SUMMARY:History Group - Cockfighting in Liverpool: Rise\, Fall & Lingering Death
DESCRIPTION:This talk will examine the history of cockfighting\, once one of England’s most popular pastimes\, from the medieval period through to its abolition in 1849. It was first recorded in Liverpool in the 16th century\, and the talk will focus on the locations of the town’s cockpits\, and on the close connection of the ‘sport’ with schools\, the local aristocracy and horse racing at Maghull and Aintree. It became the focus of early campaigns for the prevention of cruelty to animals\, led in Liverpool by Egerton Smith\, the editor of the “Liverpool Mercury’\, who wrote one of the first novels on the subject. Despite abolition\, it continued clandestinely for many years\, and the talk will conclude with a discussion of how and why that became the case. \nIf you woud like to stay for supper following the talk\, please book with Reception. \nLooking forward to seeing you all again. \n  \nAttendance of the talk is free for Members are guests. \nSupper is available to pre-book following the event for just £16.50.

SUMMARY:The Exchange: Free Your Mind - With Laura Dodsworth & Patrick Fagan
DESCRIPTION:An eye-opening look at the world of manipulation\, and what we can do to recognise and resist the daily attempts to control and influence our minds. “Manipulation is not new. But today’s combination of technology\, social media and AI\, combined with marketing and behavioural science\, is new in its sophistication and scale. Everyone wants to know their own mind. To do that\, you have to be able to understand and resist attempts to influence your mind.” – Laura Dodsworth and Patrick Fagan \nYou’re manipulated all day every day. We all are. Our social media feeds\, our governments\, our friends and family\, even the humble waiter who asks\, “Still or sparkling?” – they’re all conspiring to influence what we think\, feel and do. It’s turbocharged in the era of big data and AI\, and if you think you’re not being influenced\, you’re probably the most influenceable of all. \nFortunately\, bestselling author of A State of Fear Laura Dodsworth and former Cambridge Analytica behavioural scientist Patrick Fagan have joined forces to show you what’s up the magician’s sleeve. \nFree Your Mind is your field guide to navigating this information battlefield. Join Dodsworth and Fagan in a live discussion on powerful psychological principles like ‘nudging’\, cutting-edge science and anonymous insider access. They draw on interviews with mind-control experts ranging from monks to magicians\, to uncover their most deceptive techniques and expose the hidden tactics used to influence you\, from social media to subliminal messages. They also did the fieldwork so you don’t have to\, joining forums\, courses\, cults and digital detoxes. \nLaura Dodsworth\nLaura is an author\, journalist\, photographer and commentator. She is the author of the Sunday Times bestseller A State of Fear\, as well as a trilogy of books about the body. \nPatrick Fagan\nPatrick is a behavioural scientist with 12 years’ experience of mind manipulation. Previously lead psychologist at Cambridge Analytica\, he is now a part-time lecturer at Goldsmiths College\, University of London and University of the Arts\, and a guest lecturer at University College London\, as well as running several data consultancies. He is the author of Hooked: Why cute sells and other marketing magic we can’t resist. \n  \nTickets to the talk are available for £10.00\, a dinner is also available post talk for an additional £25.00 for three courses. \n  \nArrivals from 6:30pm \nEvent Commences: 6:45pm \nDinner: 8:40pm

