This treasure hunt is based around the Science Museum.\n\n**About the museum**\nThe museum was founded in 1857 under Bennet Woodcroft from the collection of the Royal Society of Arts and surplus items from the Great Exhibition of 1851.\n\nThe Science Museum now holds a collection of over 300,000 items, including such famous items as Stephenson's Rocket, Puffing Billy (the oldest surviving steam locomotive), the first jet engine, a reconstruction of Francis Crick and James Watson's model of DNA, some of the earliest remaining steam engines, and working example of Charles Babbage's Difference engine.\n\n**How it works**\nCome 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.\n\nThen 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 museum to help you. It's not a race, so you can take your time getting to know the museum.\n\nThe answers to the clues will be found on the information cards of the objects or on the object itself.\n\nThe treasure hunts are a good way to get to know the museum whilst meeting and getting to know new people!\n\n**Prizes**\nThe 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.\nIf more than one team gets the top score, there will be a tie break question back at the pub.\n\nA £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.\n\n**Cost**\nIts £7 per person to take part (payable by cash on the day), apart from Full Members where it is free!\n\n**Become a Full Member**\nTo become a Full Member (£14 a year), either:\n\n\\- Pay cash at an event\n\\- Pay via Bank Transfer \\(email me – [general@cultureseekers.org](mailto:general@cultureseekers.org) for details)\n\\- Pay via credit card on the day or in advance \\([https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QLAX8AUI](https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QLAX8AUI))\n\\- Pay via PayPal\\, send a payment to [general@cultureseekers.org](mailto:general@cultureseekers.org), using the ‘Friends & Family’ option\n\nWe will be marking the scores back at the pub/cafe at 4:30pm, so it should all be over by 5:00pm.\n\nLook out for the red & blue 'London Cultureseekers' group sign/flag.

Always use the top of the description to see if there is an available slot for your instrument - please do not try to work this out yourself by looking at the other attendees' instruments.\n\n**Tunes this week (Sat 3 Jan)**\n\n* All of me in C (warm up)\n\n(Sonny Stitt) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psUdIsccV9M\n\n* Billie's bounce in F\n\n(Charlie Parker) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4mRaEzwTYo\n\n* Black Orpheus in Am\n\n(Wayne Shorter) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4aJWz0ysDk\n\n* Old Devil Moon in F\n\n(Vincent Herring) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUlHaAdgJy8\n\nEveryone is encouraged to listen to a variety of recordings for each song, but please ensure you are familiar with the recording provided as a primary reference.\n\n**Tune preview - next novice session (Sat 10 Jan)**\n\n* Freddie freeloader in Bb (warm up)\n\n(Miles Davis) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZcuSBouhVA\n\n* Song for my father in Fm\n\n(Horace Silver) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWeXOm49kE0\n\n* Alone Together in Dm\n\n(Art Farmer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTlzSA4ADMw\n\n* Bemsha Swing in C\n\n(Thelonious Monk) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBzh-8SKB2U\n\n**Preparing for the session**\n\nThe chordal form of each song follow the iReal Pro app as a common reference, or you can use sheet music from Real Books.\n\nResource for sheet music:\n\nhttps://www.seventhstring.com/fbindex.html\n\nhttp://therealbook.info/\n\nTry to immerse yourself in the songs by listening to recordings by different artists on youtube, spotify etc.\n\nLearn the head (main melody) of the song if you can.

Drummers: please bring cymbals (none available for rental) and hi hat clutch\n\n**Vocalists**\n\nSingers are welcome, however please note that the songs have fixed keys, and some of the repertoire are likely not in the right key for your range. If you are an experienced singer, it may be possible to arrange sessions with repertoire catered to you - to explore this, please first come to the \"Afternoon Open Jams\" so I can get a sense of your singing.\n\n**Observing**\n\nWould you like to attend a session without playing/singing, to get an idea of the format or to get a sense of what to practise first at home? You can sign up as usual to any novice session, and send me a message that you'd like only to watch the session. When you feel fready, the fee paid can be carried over toward any future session where you join to play or sing at the rehearsal.\n\n**Cancellation policy**\n\nPlease try to make it to any session you sign up to, as the jams are organised around a particular mix of instruments. However, if things do come up and you can no longer make a session, please send a message to the organiser, Xie, as soon as possible.\n\nPlaces are non-refundable if your plans change, but if you provide over 1 week notice it may be possible to carry over the fee for a future session.\n\n\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\n\nany questions do get in touch!","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1766564981000","seoName":"novice-11-1pm-jan-3-vortex-upstairs","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-dunstable/cate-artists-musicians/novice-11-1pm-jan-3-vortex-upstairs-6484031768077012/","localIds":"19","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"4f732e33-a53e-443c-8bf9-3484eb1d96ca","sid":"95856f73-9699-4e1e-bec9-c6a8ca349a2f"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1766564981880,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"artists-musicians","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6505","location":"39a Church Walk, Newington Green, London N16 9PR, UK","infoId":"6484031583667412","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/d/3/9/highres_513619769.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Life Drawing Session","content":"This Life drawing group will run throughout 2023.\nWe will draw the life model.

If you write more surrounded by others, I hope you'll join these brand new sessions.**\n\n**\\*NEW FOR 2026\\***\nStarting up this monthly Saturday session where we writers will gather to write in the same space. There will be plenty of time for you to push forward your own individual projects, but I can provide a writing prompt, short exercise or challenge to anyone who needs them.\n\nYou can book a spot for a guest with your ticket if you want to bring a writing friend with you. They don't have to be a member of our group.\n\nTiming:\n12:30 arrival and set up (I'll stop your table to say hi)\n12:45 intros and intentions\n13:00 individual writing time\n13:45 break\n14:00 individual writing time\n14:30 ends (but you don't have to stop then if you're mid-flow)\n\nI'm hosting this in the main upstairs area of the pub so you can come and go as you please. You can come to write for a short time or the whole thing. I will be going to each writer individually at their table to chat about their project and if they want a prompt, challenge or exercise from me to write in the session.\n\nI've allowed two hours for the session but you can easily stay on longer if you wish. Timing is 12:30pm to 2:30pm and some of us may stay on for a drink/tea afterward. I will be there for 12pm when the pub opens to grab us the horseshoe of tables (pictured above) so most of us can be sitting in the same vicinity together. That said, it's a spacious pub so if you want to spread out and choose your own spot, feel free.\n\nManners suggest that you'll buy a drink and perhaps a snack or two from the pub as a part of using their table. Please don't bring your own drinks from elsewhere (water bottles included) as the pub will never let us back in. See their menu on the website for more info.\n\nLocation: The Square Pig, 30-32 Procter St, London WC1V 6NX. Closest tube is Holborn.\n\nTiming: Doors open 12pm for a 12:30pm start and finish the main session by 2:30pm.\n\nCost: £10 for hosting, venue arrangement, writing task prep etc. Please follow the steps to pay via PayPal when you RSVP. Refunds or credits will only be offered if the meetup is cancelled by admin. If you change your mind after booking, please change to RSVP to 'not going' as we often have people waiting.\n\nDownload the Meetup app (check the app store) to manage your RSVPs on the go and be notified about new workshops.\n\nQuestions or concerns?
