Come and join us for a few drinks and a general discussion about the events of 2025 – there are plenty to choose from! – what did you find surprising, what made you angry, what made you laugh, what gave you cause for optimism?

We will also use this meeting to invite suggestions for topics to cover in the year ahead, so if there is a political or cultural issue you’d like us to discuss, please come along and let us know.

Come and join the discussion

You are warmly invited to join us at The Telegraph, Orchard Street, Newcastle Upon Tyne NE1 3NY (behind the Central Station), for our next meeting on Tuesday 6th January, 2026 at 7pm.