SUMMARY:Liverpool Book Club: An Evening with Ramsey Campbell
DESCRIPTION:The Exchange in association with Liverpool Book Club & Liverpool John Moores University present an evening with author Ramsey Campbell. \nTickets to the talk are available for £7.00\, a dinner is also available post talk for an additional £25.00 for three courses. \nBook your places now via the Members’ Area or through the Concierge. \nHosted by The Liverpool Book Club. \n  \nArrivals from 6:30pm \nEvent Commences: 7:00pm \nAudience Q&A : 7:30pm \nBook Sales & Signing: 8:00pm \nDinner: 8:30pm \n  \nBorn in Liverpool\, Ramsey has lived all of his life on Merseyside and as a writer\, editor and critic\, he has been a creative force for over 50 years. He is described as ‘Britain’s most respected living horror writer’ in The Oxford Companion to English Literature and best-selling author Stephen King has said he is: “literate in a field that has attracted many comic book intellects\, cool in a field that tends toward panting melodrama…fluid in a field where many of the best practitioners fall prey to cant.” \nA precocious intellect\, Ramsey was reading at two and dabbling in writing by the age of seven. It was an apparently innocuous children’s tale which first peaked his interest in horror fiction. In a Guardian interview\, Ramsey explained how a Rupert Bear story called Rupert’s Christmas Tree had an unexpected effect on him. He said: “Rupert acquires a magical tree that decamps after the festivities and returns to its home in the woods…the details – the small high voice from the tree\, the creaking that Rupert hears in the night\, the trail of earth he follows from the tub in his house\, above all the prancing silhouette that inclines towards him\, the star it has in place of a head – are surely the stuff of adult supernatural fiction. I think I got my start in the field right there.” \nTwo key people are credited with nurturing Ramsey’s early fascination with writing – his mother and his English tutor at St Edward’s College\, West Derby. His teacher\, Brother Kelly\, regularly asked him to read his stories to the class and Ramsey’s mother Nora\, who herself had short stories published in writer’s magazines\, encouraged him early on to send his work to publishers. \nAged only 11 Ramsey submitted his first collection Ghostly Tales to a range of publishers and although it was rejected\, a letter which stated: “We don’t publish ghost stories\, but this is a promising start\,” encouraged him to keep writing\, and Ramsey continued to avidly consume the work of Lovecraft\, Bierce\, Kafka and the cinema of film noir. \nOn leaving school at 16\, Ramsey worked in the Inland Revenue but continued to write in his free time\, selling several of his early stories to editor August Derleth\, who went on to become a friend and mentor. At the suggestion of Derleth\, Ramsey rewrote many of his earliest stories\, moving their settings from Massachusetts to the fictional Brichester\, imagined to be near the River Severn in Gloucestershire. This change of locales led to Campbell’s first professional published work\, the story\, The Church in High Street in 1962 and the book\, The Inhabitant of the Lake and Less Welcome Tenants in 1964. \nRamsey left the tax office to work in Liverpool public libraries\, becoming a full time writer in 1973 after the publication of Demons by Daylight. His second hardcover collection of horror stories\, The Height of the Scream\, was published in 1976 as well as his first novel\, The Doll Who Ate His Mother\, which he now recalls had mixed reviews but has rarely been out of print since. Just three years later this was followed by The Face that Must Die\, which is still considered by many critics to be one of Campbell’s finest works. \nFrom that point onwards Ramsey published numerous novels and short story collections\, with hardly a year between publications. The majority of his work has been nominated for and has won major awards\, leading to him becoming one of the world’s most decorated horror writers. He has won four World Fantasy Awards\, ten British Fantasy Awards\, three Bram Stoker Awards\, and the Horror Writers’ Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award. \nHis passion for writing shows no sign of abating\, with Ramsey continuing to write in a contemporary style with modern day references. He frequently sets his tales on Merseyside and has drawn on local history and traditions – a book of short stories and ten novels to date.\nRamsey comments that\, contrary to what might be expected\, the older he gets the more appealing he finds terror\, saying: “Being made to feel by art is surely no bad thing – to be scared any more than to be made to weep or indeed to be amused out of one’s wits. It’s a way of engaging the imagination\, and a good deal is right with that.”

SUMMARY:Theatre Group Visit: Frantic Assembly
DESCRIPTION:The Theatre Group’s next outing is a visit to the Playhouse on Saturday 21st October to watch the Frantic Assembly: Metamorphosis \nTickets are available from £26\, to be collected from the Concierge in advance \nWhy not visit the club before or after the showing for a bite to eat? \nBook you place now by 30th September through the Members’ Area or via the Concierge. \nKafka’s\nMetamorphosis\nAdapted by Lemn Sissay OBE. Directed by Scott Graham. \nOne morning Gregor Samsa awakes to find himself changed. To those around him he is dangerous\, untouchable vermin. Worse than that\, he is a burden. \nA word said\, an action out of place\, the opening of old wounds\, none of which can be undone. Until now Gregor has woken every morning\, quietly left to take the same train\, and worked to pay off the family debt. But that world explodes on this morning of brutal metamorphosis. \nIn their first commission since 2019\, Frantic Assembly and Lemn Sissay OBE collaborate on this thrilling new adaptation of Metamorphosis.  Combining the fluidity and lyricism of Lemn Sissay’s adaptation and Frantic’s uncompromising physicality\, this promises to be an unmissable retelling of Franz Kafka’s shocking tale of cruelty and kindness; a visceral and vital depiction of humans struggling within a system that crushes them under its heel.

SUMMARY:Exchange: The New British Politics
DESCRIPTION:VALUES\, VOICE AND VIRTUE: THE NEW BRITISH POLITICS WITH MATTHEW GOODWIN\nWednesday 13th September 2023\, 7pm to 8.30pm\nThe Athenaeum\, Church Alley\, Liverpool L1 3DD \nJoin us for a discussion with Professor Matthew Goodwin about his bestselling book on the new British politics changing our country. \nWhat has caused the recent seismic changes in British politics\, including Brexit and a series of populist revolts against the elite? Why did so many people want to overturn the status quo? Where have the Left gone wrong? And what deeper trends are driving these changes? \nBritish politics is coming apart. A country once known for its stability has recently experienced a series of shocking upheavals. Matthew Goodwin\, acclaimed political scientist and co-author of National Populism\, explains that the reason is not economic hardship\, personalities or dark money. It is a far wider political realignment that will be with us for years to come. An increasingly liberalised\, globalised ruling class has lost touch with millions\, who found their values ignored\, their voices unheard and their virtue denied. Now\, this new alliance of voters is set to determine Britain’s fate. \nAudience members are welcome to book dinner in the Athenaeum dining room after the event\, or to have a drink in the News Room. Further details are given with your ticket purchase. \nMatthew Goodwin\nMatthew J. Goodwin is Professor of Politics at the University of Kent. The author of four books\, including the Sunday Times bestseller National Populism\, he appears regularly in print and broadcast media including the Sunday Times and the BBC. He has advised more than 200 organisations on political issues. Values\, Voice and Virtue is a Sunday Times bestseller and a Financial Times 2023 ‘book to watch’. Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing by Matthew Goodwin during the event.

