ambitious but inept clerk Frans Laarmans is offered a job managing an Edam distribution company in Antwerp, he jumps at the chance, despite his professed dislike for cheese in all its forms. He soon finds himself submerged in a bureaucratic nightmare as his complete incompetence becomes apparent. Meanwhile, his offices fill up with a seemingly infinite supply of the distinctive red-skinned cheeses, which he has no idea how to sell. Skewering the pomposity of big business while revealing how an entrepreneurial spirit can often be a mask for buffoonery, Willem Elsschot's Cheese combines comedy and pathos in its depiction of a man trying to progress beyond his limited skill set. As poignant as it is funny, Cheese will appeal to anyone who has suffered the endless indignities of office life.","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1766565085000","seoName":"cheese-willem-elsschot","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-reading/cate-other31/cheese-willem-elsschot-6484033088371312/","localIds":"173","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"4d73fa3c-5b46-418c-89c1-d2ab4fb9c5f0","sid":"f744a03d-a814-4fee-8be3-da2d489bc677"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1766565085028,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"other31","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6515","location":"Unit L26C, 104 Paradise Square, Oxford OX1 1PB, UK","infoId":"6484033090816212","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/8/e/0/highres_499015520.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Oxford SFF Book Club - Red Mars","content":"# Red Mars by Kim Robinson\n\nThe first novel in Kim Stanley Robinson’s massively successful and lavishly praised Mars trilogy. ‘The ultimate in future history’ Daily Mail\nMars – the barren, forbidding planet that epitomises mankind’s dreams of space conquest.\nFrom the first pioneers who looked back at Earth and saw a small blue star, to the first colonists – hand-picked scientists with the skills necessary to create life from cold desert – Red Mars is the story of a new genesis.\nIt is also the story of how Man must struggle against his own self-destructive mechanisms to achieve his dreams: before he even sets foot on the red planet, factions are forming, tensions are rising and violence is brewing… for civilization can be very uncivilized.","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1766565085000","seoName":"oxford-sff-book-club-red-mars","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-reading/cate-other31/oxford-sff-book-club-red-mars-6484033090816212/","localIds":"173","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"55567c38-b5dd-4d50-b417-ce3ad918670b","sid":"f744a03d-a814-4fee-8be3-da2d489bc677"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1766565085219,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"other31","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6515","location":"32 Norfolk St, Oxford OX1 1UD, UK","infoId":"6484033091878712","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/8/2/f/highres_501734383.jpeg","videos":null,"title":" Boardgame meet up - the Westgate Social","content":"In person Boardgame meetup.\nCome have some fun, meet people and try lots of different games.\nCome early and play filler games and socialise.

It's an amazing psychological game where you need to tell the truth, lie, pretend, and read body language. It's not required to have any experience, and it's really easy to play. Feel free to come later, but inform if possible. Often we provide some snacks as well. £5 for the hall rent please.\n\nThe Mafia deduction game (alternative called called Werewolf) is a social deception game where players are secretly assigned roles as either Mafia (the \"bad guys\") or Civillias(the \"good guys\"). The goal of the Mafia is to eliminate all Civilians without being caught, while the Villagers must identify and eliminate the Mafia through discussion and voting. Some players may have special roles, like Sheriff, who can investigate others.\n\nWhy Mafia is good to play:\n\n1. Improves Social Confidence – Players must speak up, defend themselves, and convince others, helping to overcome shyness and build assertiveness.\n\n2. Enhances Psychological Resilience – Handling suspicion, false accusations, or being outplayed teaches emotional control and the ability to stay calm under pressure.\n\n3. Boosts Analytical Thinking – The game sharpens critical thinking, as players must analyze behaviors, detect lies, and make logical arguments.\n\n4. Encourages Risk-Taking – Whether lying as Mafia or accusing someone as a Villager, players learn to take strategic risks without fear of judgment.\n\n5. Develops Public Speaking Skills – Speaking persuasively and confidently in a group setting makes it easier to express thoughts in real-life situations.