30th May - Host Your Own Cafe: an Evening with the New Economics Foundation

Having good conversations with interesting open minded people that stretch your mind and enable you to learn what your own opinions are and have them moulded and grow into bigger ideas...its quite addictive. And so simple to organise, as Andy and I have found out.

There has been lots of interest in holding more cafes following the 3 Kitchen Conversations we've run this year.... SO we've been talking about this to Perry Walker, who runs the Democracy and Participation activities of the New Economics Foundation (NEF) and he would love to spend an evening with some would-be Cafe Hosts and inspire some more talking around the capital. As added incentive, there is still Electoral Commission sponsorship for other cafes that take place before the end of June - not that there needs to be any outlay. I know most of us are happy to pay for our own cups of tea and lots of good cafes are happy to have conversations happening.

We'll also look at the 'Democs' game that Perry has devised http://www.neweconomics.org/gen/democs.aspx and have a chance to see the short video from our last cafe.

Date: Tuesday 30th. Time: 7pm. Venue: Central London. Please contact us if you wish to come and we'll arrange the venue according to the size of our group.
