Hey Chch Skeptics et al,

I've been talking about it a lot, but I'm finally going to start an atheist video evening, as part of the informal Canterbury Atheists.

The first is on Thursday 20th August 2009 at 7:30pm - I hope that time suits the majority of you.
Please RSVP by responding via meetup.com, or emailing ][masked] if you will be attending, so I can provide adequate seating. Gold coin donation would be appreciated to fund the cost of the website and set-up of Canterbury Atheists.

The venue is Tandem Voice Booth (my work) at 78 Oxford Terrace (Click here for a google map)

Thanks to the NZARH (New Zealand Association of Rationalists and Humanists) for funding a video projector for the night.

Screening the first night will be Bill Maher's Religulous, followed by (if time) some interviews from 'the Atheism Tapes.'

Feel free to bring beer or other refreshments.

See you on the night!

    Policy is - The more the merrier! Bring your own pub - there's a night and day shop 2 mins walk away with fairly good prices on beer. Cheaper than the 'hop!

    Toby, What's the policy on food/drink at this location? This has been posted via Skeptics in the _Pub_ after all. ;)

    • “ Good film, good discussion and good company. Very enjoyable evening. ”
    • “ I enjoyed it! ”
    • “ It was fantastic to meet everyone, the film and the short video that we watched (Religulous and a interview with Daniel Dennett) were both brilliant. It was great to see what a good sense of humour everyone had during the film (it's the first time I've watched it alongside other people who were actually laughing at all the jokes). The conversation was really good too, the room was excellent for the film but not so good for discussion, hence the four stars. But then, can i really expect perfect movies AND perfect cafe-setting conversation? Sounds like a good motivation to going along to the Skeptics in the Pub events too! ”
