Hello and welcome! This is a space to come together, work on your projects (in silence), and get to know each other on Friday evenings, in the friendly West Norwood Library and Picturehouse building. **Structure** 18:00-18:30 Arrivals, casual introductions 18:30-19:30 Shut up and write 19:30 onwards Socialise and chat **Useful information** * We will be in the Picturehouse bar to the right of main entrance, next to the large street-facing windows. Look for tables with a sign. * There is no expectation to share or critique each other's work, and feel free to chat as much/little as you wish outside the silent hour. * Being late is ok - grab a chair and join us at any time. * The space typically starts closing at 20:30, but there are pubs around for people to continue conversations. * The Picturehouse bar is open to customers only, so please purchase something from the bar to enjoy using the space.
