UPDATE: 23 August - I moved some speakers around
It’s still tentative but this is the rough plan for Interesting on 3 September.
A few tickets still available
NOTE WELL: We won’t be providing tea or coffee or anything. It’s Central London, there’ll be places nearby.
11am - I'll need a few volunteers to help put seats out and put bunting up. Please email me if you’re willing to do that.
11:30am - Doors open. Feel free to wander in. I think there’ll be a lot of people aiming to catch up with people they’ve not seen for a few years. This is a good opportunity for that. That’s why I’ve also included some decent time for lunch and a break in the afternoon.
Noon: GO! We’ll start with a little light introducing. I’ll tell you where the toilets and emergency exits are and we’re off.
