Bienvenidos: It’s Latin American Time at Manor House

March 4th, 2010

Manor House Library staff are to host a great opportunity to regularly meet other Spanish speakers and to celebrate Latin America.

Should Spanish be your second language, this is also a chance to socialise and hone your language skills. The group will watch a movie or have a chat about a short-story by a Latin American author. Copies of the short stories will be provided in advance.

These are free evenings and will be held fortnightly on Thursdays, between 5 and 7 pm. The first session will be on Thurday 15th April.

Fairtrade events at Manor House Library

February 27th, 2010

FairtradeWe’re in the middle of Fairtrade fortnight (22nd Feb- 7th March) and to celebrate there are a few Fairtrade events coming up at Manor House Library:

  • borrow a book, CD or DVD and get a free fairtrade teabag (while stocks last!)
  • on Monday coming (1st March), the Manor House is hosting a Fairtrade Tea Dance from 2pm until 4pm.  Fairtrade tea and cakes are provided.  Call 8852 0357 to book your place.
  • there’ll be a showing of the Black Gold Movie ( a film about coffee and trade) on Saturday 6th March at 2.30pm
  • ‘The Luckiest Nut in the World’ is an event for kids and families on Sunday 7th March at 1pm

All sounds good – disappointed I can’t make it for the Fairtrade cake, but probably best that the public is spared my dancing…!

Icarus club – every Thursday at The Station

January 20th, 2010

The local assembly went well last night – I’ll do a proper write-up when I get the chance.  For now though, just a quick event plug:

The Icarus Club takes place every Thursday from 8pm at The Station pub on Staplehurst Road.  There’s jazz, blues and acoustic music.  It’s absolutely free, and apparently turning into a very popular night.  Do get yourself along.  More details on their blog here.

They’re also organising an event at Blackheath Halls this Friday,  when Darrell Scott will be headlining.  More details about that event, and the chance to buy tickets online here.
