THIS DINNER IS A PRIVATE EVENT (with some members of this Meetup group) AND IS FULLY BOOKED. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A FUTURE DINNER WITH ADAM THOMASON POST A COMMENT TO JOIN THE WAITLIST AND YOU WILL BE OFFERED FIRST REFUSAL FOR THE NEXT ONE. **ADAM THOMASON:** is a Michelin-trained chef who worked at Noma for 3 years and also at Sat Bains in Nottingham. In October 2017, Adam picked up two culinary accolades, taking second place in Craft Guild of Chefs’ National Chef of the Year for the second year in succession. He was also awarded a prestigious Master of Culinary Arts (MCA) by the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts. **FOOD:** Adam is offering a fabulous tasting menu for £110 for us to enjoy at his home in Streatham Hill. There is no menu yet as Adam will decide what to cook in the week depending on what is fresh and available at the time. The meal will start with some delicious canapes (see the photo of a previous event), home made breads and butters, and then there will be several further scrumptious courses! Having eaten his food on several previous occasions I can guarantee that it will be a gastronomic feast of Michelin Starred quality. Adam also matches the food to my wine selections! **DIETARY ISSUES:** This event is suited to 'flexible' diners, however if you have any allergies or dietary requirements please mention these when you RSVP so that I can let Adam know. If you do not mention any allergies in your RSVP, the menu cannot be changed on the night. **WINES:** Adam includes a glass of sparkling wine as a welcome drink. To complement the high quality food, I will take 2 bottles each of 2 white and 2 red wines, 2 x 50cl bottles of a dessert wine, and a bottle of port, all with an average retail price of £25 per bottle. So over the whole evening there will be a bottle of fine wine per head. **The 'ticket price' for this event is £145 which includes:** Adam's tasting menu and a welcome glass of sparkling wine The selection of fine wines I will take Transport of wines to the event With this quality of food and wine, you would pay at least double this amount in a Michelin starred restaurant! We will be seated around one long table and numbers will be limited to 13 people. **PAYMENT IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE:** The fees which Meetup would charge Organiser and Participants come to £10 per person for this event. To avoid these charges I will be collecting money by Paypal Friends and Family or by bank transfer. After you RSVP please let me know how you would like to pay. If you do not respond and pay within 48 hours, I will change your RSVP to 'Not Going' **LOCATION:** Streatham Hill, within 3-5 minutes from the station. We have been asked to arrive at 18:30 with the dinner starting at 19:00. The whole experience lasts several hours and we will need to leave by 23:15 latest. Adam’s address will be emailed to all attendees 2-3 days before the event, but it is very near Streatham Hill Station (3-5 mins walk). **REFUND POLICY:** If you cancel your place by TBA latest you will get a refund of £140 but, IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE, only if there is someone on the 'waitlist' who books and pays for your place. TO MAKE IT CLEAR - NO REFUNDS UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE PAYS FOR A CANCELLED PLACE. **WAITLIST:** If this event is fully booked and you would like to attend if someone cancels, post a comment in the event to let me know that you are interested. Cheers, Christos

Chinese calligraphy is not just beautiful writing - it is one of the oldest living art forms in Chinese culture, shaped by centuries of scholarship, philosophy, and aesthetics. In this guided 1-hour class at Amitabha Garden, you will learn traditional brush technique step by step, while also understanding the cultural roots behind what you are practising. ​ You do not need to read or write Chinese. This class is beginner-friendly, calm, and genuinely hands-on. ## Why Chinese calligraphy matters in Chinese culture For thousands of years, calligraphy has been a cornerstone of Chinese culture, alongside poetry and painting. Each stroke is a balance of structure and flow, where posture, breath, and intention shape the result. ​ This class is designed to help you feel that tradition through practice, not just hear about it. ## What you will learn (guided, step by step) * How to hold and control the brush comfortably * Foundational strokes and the rhythm behind them * Ink control: pressure, speed, and line weight * Simple composition so your writing looks balanced and intentional * A short guided practice you can repeat at home ## What is included * All materials provided during the session * Complimentary Chinese tea of the season * A calligraphy starter set to take home, so you can keep practising after the class ## Who this class is for * You want a cultural experience in London that feels authentic and grounded * You are curious about Chinese culture and want a hands-on entry point * You want a calm, screen-free activity in Greenwich * You enjoy learning a skill with depth and tradition behind it ## FAQ Do I need to speak or read Chinese? No. This is not a language lesson. You will be guided through technique and structure in a beginner-friendly way. ​ Is it more “art” or “language”? Art and culture first. You will practise characters as forms, with context for what you are doing. ​ What should I wear or bring? Nothing special. We provide everything. Sleeves that roll up easily are helpful. ​ Can I book for a larger group? Yes, please enquire via the contact details on our website.

**If you’ve been saying “I really want to meet new people this year”… this is your sign.** THIS IS A PAID EVENT, TICKETS HERE - https://www.tickettailor.com/events/greatperhaps **Girly Wine Night** started because making friends as an adult in London can be surprisingly hard — even when you’re outgoing. You can go out, be surrounded by people, and still leave without really connecting. So I created the kind of night I wished existed: **warm, welcoming, and built for real conversation**. This March edition is a **Friday Social** — meaning no big activity, no pressure, just a really fun, cosy night where it’s easy to chat and mix. We’ll do a few quick icebreakers (nothing cringe, promise), then a **mini team trivia** in small table groups — plus loads of time to hang out, laugh, and actually get to know people. ### Drinks in parity ✨ We serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in **full parity** — same moment, same glass, same vibe. No awkward “different drink” energy and no assumptions. ### What your ticket includes: 1. **Welcome drink** **Wednesday’s Domaine Welcome** **Sparkling** (served to everyone) 2. **One drink of your choice** Choose **one drink** from the wine selection on the night — **alcoholic or non-alcoholic** 3. **Sharing snack boards for the table** Shared nibbles like **focaccia, olives, and similar bits** for your group/table **Other food and drinks will also be available to purchase** during the evening if you fancy more. Come solo or with a friend — either way, you’ll be so welcome 💛 ### Photos & content We’ll be taking a few photos and short videos on the night to share on Girly Wine Night (website + socials). If you’d rather not be in any content at all, just let me know when you arrive (or DM me beforehand) and I’ll make sure you’re not included 💛 ### Drinking responsibly We’re all about a fun, feel-good night — please drink responsibly and look after yourself (and each other). We also do **alcoholic + non-alcoholic drinks in full parity**, so you can absolutely keep it no/low-alc and still have the exact same vibe. If you need water at any point, just ask.

The 2023 Maranges La Fussières 1er Cru Rouge is blended with 30% whole bunch. This has an understated bouquet with light earthy red fruit with sous-bois and mineral scents. It opens succinctly in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins, very poised, airy and transparent yet with real weight and presence on the finish. Bon vin! **2023 Louis Latour Pouilly-Fuissé** 92 Pts. J.Suckling Lemon pith, honeysuckle, lanolin, grapefruit and wet river stones. The midweight palate has a generous, textural mouthfeel and bright acidity, leading into a fruit-driven, powerful finish with finesse. A lovely chardonnay with instant gratification.

This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*