\n\n6. Teaches Emotional Intelligence – Recognizing deception and reading people's emotions improves the ability to navigate social interactions outside the game.\n\nIf you're looking to strengthen your mental resilience, become more courageous in discussions, or simply train your mind to think quickly under pressure, Mafia is a great way to do it!","price":"£5","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1766565076000","seoName":"mafia-werewolf-the-traitors-an-amazing-psychological-deduction","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-reading/cate-other31/mafia-werewolf-the-traitors-an-amazing-psychological-deduction-6484032979033812/","localIds":"330","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"a9942dfb-d025-48de-880a-47c06ac4c457","sid":"f744a03d-a814-4fee-8be3-da2d489bc677"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1766565076487,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"other31","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6508","location":"1 Linden Ave, Ruislip HA4 8TW, UK","infoId":"6484032894553812","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/2/b/b/highres_531577563.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"UK Outdoor Bouldering Adventures – London Rock Climbers","content":"# **West London Outdoor Bouldering & Rock Climbing – With Professional Climber Fazal (Apefoo Training)**\n\nWelcome to the **West London Outdoor Bouldering & Rock Climbing Group!**\nWhether you're a complete beginner or an experienced climber ready to break into higher grades, this group gives you access to **professional-level coaching**, real outdoor experience, and a supportive climbing community.\n\n### 🧗‍♂️ **Led by a Professional Climber**\n\nI’m **Fazal**, founder of *Apefoo Training* on YouTube and Instagram — a sponsored climber with over **15 years in the UK climbing scene**.\nI’ve climbed all over the country, helped climbers develop from V0 to advanced levels, and I’m currently projecting climbs in the **8c range**.

So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required.\n\nAll across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for.\n\nSahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple time-honoured technique that lets you tap into that energy and harness its power to become better balanced and better connected to yourself — emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.\n\nIf you're having trouble juggling the challenges in your life, Sahaja Yoga Meditation might well help you manage stress, master your emotions and find solutions to your problems. You may enjoy better health, better focus, and a deeper understanding of the universe and your place in it.\n\nMeditation is not just for mystics and monks. Sahaja Yoga meditation is for everyone. Anyone can do it. It's that easy. But with the Sahaja Yoga experience, you'll quickly realise, it isn't your typical Meditations 'R Us type class. It's much more than just feeling peaceful and relaxed. Sahaja Yoga Meditation has many layers, varied and deep. Explore at your own pace, in your own way. Our volunteer experts are always available to help.\n\nReady to plug into your inner energy? A Sahaja Yoga Meditation class is a great way to start. A few minutes of your life may be all it takes to connect to your inner energy and light the path to lifelong transformation.

Join us for a social gathering where you can mingle, chat and make new friends.\n\nWhilst the prime focus of our event is to socialise, a few basic board games will be available as an alternative option to keep us occupied.\n\nIf you're feeling hungry, Rick's Diner provides a variety of American meals to fill your stomach.\n\n**Important Information:** ⚠️\n\n* No tables are reserved at the venue\n* Repeated no-shows or instances of gatecrashing may result in removal from future group events\n* If you require reasonable adjustments, please inform the event organiser in advance\n* Guests must be aged 18 or over\n\n**The plan:** 💪🏻\nWe will meet inside Rick's Diner at 2 PM. Where we are located will be shared once the host has arrived. Members will then have the choice to enjoy socialising, dining and/or gaming until the event comes to an end at 5 PM.\n\n**Q&A** 👀\nHere are the common questions asked relating to this event:\n\n**I'm new and feel anxious. Is this group not right for me?** 😨\nAttending for the first time is pushing you out of your comfort zone, so it is normal to feel anxious on your first occasion. We always have a mixture of new and old faces. Regulars are very welcoming and it takes only 2-4 events for most members to feel settled in. Our advice is to give it a shot and reflect afterwards if the event is right for you.\n\n**How will I find you?** 🧐\nOnce the organiser arrives, they will share in the comments roughly where they are located, with a description of what they are wearing.\n\n**Where will I be able to park?