Now we've got this community space with its own CIG channel, and as the meetings are (thankfully!) no longer hybrid tech dramas on Meet, if you can't make it along to a CIG but have a pressing question for one of the speakers or on one of the topics, you can post them here. This month is a HW&FI nightlife special, plus more. Here's the line-up:

- Nostalgia Nights CIC (U-Shirt) - Will Oakley

• - All My Friends update - Stuart Glen & Eugene Wild

• - Algha’s Plantroom - Thea Arde

• - Night Time Economy - Sam Mathys (LB Hackney)

• - Complementary currency project - Les Moore

• - Paul Dowling - Being Human Living Sandbox

• - Fish Island Village public realm - Agatha Yerbury (Fish Island Books)
