Bringing the Sock Mob Back to Life
Tue, Jun 9, 5:30 PM**Bringing the Soc Mob Back to Life** Sock Mob has been inactive for quite a while. Some time ago I took over this Meetup after receiving notice that it might otherwise disappear entirely. I never intended to run Sock Mob myself. My involvement has really just been to keep the Meetup technically in existence long enough for people connected to Sock Mob to decide whether it still has a future. This meeting is an attempt to bring together anyone interested in that question. Not a relaunch. Not a volunteering pitch. Just an open conversation about whether there is enough interest, energy and practical commitment for Sock Mob to continue in some form — and whether a group of people wants to explore taking it forward together. Tuesday 9th June **6pm for 6.30pm** Holiday Inn Bloomsbury (Lounge/bar area) Coram Street, London WC1N 1HT A Zoom option is available if you are unalble to attend in person and a Zoom link will be provided nearer the time.

London Society WALK - Finsbury Park
Tue, Jun 9, 6:00 PMHave you ever wanted to be immersed within either the city or nature in the form of a walk and socialise at the same time? If so, this may be the right walk for you. Welcome to another one of the WALK events where you have the opportunity to explore all the scenic routes I’ll execute whether there’s nature within, whether we get immersed within the city and feel great about yourself. With this particular walk, we will be walking through Finsbury Park. Finsbury Park is another beautiful park that offers some beautiful sceneries of nature, the lake, some historical monuments and much more. After this walk, if all goes well, we can do an aftermath and let democracy decide.
