Then consider yourself warmly invited to join Badminton Banzai (For those curious, "Banzai" is a traditional Japanese expression that literally means "10,000 years". Historically, it used to be chanted for the emperor but in modern usage, it has now come to be an expression of appreciation.) I'm gathering a group of beginner to intermediate level players who play socially in South West London (Streatham, Norbury, Balham, Brixton, Toot …

I'm a Londoner with an extremely short attention span and a burning desire to get as much as possible out of this great city. There's not really much of a plan. Most events will probably be evening and London based but I'd also like to do the odd walk and day trip to Brighton / Cambridge / etc. I'd like to keep this as low budget for everyone as possible. A few ideas: Picnic in Regent's Park followed by outdoor Shakespeare production Dim Sum on the Southbank followed by a show A curry night on …

Instead of going out all lonely, let's share stargazing time! Sharing views through different telescopes/binoculars, and knowledge about the constellations/deep sky objects and how to find them. I founded this group partly as a curiosity to see if others want to stargaze around the same area too. There are other London groups, but not as many focussed on night viewings in London and specifically in Lambeth/Wandsworth, probably mostly at weekends when later finishes isn't a problem. It'll be much …

London Black Female Friendship Group I decided to start this group as I'm looking to bring together a small group of black females for authentic and genuine friendships. It's as simple as that really, but it will be sooo rewarding, because just having one friend... can bring you sooo much joy. As we grow older friendships change, as do circumstances, so our girlfriend circle gets smaller and smaller.. until we're left with that one slightly unreliable friend (you know what I'm talking about!). …
