"Climate change: I say the debate is over. We know the science, we see the threat and we know that the time for action is now" - Arnold Schwarzenegger Forget Skynet. Right now, AI's greatest threat to humanity is its demand for electricity. Anne Currie, co-author of O'Reilly's Building Green Software, will talk about why the energy demand from AI has exceeded anything we've seen before in tech; how that demand can and is being met using efficiency and flexibility by forward thinkers like Google and DeepSeek; and what you can do from your own desk that might have global impact on both the AI and the renewable power revolutions. Anne will be joining us remotely. Check out the Green Software Brighton [website](https://greensoftwarebrighton.co.uk/) for links to previous talks. Arrive from 18:00 for pizza and drinks. Talk will start at 18:30. We always head for a drink and a chat locally afterwards too. --- ***Thank you to Runway East for use of their space to host our events and to Silicon Brighton and the Green Software Foundation for supporting us.***

Join OverBoard to play the brilliant social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower in person at the brand new board game cafe Otter Chaos in Brixton. If you haven’t heard of Blood on the Clocktower before it is an evolution of classic party games like Mafia/Werewolf where a hidden evil team takes on the good team by lying and killing. The good team has a few tricks up their sleeve but will have to work together to deduce who the evil doers are in their midst. **This is a beginner friendly event so no experience with the game is necessary.** Please note that a gaming cover charge of \~£5 will be payable by each attendee to the venue so that we can make use of the space. We also encourage you to buy food and drink from the bar so we are supporting the business (I can highly recommend their pizzas!) If you want to know more about the rules of the game check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aZP47Nm9g

😮 50% OFF EVERYTHING AT AYRA TONIGHT UNTIL 6PM! 😮 Ayra are still running their happy hour seven days a week between 4pm and 6pm! During these times EVERYTHING will be 50% off - that's ALL food AND drink! Making Ayra likely more cost effective than eating at home 😂🤯 On top of that, they have a brand new menu they have launched recently too! And there will STILL BE FREE FOOD & FREE ENTRY! (read to the bottom to find out more)🍔... Along with our main venue opening hours of Tues, Thurs & Sat at The Mercury Mall, and after the huge success of the last few Weds at Ayra, we have made it our second home & are running official DWL sessions there every Weds for the foreseeable future! We will always keep running our main sessions at The Mercury Mall but our next Ayra session is tonight from 5pm-11pm (join us anytime during these times). You can find Ayra here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/rqMM1rkcK8UEfRfb8 Ayra 101 Brentwood Rd, Romford RM1 2EH In case you haven't been yet, Ayra's space is perfect for gaming - it's very large with many big tables (ideal for all types of games), full lighting & heating. Plus the food & drink options are exceptional. EXCITING FREE & DISCOUNTED FOOD!🍔🍛... After the 50% off offer ends at 6pm, they are still willing to offer us all 10% off all food every Weds plus another 10% of all your food orders will go to DWL. AND! They will again do a free sampling of food during the session - including free tasters of things like chicken tikka, onion bhajis, their legendary naan bread, samosas & possibly more! Vegi & Vegan options will be available too. Ayra does have a Bangladeshi & Indian themed menu but it also has plenty of more Anglicised options as well including, but not limited to their signature burger - one of the best burgers I've ever had! No lie. Plus all their food is homemade with 100% fresh & natural ingredients & yet is still excellent value for money. ☕GREAT SOFT & ALCOHOLIC DRINKS AVAILABLE AT AYRA🍺 Including their legendary Karak Chai! We again won't charge an entry fee for this session (feel free to put that towards a drink or food) & kids are allowed too (well behaved ones of course 😉) The pub is a 10min walk from Romford station, has plenty of free parking, & buses 165, 193 & 294 stop right outside with 370 & 496 stopping nearby too. We will have a small range of popular items in stock as well as a library of games! So please join us again this Weds & support DWL as well as a lovely local business whilst enjoying the usual fun & games. Hope to see you there, Dan ❤️🎴🎲🦐🍻
