Are you a code ninja with two X chromosomes searching for a similar bunch of ladies to drink coffee and discuss code with? You’ve come to the right place. We meet bi-monthly to talk about one specific problem or topic. Using the powers of our collective minds, we toss around ideas and examine them together. We continue to develop our code-fu in the process. Everybody gets input on the question, and we vote beforehand. Think of it as a book club for coders. Yes, there will be tasty treats of the …

Would you like to meet up with like-minded bakers to share a cake/bake over a cup of coffee or tea? I would! The aim of the Wimbledon Baking Group is to provide a place for fellow bakers to meet socially, to chat, share recipes and techniques and, of course, to eat what we bring. Meetings are usually themed. Rules: each person brings one home-made cake. We meet once a month, and everyone gets to share and try the bakes. Simple.

Do check out, and bookmark, Robb's excellent VegEvents calendar, which includes our events and more. "In a world where animal use and abuse is so prevalent, becoming vegan can be a challenging and isolating experience. For me, becoming vegan was not only about a change to my diet, but a fundamental shift in my thinking and perception of the world, and talking to like minded sympathetic people was an invaluable support. I hope this group will be a place we can all come to share useful resources a …

I want to start a 'salon' on at least one Sunday afternoon each month, rather like an old fashioned 'at home' - you are invited for a traditional tea party; cucumber sandwiches, freshly baked scones and clotted cream, delicious cakes, a selection of different teas such as a first flush darjeeling or a tippy Assam, and perhaps a glass of fizz. I normally teach classes around this subject and love hosting parties. Stimulating conversation and an exchange of ideas and thoughts are welcomed.

Learning through laughter I am an ordinary person in everyway. I just enjoy laughing and I have found that through laughter, problems become less challenging, the day becomes much easier and one gets a real sense of being joyful.

Once we have found that happy place that seems so fleeting, we use this positive energy to help us set goals and resolve problems. The fee is £5. …

Have you ever given something you baked to a friend or family member and they said "Mmm this is amazing" and were sure if they were saying this just to be polite? I recently created a range of flapjacks that I wanted people to try to get an unbiased opinion, and have many more ideas up my sleeve. So I need some people to try them. Likewise, i'm sure there are more people out there who want other strangers to try their baked treats for any product development purposes, market research, or just a …
