**EVENT CANCELLED - unfortunately, due to an excess of romance in the air, this months supper club has had to be postponed. If you're interested in joining us please get in touch via [email protected] and we will be in touch when the event is rescheduled. Thank you.**
What has nearly happened to you? Who didn’t you meet, marry or move away with? What was your nearly career, your nearly life? Which projects have you nearly started? These stories, that might be tinged with regret or with blessed relief, say something about who we really are.
On a day usually reserved for celebrating the romantic love that is or might be, join us for an alternate evening of conversation about all the things that nearly were and perhaps should never have been.
Our host, Chris Ifso, Fellow of the RSA and Doctor of Nearlyology, will be in Rawthmells all afternoon collecting nearlies; short accounts of things we’ve nearly done in our lives. In the evening, over an intimate sharing style supper he’ll explain the Nearly Manifesto and tell some of the nearly stories he has collected. You’ll be encouraged you to talk about your nearlies with those sitting around you and if you’re feeling bold, share them with the whole group.
Make sure this isn’t one of the nearlies in your life! Tickets are £16 to cover the cost of dinner and a drink.
