Next week: Doodle Club

When: 6:30pm on Wednesday 16th August
Where: The Mess (kitchen)
Hosted by: Jo Harrison

Join Jo for her monthly night of guided sketchbook doodling and arty fun.

Worried you can’t draw? You don’t need to! This isn’t about making high art, it’s about having fun. Jo has guided loads of people through relaxing and releasing their creative side, and she can help you too, all while you have a laugh with the others doodling.

Possibly the most relaxing and surreal event in Skiff history.

Coming soon…

Show and Tell

When: 12:30pm — 1:30pm on Wednesday 23rd August
Where: The Mess (kitchen)
Hosted by: Caroline Beavon and Tom Parslow

Short talks by Skiff members showing the client work and personal projects they’ve done. Each talk is only a few minutes long, and a great way to show people what you do and get to know others.

You can read about previous talks in July, June, May, and April.

Board Games Night

When: 7pm on Friday 25th August
Where: The Engine Room (main room)
Hosted by: Chris Hollands

From 7pm onwards, come and join us for games big and small, as we try to make this the biggest board game evening of the year so far.

If you’re in this group you’re welcome to join and bring along a pal or too. We have many games and are always up for learning more, so feel free to bring along your latest overpriced purchase and a bottle of booze or two.
