After the run, we will head to the Horatia pub for some drinks

Kayaking Pool Session at Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre. Please read full post. The pool sessions are a fantastic way to practice kayaking in a warm and clean environment. Everyone is welcome to join us Thursdays from October to April. A few spaces are available each week for non-members. Poolside **7:45** for boat collection and set up. In the water from 8-9pm and we usually go for a drink afterwards. Come to try kayaking for the first time or, for more experienced paddlers, practice different strokes, edging, bracing, rescues, rolls etc. If this is your first time, it would be helpful to message the organiser to let them know if you have any previous experience and what you hope to get from the session. We provide the following gear: boat, paddle and helmet. Wear a swimsuit and shorts/leggings/T-shirt/rash vest as appropriate. For rolling and some rescue practice, you will need your own neoprene spray deck, and nose clip & goggles are recommended. Tell reception that you are there for the kayak session. They will let you through and someone should be poolside to greet you. There are lockers in the changing rooms which need a £1 coin. First-timers, don’t hesitate to message me with any questions. Rules: A. Handle boats with care to avoid damage to pool surface B. No seal launches to avoid damage to pool surface C. Boat entry & exit via shallow end of pool only D. Helmets must be worn by all participants on the water E. No free swimming whilst boats are on the water

***PLEASE NOTE:*** *Signup for our events must be made through the London Sailing Club website, and not via Meetup - [click here to register](https://www.londonsailing.club/Events/Calendar/View?id=199). If you are not already a member of the club you will need to become a full or social member which you can do [by clicking here](https://www.londonsailing.club/Registration/Register?isSlotReAssignment=False).* **Want to practise your boat handling skills or gain more confidence parking yachts in marinas? Fancy refreshing your night sailing skills? Join us for a busy 24 hours to do both, in time for a new sailing season.** Parking a boat and night sailing are two of the things we learn on our Day Skipper course, but they can continue to cause anxiety even for experienced sailors. To give club members an opportunity to practise these skills before a new sailing season gets underway in earnest, we're running two training days in February - this page is for the trip on Saturday / Sunday but [click here](https://www.londonsailing.club/Events/Calendar/View?id=193) if you would prefer to come on Friday / Saturday. This is a non-commercial trip costing £130 run on a shared-cost basis. *Plan* Arrive at Port Hamble marina for a quick dinner (not included in the event cost), an evening briefing, and few hours of night sailing in the Solent. After returning to the marina, the following day will be spent practising close quarters boat handling, including berthing/unberthing the yacht in various scenarios and different states of tide. If there is time there may be an opportunity to practise other skills like MOB recovery or mooring under sail but the focus will be on close quarters manoeuvring. The boat will return to the marina for a quick tidy-up, and you should be free to leave by 4pm. No formal instruction will be offered, and everyone aboard will do an equal share of the driving and the leading of the manoeuvres. Simon Tottman will act as the Skipper and will have final say on the itinerary. The weekend is being organised by Club Chair Maurice MacSweeney. *Participants* This event is not suitable for beginners and those attending will already need to have had some sailing experience, and most likely will have completed a Day Skipper practical course. Priority will be given to those participating in the club's Take The Helm programme, and those who have expressed interest in skippering for future club trips. We want to give as many members as possible the opportunity to practise their skills, so whilst you are welcome to express interest in attending both days, we may not be able to confirm your place for[ the additional day](https://www.londonsailing.club/Events/Calendar/View?id=193) until nearer the time. *Yacht* We’ve chartered a 37ft Beneteau Oceanis. It's coded for 8 people but we'll be a maximum of 5 plus skipper to ensure everyone has enough space and plenty of time on the helm. Accommodation will be aboard the yacht in shared double cabins. *Skipper* This event is skippered by club member and former Chair Simon Tottman, who has skippered well over 200 days / 5000 miles on yachts from 37’ to 53’, mainly in the Solent but also in the Med and Caribbean, as well as skippering Round the Island and Cowes Week races and crewing across the Atlantic. Simon holds the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore, Yachtmaster Instructor, VHF, PB2, First Aid, Sea Survival and Offshore Safety qualifications. *Kit* No special or expensive sailing kit required! Just bring practical footwear and warm clothing to suit the weather forecast - you're likely to need warm layers. Lifejackets are provided. Foul weather gear can be hired locally if needed. Towels and bedding aren’t provided, so please bring a towel, pillow and sleeping bag. Don't forget to bring some gloves, a warm hat and, if you have one, a headtorch with a red light. *Cost* This is a non-commercial trip run on a shared-cost basis. The cost is £130 per person, which covers the yacht charter, fuel, marina/harbour fees, breakfasts, lunches, snacks and soft drinks, and a £5 contribution to the club's Muck Up Fund which allows us to help skippers on club trips manage the risk of accidental damage caused by trip participants. The event fee doesn’t cover evening meals or getting yourself to/from the trip. We ask for the full amount up front to secure your place. Note that, because this trip is being advertised via the London Sailing Club’s platforms, any participant who is not already a full member of the Club (which costs £24 per year) will need to join prior to the start of the trip. London Sailing Club terms and conditions apply.

Join us for a night of board gaming with FANG (Fem All Night Gaming). **We are an all fem board game group** in Columbus, Ohio. No cis-men, please! We play modern hobby board games!

Giant Eagle has a lot of food and beverage options including their hot foods bars. You are also welcome to bring in any outside food.

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each.

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