** 🚗\nWhilst it's not impossible to find parking in Oxford, the limited availability, as well as costs, can make parking incredibly challenging. Therefore, we encourage members to use the most convenient public transport available.\n\n**Can I bring additional people with me?** 👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏽\nYes you can, providing they are aged 18 or over. You are also responsible for any potential problematic behaviours from guests you bring with you. Please put them as +1 when you check-in so we can try and find us enough space.\n\n**What is Rick's Diner?** 🤨\nRick's Diner on Cowley Road is a family-run restaurant in Oxford, celebrated for its American-style comfort food with a menu that also includes vegetarian, vegan, and halal options. It is a popular spot known for its friendly, welcoming atmosphere and is well-regarded for both quick bites and relaxing meals with family and friends. [Click here for further information](https://www.ricksdiner.co.uk/)\n\n**Can I bring my own food?** 🥯\nWhilst members won't have a problem with this, it's unfortunately not always the same with the staff. Therefore, you're welcome to bring your own food, but will be doing so at your own risk.\n\n**Do I have to buy food?** 🍨\nWith the prime focus of the event being to socialise, this is completely optional.\n\n**What games will be available to play?** ♠️\nThe following games will be available to play:\nJenga 🧱\nUno 🃏\nDominos 🎲\nBananagram 🍌\n\n**Will we be doing anything after the event?** 🍻\nThis will be decided on the day. If anything does happen, it will likely be that we find a nearby pub.\n\n**Is this a dating event?** 👩‍❤️‍👨\nWhilst we recognise and accept that relationships do form in social settings, we ask members to be mindful that this is not an event specifically for dating. Therefore, if your only reason for attending is to find your soulmate, this event will not be the right event for you.\n\n**I think I've found you, but I'm too scared to approach! Can I have the organisers contact number?** 📳\nAs we are not a business, organisers will not be making their personal numbers public. However, we will post in the comments a rough description of where we are located, as well as a description of what the organiser is wearing. The rest is about you stepping out of your comfort zone and approaching!\n\n**Group Rules** 📝\nThese are the policies in place for the group:\n\n**1) Be respectful of others** 🙏🏼\nYou'll encounter diverse individuals, some of whom you may not connect with immediately. Instead of arguing, acknowledge your differences. Refrain from harassing members, whether in person or on social media, outside of events.\n\n**2) Appreciate what the organisers do** ❤️\nPlease remember we are not a business and that all the organisers in the group are hosting events on a voluntary basis. The events we host are for ourselves to enjoy as much as you do.\n\n**3) Have a valid photo of yourself in your profile** 🤳🏾\nThere have been multiple occasions where members have received inappropriate messages, all from members without photos. To help prevent this from happening, we ask all members to provide a photo of themselves.\n\n**4) Update your attending status correctly** ✅\nNot knowing the correct number of attendees can negatively impact the event. Excessive absences and/or gatecrashing events, without valid reasons, will lead to removal from the group.\n\n**5) Do not take control of events hosted** 🤐\nThe organisers already have a plan for the event they are hosting. To prevent any difficulties, respect what the organisers have set up for you. Members are welcome to organise additional activities once the event is over.\n\n**6) Do not advertise your own activities in the group without permission** 🙅🏻\nWhilst we are happy to see additional events, they must apply to the group's structure. If you want to advertise any of your events, contact Kevin.\n\n© 2025 Oxford Social Circle","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1766564998000","seoName":"meet-greet-social","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-reading/cate-activities-groups/meet-greet-social-6484031978841912/","localIds":"173","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"b63e7e37-9fd4-4f11-8cfd-84cd5106f489","sid":"f744a03d-a814-4fee-8be3-da2d489bc677"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1766564998346,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"activities-groups","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6515","location":"Palm Court, 4 Herrand Square, Richmond TW9 1EW, UK","infoId":"6484031966592212","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/d/d/a/highres_531487642.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Julian Barnes, Richmond Park (8 km) ","content":"Join us on Saturday 17 th November for an 8 km walk through the beautiful Richmond Park.