SUMMARY:The Exchange: What is the Future of Money?
DESCRIPTION:The Exchange: What is the future of money? \nJoin us for a discussion with Susie Voilet Ward\, Head of Mining and Sustainability at Bitcoin Policy UK\, on how digital money will affect all of our lives. \nThe use of cryptocurrenices such as Bitcoin is on the rise. Governments around the world are planning or piloting Central Bank Digitial Currencies (CBDCs). Yet most of us remain unaware of exactly what digital money is and the huge impact it will have on us. \nDuring the evening we will explore how digital money works\, the potential benefits and pitfalls\, and the profound effect it is set to have on how we earn and spend money. \nFinancial Analyst Susie Voilet Ward argues the case for Bitcoin to foster a healthy economy\, attract talent and investment\, and create a country that is economically strong\, financially inclusive and supports the ambitions of its citizens. \nMeanwhile\, could the implementation of CBDCs eventually mean ultimate government control of our spending and decision making? Is there a real risk of CBDCs leading to a social credit system and a loss of individual sovereignty? \nWith plenty of opportunity for audience input and interaction\, this timely debate aims to deepen your understanding about the future of your money. \nAbout Susie Violet Ward \nSusie Violet Ward\, Director\, Head of Mining and Sustainability at Bitcoin Policy UK\, is a Financial Analyst with a background in Accounting with a strong interest in Bitcoin and the environment. She has authored several research articles on the benefits of Bitcoin Mining and its advantages for the future of renewable energy. \nTickets for the talk are £10. \nTickets for the talk and then dinner afterwards are £35.

SUMMARY:The Liverpool Salon: Taking Control
DESCRIPTION:The Liverpool Salon: Taking Control \nSaturday 24 June 12.30- 13.45 pm \nPeter Ramsay\, Professor of Law\, London School of Economics discusses his book Taking Control: Sovereignty and Democracy after Brexit. \nStay on after the event to continue the conversation over drinks or lunch in the Athenaeum’s elegant newsroom.  \nTaking Control \nThree years after Brexit many are asking what benefits has it delivered. \nThe promises of national sovereignty and democracy still divide\, with Brexiteers claiming gains\, Rejoiners trumpeting losses\, but very little seems to have changed politically. Few could deny that politics at Westminster currently look even more decrepit and incompetent than before the Brexit earthquake.  \nPeter Ramsay argues that both sides got Brexit wrong. The European Union is neither a supranational nanny state nor an internationalist project for peace and prosperity\, but rather the way in which European elites have tried to evade accountability to voters as the political life of their own nations has decayed.  \nThe nation-states of Europe were transformed into EU member-states as governments were forced to rule the void where representative politics used to be. Leaving the EU has fully exposed this chasm between rulers and ruled but done nothing to close it.  \nNevertheless\, the abiding legacy of Brexit has been to place what were previously abstract questions of the people\, the state\, sovereignty and representation back at the centre of political life. The need to address these questions and build wider democratic engagement has never seemed so urgent.  \nThis book argues for a radical\, forward-looking reconstitution of the British nation-state through strengthening representative democracy. But is the idea of taking control hopelessly utopian in today’s globalised world? And with the return of war in Europe\, might the re-constitution of nation-states be dangerously dystopian?  \nJoin the discussion at the Liverpool Salon\, with Peter Ramsay\, Professor of Law\, London School of Economics and co-author of Taking Control: Sovereignty and Democracy after Brexit (Polity 2023).  \n“This is the most important book to come out of the struggles over Britain’s membership of the EU\, and it makes all other works on the subject look trivial. The authors provide a profound analysis of the issues involved\, and show how only thorough-going changes in Britain’s political and constitutional arrangements will be able to respond to the challenges of this near-revolutionary moment.” Richard Tuck\, Professor of Government Theory\, University of Harvard \n“This book forcefully argues that Brexit was no more than the first step in a long process of rebuilding a democratic nation-state\, indeed a democratic nation\, out of the ruins of a politics without national sovereignty. Sovereign democracy requires effective institutions of civic representation that disempower a political elite content with ruling the void. This book is a breakthrough for democratic theory and a milestone for political debates on the future of democracy.” Wolfgang Streeck\, Emeritus Director\, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies\, Cologne\, Germany \n“The condition of post-Brexit Britain is grim. This excellent book shows that this has little to do with having lost the putative benefits of EU membership. Far more important is the British state’s steady incapacitation and the decay of neoliberal political parties. The promise of “taking control” remains\, but only if Britain undergoes a democratic and social transformation. ”Costas Lapavitsas\, Professor of Economics\, SOAS London \nCopies of the book will be available at a discount on the day.  \nTickets: £7.50
