Diary Tuesday 18th September 2018
Another day of voluntary work handing out leaflets to Freshers students to promote the mental health awareness 1 In 4 Movie festival. There were fewer new students around today so I got to finish earlier. I was then treated to an expenses paid lunch.
With the community centre Annual General Meeting pending I popped in to find out what time it started tomorrow and came home.
Diary Wednesday 19th September 2018
My third day of giving out film festival flyers, and busy again, and afterwards I went to the AGM meeting learning that the centres grants and lottery funding has been drastically reduced plunging the 26 year old centre into a crisis it might not recover from. I do hope they endure.
In the evening I went to the atheist meeting which I found very badly chaired, with members interrupting one another's questions and points and that it was hard to even get points across over the babel. Some commentators went way off topic with the chair making zero effort to draw things to order or make sure everyone could speak freely. I seriously wonder if I'll bother going again.

@LadyDuck some members get very rude as they obviously know others are trying to contribute to the discussion too but still hog the attention to themselves

@arthurchappell I easily imagine it was. When everybody tries to speak and there is not a clear order to follow is disappointing.

@Kandae11 Their chair is an elected officer, and he may be stepping down soon. I hope so
