Upcoming Events

Our next WXR book group meeting will discuss The Machine Stops by E M Forster (first published 1909). We've read some long humdingers recently so this one is a change - an 117 year old short story which can be read in an hour. Also available as a download pdf. 

A BBC Arts editor says this: 'The Machine Stops is not simply prescient; it is jaw-droppingly, gob-smackingly, breath-takingly accurate ..'  Please join us to chat about E M Forster's vision of the future - everyone is welcome! 

Introduced by Chris Packham, this 45-minute film brings together key clips from the 3-hour-long National Emergency Briefing shown to MPs and others. The screening will be followed by discussion of the film and what we can all do. Hosted by XR Wandsworth, Christian Climate Action, Greener Jobs Alliance, Greenpeace South West London, Balham Climate Action and Transition Town Tooting. Free event - all welcome!
