Venue: Peter G’s

A smaller group this time (Peter G, Peter M, Pil, Simon and Hugh) but some great stories and interesting discussion on a huge range of topics from environmental responsibility to Aztec sacrifice! Homework, carried over from last week’s aborted meeting, was to write a short story, maximum 2000 words, inspired by the following photo.
