It can be about tech, or anything else our members may find helpful along their life journey. No need for anything polished. The more people sign up, the shorter each talk. Want to give one? Let Stan know in the WhatsApp group. **\#\#\# 🎤 Karaoke: from 9pm** It's back! Questionable song choices, questionable singing, and hopefully some surprisingly good performances. 😂🎤 **\#\#\# 🍣 Food: from 7pm** Same format as last time: volunteers cook and bring a dish to share. It was really nice and a great way to build a closer bond. 🥰 Want to cook something? Let us know in the WhatsApp group! It's optional, so if you don't have time, just bring yourself. 🤤 ♻️ We can't guarantee anything for allergies, vegetarian/vegan or halal requirements. If you have dietary restrictions, please bring something that works for you. **\# 🍻 SUPPORT THE VENUE** The Ship gives us this space on the proviso that we spend at the bar,
