The Weight Loss Collective
Sat, Oct 31, 9:00 AM**Weight Loss Collective – Weekly Group** **Our weekly Weight Loss Collective group is about so much more than getting weighed.** **Each week, we come together in a friendly, supportive environment to help you stay motivated, build healthier habits and understand what really influences your weight and wellbeing.** **You’ll receive practical support around nutrition, mindset, behaviour change, cravings, food noise, movement, confidence and real-life challenges. We also look beyond the number on the scales, celebrating progress such as inches lost, improved fitness, increased strength, better energy, clothes fitting differently and feeling more in control around food.** **There’s no judgement, no expectation of perfection and no “good” or “bad” foods. You’ll be supported to find an approach that works for your lifestyle and helps you create changes you can maintain.** **Come along each week for support, encouragement, learning, accountability and a community of people working towards their own goals.** **Your journey. Your choices. Your progress.**
National Gallery Picture Hunt
Mon, Nov 2, 1:30 PMPlease aim to turn up for 1:00-1:30 when teams are being arranged. The Hunt starts at 1:30. You're losing search time if you're late! Bring a pen please. **We meet outside the new Sainsburys entrance further down the building. I’ll be wearing a red Meetup cap.** The National Gallery was founded in 1824, after the British government bought a collection of 38 pictures from the banker and collector John Julius Angerstein, consisting of Italian, Dutch and English works. We have a unique take on Treasure Hunts that broadens your art knowledge while sleuthing around gallery rooms. You are all presented with a sheet of 20 part images taken from paintings in a few adjoining designated rooms. You will also have a map of the Gallery. The selected adjoining rooms are listed P, Q, R and S. The clipboard holder enters the room letter to note the image location. Your collective mission is to find them. Usually it’s groups of three to four depending on numbers. Or bring a team of up to three guests with you! Check previous winners and Hunt sheet in the pics below. Dead simple, right? Well, yes, if you can spot them all. Generally though, results are always close. Check photos for the previous Hunt sheet. If you’re new, you can see what your team has to do. Stella said " I was apprehensive about trying this, but once I did, I loved it, our team was great fun". We are a happy and friendly group whose membership for some now goes back ten years. It’s very addictive wandering around looking at famous artwork. Our events make you see new parts of a painting you hadn’t noticed before. Or that fresh work has been introduced. We’ve done quite a few in the last two years and feel very much at home here. We never get tired looking at famous art. I think we come here more often than paying Gallery members! There's plenty of seating around to take the odd rest and look at the same time. Our Treasure Hunts are interesting and challenging, bringing out the best of your teams detecting skills. We meet outside the Sainsburys entrance further down the building. Look out for me under a red Meetup cap! The starting process is as follows. The earlier your team sets off, the more time you have. So turning up early ready for a 1.30 start is a bonus. Team answer sheets have to be back by 3.15. We meet back in the area next to the Espresso cafe where we mark up. In case of a tiebreak, there will be a general art knowledge numerical question where the “nearest to” wins. First team prizes are interesting varieties of chocolate. There is also a prize for the funniest/outrageous team name. So there’s everything to play for. Some players are thinking of team names before they turn up! We always pop into a local pub or Wetherspoon (Magnus Pyke) for a quick drink after if anybody so wishes. Hunts are good fun and the proven experience so far is that members get to know each other better after working in teams as you all have to communicate. Great icebreakers. This is what Meetup is all about. Come and join us. **There is a £7 cash/card charge on the day. I supply a pen and clipboard but it helps you to bring a pen as well to mark your own sheets.** **Rucksacks now have to be worn front of body.** Items left in the cloakroom are charged at £3 per item. Contact number on the day is 07422334411 if your transport is delayed. If texting leave your name please. **Don’t forget to cancel via the “Edit RSVP” button if you can’t make it. Please do this well in advance when you know, so it allows good notice for someone else to take your place, and minimizes waiting about time on the day for other attendees.** **Your consideration is greatly appreciated.**

Southbank Vinyl
Wed, Nov 4, 7:30 PMWe're now back to where Southbank Vinyl began in 2017 - The Roebuck Pub in Borough (50 Great Dover St, London SE1 4YG). We're now meeting the first Wednesday of each month at the Roebuck, where great food and drink options are available and we have our own room upstairs to play our records on the deck. Come along with a bunch of vinyl you'd like to play and share with us! November’s theme is ‘Body Parts’. Shake a leg because this month we’re taking things apart, literally from head to toe. Get footloose and fancy free, cast a slow hand across your stack of wax, because we’re falling head over heels for tracks that give a nod or a wink to body parts. So go out on a limb, put your best foot forward and bring along tracks or bodies of work with all the right bits in all the right places - or heads will roll. Grab a drink, enjoy some records. And don't forget to RSVP!

National Portrait Gallery Treasure Hunt - can you find the treasure?
Sat, Nov 7, 1:30 PMCome along on Saturday 7th November for a treasure hunt around the National Portrait Gallery! The treasure hunts are a good way to get to know a museum, gallery or area whilst meeting new people. This treasure hunt is based on some of the most famous paintings in the gallery. **About the gallery** The National Portrait Gallery houses portraits of historically important and famous British people, selected on the basis of the significance of the sitter, not that of the artist. The collection includes photographs and caricatures as well as paintings, drawings and sculpture. When the gallery opened in 1856, it was the first portrait gallery in the world. It currently houses over 10,000 paintings. **How it works** Come along at 1:30pm and you will be randomly divided into teams of 3 people (or you can choose your own team beforehand). For fairness, any London Guides or Blue Badge Tour Guides won't be allowed to take part. Then each team will be given 15-20 written clues which you have to find the answers for. It's up to your team to work together to find the answers. You can answer them in any order and you will be provided with a map of the gallery to help you. It's not a race, so you can take your time getting to know the gallery. The answers to the clues will be found on the information cards of the paintings or in the painting itself. The treasure hunts are a good way to get to know the gallery whilst meeting and getting to know new people! **Prizes** The team to get the most correct answers and then return to base (a local pub or cafe) will win book vouchers for Waterstones bookshops of £10 per person. If more than one team gets the top score, there will be a tie break question back at the pub. A £5 gift voucher per person will be given to each member of the team coming in second place and prizes will be given to each member of the team with the best team name. **Cost** Its £7 per person to take part (payable by cash or credit card on the day), apart from Full Members where it is free! **Become a Full Member** To become a Full Member (£14 a year), either: \- Pay cash at an event \- Pay via Bank Transfer \(TSB Bank plc\, Sort code: 77\-66\-65\, Account no: 00030809\, Account name: Cultureseekers\) \- Pay via credit card on the day or in advance \([https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QHZ1Y3UB](https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QHZ1Y3UB)) \- go to PayPal \- [https://www.paypal.com/uk/](https://www.paypal.com/uk/), then click on 'Pay & Get Paid‘, then click on 'Send Money’, put in the email address: general@cultureseekers.org in the 'Send Money' box, then 'Next' and then enter the amount to pay.
