Play Werewolf - Southwark

Hello! Come and join us at our weekly Wherewolf event. We play multiple games across the evening, so you'll get more than one opportunity to play. Wherewolf is a game of secret roles, with most playing for the Village or the Wolves. Both teams are trying to eliminate the other, figuring out information about other players to guide themselves to victory. And with sneaky extra characters with their own individual goals thrown into the mix too, games often lead to exciting and dramatic endings. If this is your first time playing, you are absolutely welcome! Whether you've played similar games before, or you're totally brand new to social deduction games, we'd love to have you. Come along, we'll happily guide you through the rules of the game, it's easy to pick up. Everybody comes to have fun, so people will help you out. We look forward to seeing you!

SOLD OUT! - Photography Experience Day - Loxwood Joust! (Sunday 2nd August)

**Dear Lords, Ladies, and photographic squires!** **Loxwood Joust, the U.K.'s most spectacular medieval festival**, is back again this year and we will practice some **dramatic action photography!** This **amazing extravaganza** is held in the picturesque woodlands of West Sussex and **features full-contact jousting**, along with other daring displays of weaponry such as archery, as armoured knights meet in great numbers for the melee on the battlefield, AKA "The Meatgrinder", granting us many photographic opportunities. You can also "wander the Living History Village, situated in the Mediaeval Meadow, where inhabitants live and work exactly as they would have in the Middle Ages". Peruse their traditional wares in the Mediaeval Marketplace, where traders and hawkers vie for your attention and wandering minstrels, dance troupes, and a court jester entertain the crowds throughout the day." So several interesting and unusual portrait possibilities are available. Many re-enactment groups take part in Loxwood Joust each year so it is on a scale, unlike many other medieval events. Our previous photographic scouts scoured Loxwood for the **best photographic spots and opportunities**, devising battle tactics to enable you to **capture some amazing shots**! You can see some of our [past photos of the Loxwood Medieval Joust and battles here.](https://www.uk-photo-tours.com/photography-workshops/medieval-battles-photography-workshop/) **Please note:** There will be a maximum of 7 participants (plus your photo guide) so get in early! The Loxwood Joust event ends around 5.30-6.00 pm, so we expect to leave the event soon after and arrive back in central London around 7:30 pm. 𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: • Telephoto lenses eg 70-300mm, 70-200mm, 100-400mm, etc (recommended if you have but we'll have multiple telephoto setups for you to borrow – just bring a blank SD card). • Walkaround zoom (or kit) lens eg 18-55mm, 24-70mm (for environmental portraits and wide battlefield shots) • Monopods are permitted but likely not required unless bringing a heavy telephoto lens (we recommend hand-holding the camera). (No tripods, please.) 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐝: * Travel to and from central London (from Starbucks, Unit 1A Euston Tower, NW1 3DP), in our comfortable 8-seat vehicle * Entry ticket for Loxwood Joust * Photographic tuition at the event * Camera and telephoto lens setups available to borrow * Battery charging facilities if required (bring your USB or wall plug charger) 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐝: Food and drink Anything not otherwise stated as included. **Note:** Please dress for the weather. Hat, sunscreen, etc. It is England after all, so bring a light waterproof jacket/umbrella just in case and wear appropriate footwear for walking. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞❜𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭: We'll meet at Starbucks Coffee, Unit 1A Euston Tower Podium, Regents Place, London NW1 3DP, at 9.15 am and we'll talk about what to expect on the day and go through previous photos of the event and discuss settings, composition, etc. We'll be leaving Starbucks at 9.30 am. Please ensure you check TFL to arrive at the meeting point on time as we will have to leave exactly at 9.30 am sharp. Unfortunately, due to having to purchase the tickets, refunds will be unable to be given if you are late, hence our meeting time is a full 15 minutes before our departure. Please be sure you can attend before RSVPing yes, as refunds can only be given if your place is taken by another participant. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: This event is combined with 2 other photography Meetup groups that I run so RSVP numbers such as myself +3 means 3 members from the other groups attending. We look forward to seeing you there!

August's first Science Fiction meetup.

Would you enjoy a relaxed evening with fellow Science Fiction and Fantasy fans? If so, we’d love to meet you. Our next gathering takes place on **Saturday 8th August from 6pm** at **The Mad Hatter**, just by Blackfriars Bridge. Drop in, say hello, and join us for a drink. We’re a long‑running group that’s been meeting since **1998**—long before meetup sites existed. Over the years we’ve hosted celebrity meet‑and‑greets, attended conventions together, run role‑playing games, organised cinema trips, LARPs, and plenty more. These pub meetups are all about socialising and connecting with other Sci‑Fi and Fantasy enthusiasts. To help break the ice, we’ll be running a fun **team quiz at 8.30pm**. There’s no fee to attend—just pay for whatever food or drink you order at the venue.

AnimanJapan Anime & Manga Club!

If you love anime & manga then please join us for our weekly meetups, where we basically just sit, chat and read anime & manga! We usually sit in the back of the pub. If the weather is nice we may sit outside at the back of the pub, or even outside on the downstairs floor. In this meetup, you can BYOM (bring your own manga) or read one from the selection we will bring. See this as an opportunity to discover, recommend or simply enjoy Japanese comics & anime with like-minded people! Note: This is not a book club. Also, the TCR bar is kind enough to allow us to use their space to host this meetup, and has asked if possible for attendees to support the venue by purchasing a drink or food while you're there. Please don't bring your own food or drink to consume at the venue, as the venue does not allow this!
