This month we welcome friend of the Assembly Serena, who will ask us to sup deep on the subject of drinking water scarcity from her reservoir of water management engineering skills.

In a country infamous for its rain and drizzle, why are we running out of water? This vitally important topic is not making the splash in public consciousness or the political agenda it demands. What can we do societally and personally to keep our taps running? We will dive into the subject from both a water resources and a human behaviour perspective

Then add all the other elements of The Sunday Alternative to find out why The Rising Sun Arts Centre is the best place to be on a Sunday morning. Find lovey people, live music, interesting ideas, some silliness and cakes.

About The Sunday Alternative

If you're looking for a good time, then look no further than The Sunday Alternative! We're a bunch of secular legends who meet once a month in Reading to celebrate life.

We're about Living Better, Helping Often, and Wondering More, and we do it for one reason only - to make the most of this one life we've got. We're a diverse bunch of characters, so you're bound to meet some cracking new mates.

Our mornings are chock-a-block with singing, games, interesting chats, and scoffing cake. Plus, it's all inclusive - we welcome anyone, no matter their age or background. It won't cost you a penny, if pennies are hard to come by, as we run entirely on donations.

If you're feeling peckish, we've got that covered too. Just come early, which is the best way to meet new people, grab a cuppa, and tuck into some homemade vegan-friendly treats.

Doors open at 10:30 am for teas and chats. The Assembly begins at 11 am and ends at about 12:15 am. Then more coffee and cakes until 1 pm. After we find a pub or a space in the park if the weather is kind.
