Bainton Reading Room Homepage

Over the summer if you would like to host a wiki cafe in your garden do let me know.

As we did last year it takes place on the last Saturday of each month from 10:00 to 12:00

Proposed changes to the position of the fence to create a new 'patio' space outside the reading room.

Following on from our first TED evening, here is another chance to experience some of the best ideas in the world:

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader and you will be surprise at the diversity of interesting things that are covered. The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers who are challenged to give the talk of their lives in about 18 minutes each. To attend in person costs about £3000 a seat and the conferences for the next few years are already sold out! However by the magic of the Internet we can hold our own TED here in Bainton.

TED Conference @ Bainton Reading Room. Saturday 21st February 7:30pm
(note changed from Friday)

The format will be to select about four of the best speakers and show them on a big screen. The evening will be informal with time to chat as well as listen. A nominal charge of £2 per person will cover the cost of the room, electricity tea and coffee. BYO wine etc. is optional.

I hope to see you there … if you plan to come give me a call (740009) so I can gauge the numbers.
Everyone welcome.

2009 Wiki Cafe season is now over.

When Helen has counted up the proceeds I will let people know, however my guess us that it will be about £150... not bad for sitting around chatting. This will go to charrities people suggested - probably one local and one international. Thanks for attending many people said how much they enjoyed the conversation.

If you would like to participate in a Wiki in the Garden during the summer do let me know.
