SUMMARY:Athenaeum Film Night - The Maggie
DESCRIPTION:Athenaeum Film Nights return with another classic film showing. \nWe begin about 6.30pm with a one course supper and go into the ‘cinema’ by about quarter to eight. All our films have a suitable intermission and we empty out no later than ten o’clock. \nA 1 Course Supper will be served before Tea\, coffee & mints with Sweeties available during the film. \nThis month’s film is…. THE MAGGIE \n  \nCalvin B. Marshall (Paul Douglas)\, a wealthy American\, plans to surprise his wife with a summer residence in the British Isles. Arrogantly certain that he can make a shrewd deal\, he charters a small\, rundown transport boat\, “The Maggie\,” to carry his furnishings to the new property. Pilot Capt. McTaggert (Alex Mackenzie) desperately needs the job to save his boat — but he and the crew of two men and a boy nevertheless plan to get the most out of Marshall on their most unorthodox journey.

SUMMARY:Turning Ideas Into Business - A Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Innovation has something we have been good at for a long time: Sir Isaac Newton invented the first working reflecting telescope in 1668\, The first navigable submarine was designed by William Bourne in 1620\, and Edward Jenner invented the first vaccine in 1798 – something that is topical today. \nCharles Babbage proposed the idea for a Difference Engine\, an automatic mechanical calculator designed to tabulate polynomial functions in 1822. The jet engine was patented by Sir Frank Whittle in 1930. The cash machine and personal identification number system was patented by James Goodfellow in 1966\, just to name a few particularly important landmark innovations that still impact our world today. \nIn today’s world if your business is\, a Start-Up\, a Stay-Up or Grown-Up creating the best possible version of your business idea does not happen by chance. It happens because you work through a thoughtful process\, turning your idea into a practical and investible business opportunity. \nIt is difficult and the numbers speak for themselves. \nUsing any benchmark\, the success rate for Innovation\, which is turning an innovative idea into a profitable business are not good. According to CB insights\, in the UK 42% of start-up businesses fail because there is no market need for their services or products. \nTo launch a start-up means to risk a high failure rate\, 20% of businesses fail in their first year and around 60% will go bankrupt within their first three years. \nThe challenge for most innovators and entrepreneurs is that they lack the in-depth knowledge and skills to shape well-rounded business ideas. Neither do they have access to a rigorous\, structured development process to formulate their business ideas which has a feedback and refinement system to perfect and confirm their ideas. \nAs an Innovator\, Entrepreneur or Investor managing risk\, improving productivity\, creating competitive advantage\, improving cashflow are all key elements for successful value generation and building a successful enterprise. \nNone of this is achievable without validated and verified business ideas. \nThe seminar will introduce you to the Design Works framework and Vuka Works and explore how they provide a structured approach building better business ideas. \nThe Design Works Framework is a collaborative\, human-centred approach to shaping enterprise strategy\, generating new ways to bring value to the market and designing the enterprise to support and accelerate sustained value creation. \nVuka Works is a scalable digital interactive platform that equips people with ideas to design and refine an investible\, sustainable business project or venture. Vuka Works was designed to increase the odds of success for innovators and entrepreneurs. The aim is to contribute to the pipeline of value-creating projects and ventures\, to improve the return on time\, money\, and energy for everyone in the value-creation process. \nBook your place on this free seminar now via the Members’ Area or through reception.

SUMMARY:'The Outsiders'\, James Corbett & Roger Phillips
DESCRIPTION:Members and guests are invited to attend a special live interview and supper with Proprietors James Corbett and Roger Phillips. \nBroadcaster Roger Phillips will be interviewing author James Corbett about his debut novel ‘The Outsiders’\, which has been longlisted for the 2022 Portico Prize. \nReserve your tickets now and receive a copy on the night! \nLiverpool 1981. As the city burns during inner city riots\, Paul meets two people who will change his life: Nadezhda\, an elusive poet who has fallen out of fashion; and her daughter Sarah\, with whom he shares an instant connection. As the summer reaches its climax his feelings for both are tested amidst secrets\, lies and the unravelling of Nadezhda’s past. It is an experience that will define the rest of his life. The Outsiders moves from early-80s Liverpool\, via Nadezhda’s clandestine background in war-torn Europe\, through to the present day\, taking in the global and local events that shape all three characters. In a powerful story of hidden histories\, lost loves and painful truths ambitiously told against the backdrop of Liverpool’s fall and rise\, James Corbett’s enthralling debut novel explores the complexities of human history and how individual perspectives of the past shape everyone’s present. \n  \nSupper will follow the event in the Dining Room. \n  \nYou can book your tickets now via the Members’ Area\, or alternatively by contacting the office on 0151 709 7770/reception@theathenaeum.org.uk.

DESCRIPTION:Tickets are available now for ‘Victorian Women In Bed’ live at The Athenaeum! \nFull details of how you can purchase your tickets can be found here – Victorian Women In Bed Tickets | The Athenaeum Liverpool | Sat 16th October 2021 Lineup (skiddle.com) \n‘Victorian Women in Bed’ is a theatre production\, written by Janet Goddard and produced by Barbara Hardy\, first staged in 2019\, comprising of five short plays featuring a newly crowned Queen Victoria and Florence Nightingale amongst others. The women are funny\, cross\, attractive and vibrant just as much as they are eccentric and odd. \n‘What is a bed for but to die in?’ asks angry\, dead Emily Bronte. \nWe snuggle down to participate in bed adventures with six bold women who decimate convention to be themselves. We question Emily’s analysis and love our bedbound women and the lives they reveal. \nThe Young Queen Victoria\, Elizabeth Barrett Browning\, Charlotte Bronte\, Sarah Bernhardt\, Florence Nightingale and Emma Hardy\, with the help of family and acquaintances\, show themselves to us through their bed tales. \n‘A woman has ten claws\, my darlings\,’ Sarah Bernhardt confirms\, proving that\, not then\, not now\, do women go to bed to give their brains a rest! Please come to discover what has drawn our women to their beds and share their secrets … \nStaring Tracey Ann Wood as a Young Queen Victoria! \n

DESCRIPTION:Wed. 17th June 2020 at 2.0 p.m.  Greta Garbo as ANNA KARENINA (USA  1935).  Dir. by Clarence Brown.  Many great actresses have played Anna Karenina\,  but perhaps Garbo is the greatest of them\, and if you have never seen a Garbo film\, this may be the best one to start with.  She is  matched by the icy coldness of Basil Rathbone as her pitiless husband\, so that tragedy is inevitable. \n(Running time:1 hr 35 mins)
