The Open Coffee Morning will be in aid of the Macmillan Charity. Last year, this was very well attended and supported so hopefully we can do even better this year.
10-30am - 12pm. Cakes, coffee and tea - all proceeds will go to the charity.
Join us for a relaxed evening of music at the Club.
Open Decks brings together local record collectors and music lovers from around Cambridge, each taking a turn to play a selection of records from their own collections. You can expect a wide mix of music, from old favourites to things you may never have heard before, all chosen by people who simply love what they play.
It's a chance to sit back with a drink from the bar, enjoy the music and chat with the people behind the records. Everyone is welcome, members and guests alike. Free entry.
CamJam is a welcoming and much-loved jazz jam session that has been running for over 20 years, bringing together musicians and jazz lovers from across Cambridge and beyond.
Every Tuesday evening, the doors open at 7.30pm and the music runs until 10.15pm. A friendly house band kicks things off, after which players and singers are invited to take turns sitting in. Whether you’re an experienced performer or just finding your feet, all abilities are welcome.
Not a player? No problem — come along to soak up the atmosphere, enjoy some great live jazz, and relax with a drink among fellow music lovers.
Contribution requested towards house band www.newnhamjazz.uk.

Joining our hosts, The String Section, are two standout acts: the Doghouse Collective and the much‑loved Camus – both back by popular demand.
The Doghouse Collective serve up a feast of reworked high‑energy traditional and contemporary tunes, with a Celtic‑fusion‑prog‑rock twist for good measure. You can find out more about them at doghousecollective.org
Camus, named after a village in County Galway, delight audiences with an exciting mix of traditions. Their influences span Northumberland, Ireland and Shetland, with touches of bluegrass and Galician music, plus their own tunes and songs. More info at camusmusic.net

Liz is a renowned local artist who has exhibited in London, Ipswich and Cambridge. Her career began as an engineer and this is reflected in some of her art. Latterly, she has delighted in the lighter side of life, her paintings full of action and humour. Street life and celebrations, musicians, churches, factories, underwater swimmers, Morris men and boat crews all have their place in her repertoire.
See https://www.lizmoon.co.uk/
She describes her work as "An exploration of people on action in a precariously balanced world. People leap or lean into a space that bends and sways around them; their energy and humour involve and invigorate. This is no thoughtless escape. A celebration of entertaining possibilities of life in the face of darker uncertainties to come."
There are several of her larger works for sale, also prints, and who could resist a postcard! Come and have a look - Liz's artwork is on display throughout October.
