Here are our upcoming events
Sunday 7th June at 12:00 – Social: Joint meeting with Cornwall Humanists
Tim, our secretary, is speaking to Cornwall Humanists in June about how we run Plymouth Humanists and his work as a volunteer school speaker. This is a great opportunity to meet up with our neighbouring group, so all are welcome to join us for a trip down to Truro. We’ll be going by train, which one has yet to be decided and we’ll be meeting in Vertigo, 15 St Mary’s St, Truro, TR1 2AF. Let us know if you’d like to join us so we can update you with the details.
Tuesday 23rd June at 19:00 – Talk: What is a Religion and Worldviews approach to RE and what does this mean for the study of Humanism in schools?
Ed Pawson is the Adviser to Plymouth SACRE and a member of the Board of the Religious Education Council of England and Wales. He will be explaining how RE in schools has come on an important journey over recent years. The Religion and Worldviews (RW) approach, which is being widely taken up in schools across the country, is enabling RE to become a more inclusive and dynamic area of the school curriculum.
We will be in Room 115 in Rolle Building at the University at 19:00. ** Note the earlier start time ** We will arrange for the doors to be open or someone there to let you in between 18:30 and 19:00 (they are usually locked after 18:00). We will also have someone there to let in any late comers, but please don’t delay too long! If you are not sure where it is, it’s just south of the James Street Vaults – see the campus map here: https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/about-us/visit/our-campuses
This event is free and all are welcome, although a voluntary contribution (cash or card) to help cover our costs would be appreciated.
Saturday 27th June at 9:25 – Social: Polperro to Looe walk
Join us for a walk along this scenic part of the South West Coast Path in Cornwall. We will take the 10 bus from Plymouth to Polperro, leaving at 9:25 and arriving at 11:10. We will then follow the coast path back to Looe where we will stop for drink before returning by bus or train to Plymouth (there are trains at 16:49,17:48 and 18:59, as well as some bus options).
The route is around 5.5 miles – see the description here: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/cornwall/lantic-bay/polperro-to-looe-coast-walk
Let us know if you’re coming so we can keep you up to date with details and know to expect you at the bus stop.
Monday 27th July at 14:30 – Social: Cafe Social and Discussion Group.
Join us for a discussion on topics of interest to humanists. The subjects are yet to be decided. We’ll be in Cafe Momus on Manor Street, in the space at the back – if you’ve not been there before it’s the door to the right of the bar, pretty much directly opposite you as you go in. Let us know if you’re coming so we can give the Cafe an idea of numbers
