Other details about the arrangements will be on the sign-up sheet.
Small Groups: Group members who have applied to join DHUK will participate in small groups. Group lists will be distributed closer to the time, but are broadly the same as before. If you are unable to make your allocated small group time, please contact Anne Marie on amkeary@gmail.com.
New Students
If this is your first weekend with DHUK, you’ll be contacted by Penny Kennington to arrange a meeting with a teacher before the weekend to give you some orientation and to answer any questions that you have. New students will not join the small groups, but will have a lunch meeting with Tejo and Lisa on Saturday. New students will also have priority for mini sessions on Sunday.

The venue is situated a ten minute walk and more or less equidistant from Old Street and Angel stops on the Northern Line Bank branch. Barbican and Farringdon stations are also quite close.
Food, drink, local cafes and food stores
There are some spaces within the building which we have informal access to for lunch. If the weather is fine the venue has some lovely outdoor spaces, including our own private area with benches outside the Garden Room.
There’s a water dispenser on the group floor, so bring your own bottle. There’s no kettle, fridge or kitchen area we can use.
There are two small cafes about 5 minutes’ walk away on Old Street. Further down Old St and on Whitecross Street, there is more choice (about 8 – 10 minutes/0.4 mile walk away). Nearby on City Road is a very small Tesco Extra and on Old Street near the tube station there’s a large M & S Foodstore, Co-op and Aldi (10 minutes’ walk).
