**Join us for lunch at Mercato Metropolitano Canary Wharf!** Located in Canary Wharf’s new riverside neighbourhood, MM Wood Wharf has been a vibrant artisanal food market since May 2022, known for its bold global flavours and lively atmosphere. These venues normally work well for our group - everybody can choose from a wide selection of food and drink of different cuisines. Options include Italian Burgers and Sausages, Chinese Street Food and Basque Cheese Cake. We have reserved 2 private igloos, with each able to sit 10 people. The igloos are warm even if the weather is not the best on the day. The igloors are at the back of the venue - facing towards the dock. Mercato Metropolitano is a short walk from Canary Wharf underground and DLR stations. If you arrive via the Jubilee line, you should leave the underground station via the **west** exit (Upper Bank Street and Montgomery Square). Cross Montgomery Square and walk straight over the bridge into Wood Wharf. It is slightly further from the DLR, but still only around 10 minutes walk. You can walk via the shoping centre, or head in a westerly direction along the road, towards the State Street building. There are signs pointing to Wood Wharf. The full venue address is Wood Wharf, 6 George St, Canary Wharf Estate, London E14 9QG. For more information, see https://mercatometropolitano.com/locations/wood-wharf/

While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon
