We will cover the one rule of romance plus take a look at tropes, point-of-view, character arcs, and sub-genres. Learn how to navigate romance in terms of your craft and how (and whether!) to wade into the sometimes-wild world of romance fandom. 
The Phantom of the Open
​Tues, Jan 24, 2023, 7pm

A heartwarming true story of a dreamer and unrelenting optimist.  

Maurice Flitcroft, a humble crane operator from Barrow-in-Furness manages to gain entry to The British Open Golf Championship qualifications in 1976, despite never playing a round of golf before. He shot the worst round in Open history and drew the ire of the golfing elite, but in the process became a folk hero and, more importantly, showed his family the importance of pursuing your dreams.
Tea Workshops!
The Multicultural Tea Association was founded in 2017 to spread the understanding of tea knowledge to all ethnic groups through the tea culture exchange activities, and to promote the art of tea through training, lectures, workshops and research. They plan to stream a series of tea demonstrations and knowledge online via zoom to ensure healthy activities are available for seniors who are staying home in isolation. To support the seniors participant, tea sets and tea leaves will be delivered by volunteers to participating associations.
