Come if you are an amazing baker or have never cooked in your life! Bring favourite recipies, any unusual ingredients (we should have the basics, but you can bring a reciept for anything you buy and we'll pay you back) or just yourself and your enthusiasm.
We'll meet in the Cafe at 2.10 to collect ingredients etc and go together to the Friends' Meeting House, but if you come later you can find us there.

Strawberry Cafe is broadening it's night to include groups that compliment each in their wish to bring people together to address world issues at a community level - 'Think globally, act locally';
Zeitgeist Movement;
Imagine a world without war, poverty, misery or money. Imagine a world where all people work together in a spirit of cooperation and not competition. Imagine this safer saner world and you are closer to understanding what the Zeitgeist Movement is about.
Humanity's Team;
a global movement with the prime intention of awakening the world to Oneness.
The People's United Community;
in truth we find peace and in unity we can cause change.
Transition Cambridge;
responding to the challenges of "peak oil" and climate change. Changing now because we want to - not waiting until we have to.
Strawberry Fair;
in light of the recent cancellation of this years festival the cafe gives the community a chance to get involved with this free volunteer run community music, entertainments, arts and crafts fair and make sure that this important cultural event takes place next year.
(If you're part of a group that you feel also compliments the above groups then please let me know, ta)

C4 is open to anyone who enjoys drawing - from manga to children's comics to graphic novels to one-panel cartoons - and would like to just come and sit down with us to have coffee and draw and talk... There are people from loads of different backgrounds and with very different drawing styles. One person in the group is a freelance comic artist, but beginners are more than welcome! Generally every Saturday session is very flexible, people can drop in at any time and although we often have group projects and activities, there's no compulsion to take part in them. At the end of last year we also had a 24-hour comic event: 5 of us stayed up 24 hours to draw a whole 24-page comic. We'll certainly be doing that again this year.

This week, from 8pm, we're showing the unmissable 'Zeitgeist: Addendum' -
Peter Joseph's film attempts to locate the root causes of pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution.
This solution is not based on politics, morality, laws, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs, but rather on a modern, non-superstitious based understanding of what we are and how we align with nature, to which we are a part.
The work advocates a new social system which is updated to present day knowledge, highly influenced by the life long work of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project.

Come and see what everyone's talking about for FREE!..
..and there's tea and cake for a mere 50p each!!

Next Sunday we are going to have a huge music lesson ON JESUS GREEN or at the cafe if it rains/snows ;D. It's not going to be like school cos we're going to work out what we want to play and then try to play it all together.
No experience at all is necessary, there's going to be such a big (but loving) wall of sound that you can very easily just plink away quietly without being made to solo. And then we're going to carve little niches in that wall and make a song sound really nice, which is actually pretty easy. You can play whatever you want - please bring some instruments, and spares. If there's something specific you'd like to try to learn to play, contact me and we can try to find one. We have guitars, violins, a banjo, a balalaika, bongos, percussion and a chinese violin to be getting on with. There should also be some other string instruments and maybe some wind and brass.
We can make up any kind of tune people want to. If you've never played anything before because your parents didn't pay for music lessons or you got sucked into football at school or you feel safer with cubase or you're really shy, there will definitely be stuff we can play together anyway.
If you kind of know how to play stuff, you can help with helping people, this would be cool, please contact us. If you're a beginner, might be an idea to let us know if you might come anyway, so I have an idea about numbers and instruments. Acoustic instruments are better than electric ones.
Resist the alienation of the corporate music industry! Produce!
What better place than here, what better time than Sunday.
Peace and love and music!

This week 'Future by Design' which shares the life and far-reaching vision of Jacque Fresco, considered by many to be a modern day Da Vinci. Peer to Einstein and Buckminster Fuller.
Jacque is a self-taught futurist who describes himself most often as a "generalist" or multi-disciplinarian - a student of many inter-related fields.
He is a prolific inventor, having spent his entire life (he is now 94 years old) conceiving of and devising inventions on various scales which entail the use of innovative technology.
As a futurist, Jacque is not only a conceptualist and a theoretician, but he is also an engineer and a designer and creator of The Venus Project which, through Peter Joseph's movies, has become the Zeitgeist Movement http://www.thezeitgeistmovementuk.com/
Free entry (donations always appreciated though ;DX)
..and don't forget the tea and cake for only 50p each!
