How better to meet random people in a pub then with a session of Bullshit Scrabble (make up the words, and justify them to your new friends) or over a few rounds of Cards Against Humanity (“a game for truly horrible people”)? Or maybe you fancy trying out the best game to ever emerge from Germany? That’s right, the ridiculous Camel Up.
And if that doesn’t get you going, we also have other lesser-known gems like Rapidough (dictionary with play dough), Story Dice (an imagination stimulator like no other) or the sublime Love Letter (think Tinder without smartphones or shallow hook-ups). For the traditionalists amongst you we also have a number of Argos-based stalwarts including Chess, Draughts, Backgammon, Risk, Monopoly, Game Of Life, Operation, Hungry Hippos, Guess Who, and many more.
Organised by local nutjob David Harrison – him and his merry men have been running a regression session in the Dungeons & Dragons Speakeasy out back for the last couple of months. If you want in on that as well drop him a line on David@kililive.com.

He has since performed all over the world and recorded with Billy Cobham, Gabrielle, Tom Jones, Carl Orr, Alex Wilson, Nathan Haynes, Marlene Shaw, Dave Valentin and Jack DeJohnette.

Highgate councillors hold a surgery at the HLSI (Highgate Literary and Scientific Society, 11 South Grove, Pond Square) on the 2nd and 4th Saturday mornings, and at Jacksons Lane on the 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings. There is no surgery on 5th Saturdays.
Councillors’ surgeries provide the opportunity for a constituent to meet one of his/her councillors face-to-face. The purpose is usually to discuss and hopefully to help resolve a local or personal issue in which Haringey council has or could have a role. Meeting at a surgery can be particularly useful when there are numerous documents relevant to the issue. Surgeries are normally held in the members’ reading room of the HLSI, but a private space is available if required. No booking is needed.

What is Mindfulness?
‘Mindfulness’ is at the very heart of meditational practice and trains us to focus on the present moment. This allows us to gain insight into mental patterns that sometimes cause negative emotions. We also learn, through experience what it means to spend less time with our thoughts and spend more time in our bodies enjoying life. It can be practiced by people from all walks of life and is becoming more and more popular as a means of psychological treatment. There is now a strong evidence base demonstrating that it can be very beneficial for those experiencing depression and anxiety, as well as many other conditions. Mindfulness allows us to make friends with our thinking mind making us less vulnerable to negative mental activity. Such practice can bring about a deep sense of inner peace and a fresh acceptance of reality itself.
The Eight Sessions
This new and innovative group will take place over eight weekly sessions, each of 2-hours duration and covers the fundamentals of mindfulness meditation, applied theory and practice. Some aspects of CBT will also be used within the course syllabus where required to help group members to deal with dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviours. This specific group has been successfully taught in several London universities and also within the NHS. This group will help you to:
- improve your focus and concentration levels
- lower bodily stress and increase relaxation
- explore how your mind works
- explore how your mind habitually creates unhealthy thought processes and worry
- help you to prevent the arising of depressive moods before they spiral
- achieve a robust and healthy mind, accepting reality and the world around you
- work towards acceptance of unhealthy emotions
- achieve a deep sense of calm, patience and stillness
- grow and mature as a true human being and explore what it means to be ‘me’
This will be particularly helpful for those people experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, attention problems or any condition involving a fast-thinking anxious mind.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Commitment to the full x8 weekly sessions is imperative, as is the diligent undertaking of daily life meditation tasks between sessions. Only those people who are willing to make the commitment and complete the between session tasks should attend. Places are limited to ensure a high quality of client support. This course is open to everyone but attendance must be booked in advance and approved by the course leader before the beginning of the programme. All attendees must be 18+ with any exceptions discussed prior to the beginning of the course.
