenging assumptions about life stages and asks what greater longevity means for all of us.

🥾 **Hike Description**
Our journey begins in the historic village of **Meopham**, reputedly the longest village in England, stretching for 11km with two medieval greens. From the northern end we pass one of these greens before delving into a landscape of rolling chalk downland, with its patchwork of pastures, hedgerows and ancient woodland.
At the southern end of Meopham we pause at the second green to admire **Killick’s Windmill**, a rare 19th-century smock mill, and to take in the traditional village atmosphere — perhaps even a cricket match on the green. (Michael Gambon, of Dumbledore fame, also lived here.)
From here our route leads into quiet **North Downs valleys**, where wildlife thrives and chalk grasslands give way to pockets of shady woodland. The trail takes us through the charming old town of **Cobham**, rich in heritage, before we enter **Camer Park**, a former estate with sweeping meadows and centuries-old trees.
Our hike concludes in the hamlet of **Sole Street**, after a day immersed in the timeless Kent countryside of meadows, woods and historic villages.
