York House, Stony Stratford [location]
18.15 for 18.30

Agenda

1  Reflections on Recent News
Have you seen / read something recently that you think would be of interest to humanists?

2  Good Riddance…
What would you like to say 'good riddance' to from the year just gone, and perhaps from the Noughties as a whole? Bring it along for a public shredding!

[On Dec 29th hundreds of people flocked to Time Square in New York to destroy publicly mementos and papers representing unpleasant experiences bad memories from 2009. Items included everything from photos of ex-lovers to redundancy letters and newspaper articles chronicling the failings of beloved sports teams. For items that could not be shredded the Time Square Alliance (who organised the ‘Good Riddance Day’ event for the 3rd year running) provided a sledge hammer and a large waste-container. ]

3  Minutes
Agree minutes of the last Meeting (12th November 09)

4  The Greek Gods (contribution from Members)
The Greeks were polytheistic and worshipped (and made sacrifices to) hundreds of gods. The most famous of them included Zeus, Apollo, Artemis, Poseidon, Aphrodite, Hermes, Gaia and Hades. Members have been asked to research one particular god. At the meeting they will be championing their god in an imaginary battle / competition to be crowned the supreme god. No prizes, just a well-deserved round of applause! We will no doubt also reflect on what influence the Greek’s Gods and the various Myths that surround them have had on us today.
