A map and travel or ring 07843 555355 details for the venue are on the next page. We are in Room 1 on the ground floor. Coffee will be served there from 9.00 and we’ll start at 9.32. Why 9.32? 9.30 can mean 9.30. Or it can mean “half-past nine”. Which is much vaguer, much more “-ish.” There’s nothing “-ish” about 9.32. It sends a signal that we can expect each other to start on time. The course will finish at 4.17. After I’ve packed up, I will head for a coffee before driving home, so you’re welcome to hang around and continue the conversation if you don’t have to rush back (and aren’t already exhausted). The Venue Except for a space for blue badge holders, there’s no parking at the venue but public transport links are excellent. It’s easiest to find the centre from the Highbury Station Road entrance. If coming from Highbury and Islington Station, make sure you turn immediate right down Highbury Station Road, which then bends round to the left.
