A Historic Talk About Women of Note

Laurence Scales will join us. He describes the tals as…

Until recently, women have been sadly rare in the historical record of progress in science, technology and medicine which, as a specialist London guide, are my areas of expertise. But in my research I have been delighted to chance upon lesser known but interesting and pioneering women of strong character, who ventured into traditionally masculine domains. This talk is about some of them, living in or near London, between roughly 1750 and 1950, and involved in such fields as public health, astronomy, chemistry, engineering and science fiction.

About Reiki Master – Becky Read

Hi there, I’m Becky and I am an Usui Reiki Master in Lingfield, Surrey.

I offer in-person 1-to-1 Reiki Treatment Sessions at Claridge House, Lingfield or My Happiness Hub in Godstone Green or can travel to your home (10 mile radius of RH7) or can channel Distance Reiki for you.

I came to Reiki from a place of curiosity and found that it really resonated with me and I wanted to explore it further.

My first introduction to Reiki came before I had any plans of training: I was mourning the death of my dearly beloved step-father and while supporting my widowed mother, I naturally felt drawn to placing my hands on her chest asking for help to comfort her – when suddenly we could both feel heat pulsating through my hands. “What is that?” my mother asked – and my answer at that point was “I don’t know….but it’s not coming from me – it’s coming from something greater than me; through me”.

This was the beginning of my exploration with the Universal Energy of Reiki and how it can nurture and support us for our highest good – whether that be for Physical, Mental, Emotional or Spiritual healing and guidance

I feel committed to channeling this great resource that empowers and supports us – for anyone who feels it may benefit them.

I am a member of The Reiki Association and adhere to The Reiki Association’s Code of Ethics. I’m also working as a Volunteer Reiki Therapist weekly at The Macmillan Centre, Queen Vic Hospital, East Grinstead.

Meeting. Shuffleboard
2025-06-10 20:00 - 21:45 | The Parish Room, The Platt, Dormansland, Lingfield, Surrey, RH7 6QZ
How good will you be? 🙂

Shuffleboard (Shovillaborde) existed in England over 500 years ago. It is an exciting variant of Shov-Ha’Penny. Henry VIII was very fond of the game. The Royal Expenses for 1532 show a payment from the Privy Purse of nine pounds:

”Paided to my lord Wylliam for that he wanne of the Kinges grace at shovillaborde”

The game was made illegal as early as 1542. Played in taverns it was feared that it might keep the proletariat from work!

Attempts to ban the game were never completely effective. It was simply too popular. Even after Cromwell came to power, when it was listed with other diversions as immoral, the game continued to thrive.

During the early part of the twentieth century ‘Sjoelbak’ a Dutch variation of the game emerged. A standard specification for the board and discs was introduced in 1966 in response to the growth of club and tournament play.

Today shuffleboard (sjoelbak) is played across the UK.
