 izza\, snacks and (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) drinks.\n\nNew people are 
 particularly welcome! You can read a brief introduction to what Effective 
 Altruism is at https://www.effectivealtruism.org/.\n\nThe discussion group
 s will take place on Monday evenings running for 4 weeks from October 24th
  -November 13th. They will be in the JCR of Jesus College starting at 6pm.
 \n\nWhy sign up?\n- We will discuss important and challenging questions li
 ke: "How much should we care about people in the future vs people now?"\, 
 "How can some charities be 1000 times more effective than others?"\, and "
 How can we do the most good?"\n- This will be a great way to meet like-min
 ded people in a relaxed environment with pizza and drinks.\n\nGroup discus
 sions will last around 60-75 minutes\, with each group chaired by an Effec
 tive Altruism: Cambridge committee member. Afterwards\, you can stay for m
 ore informal discussion and drinks. In advance of each session\, we will e
 mail you a short reading with all the key information needed to ensure eve
 ryone can participate fully in the discussion. To keep groups consistent b
 etween weeks we want people to be available to come to most or all of the 
 discussions if possible\, but don't worry if something unexpected comes up
  or you decide after trying the groups that they are not for you.\n\nThe d
 eadline to apply is *midnight on Saturday 21st October*\, and we will conf
 irm your place as soon as possible. Places are limited so if you can no lo
 nger attend\, please let us know via email.
