With Christmas and New Year well and truly over, it seems like a good time to remind you that we are holding an in-person event in Cambridge on 28 February 2026, which is now open for booking.
The booking link is here.
Bookings are going well: we're covering direct costs now. However, we still have plenty available if you're interested in coming from 12.30 to 5.30, with three sessions: one on the current state of the economy, another on how bond markets work and why we need them, and a final session called "Ask me anything (within reason)".
There are three things to emphasise:
- The discounted rate for young people is £30. They are those aged 18 to 24.
- People under 18 can only attend with an adult for safeguarding reasons.
- There is a discount for those of retirement age or on benefits, but please only use it if it is appropriate.
I look forward to seeing you there.

This feels like very good timing as we slide into ever more difficult times.
It will be good to be amongst people of like mind.
I know many people who protest “against” but few who have solutions, and I also feel rather surrounded by people who cannot face looking at the reality of where we are, let alone do anything about it, even at a personal level…gaily using Amazon, buying ridiculous cars etc, etc – people who otherwise are caring, intelligent, concerned, kind. People who don’t want to engage because they find it too depressing….understandable that they wish to protect their mental health so I don’t wish to judge….
Many, of course, are so pressed just keeping everything together that they don’t have the bandwidth for anything else.
I’d be the first to admit that I’m a hopeless campaigner, especially alone….much better with co conspirators!
I’m sure that for many of the community on this blog it will be beneficial to spend time with people who do want to engage and who knows what might come of this!?
Looking forward to it!
Thanks.
See you there.
You may have the shortest distance to travel.
with regret and apologies, as a student of life (I’m in my 80s), and living in north Derbyshire, I will not attend – I will ask you in advance how do I counter old age?’ – my answer would be that your blogs keep my mind active.
Thanks and 🙂
