My goodness! Time certainly flies by fast when you’re having a wonderful time. We held the very first Freethinkers’ Night on Thursday, 28th January 2010 at 4 Points bar and Restaurant. We’ve held them every month ever since, at the same place.
I started blogging about them starting with the second one (at the time of the first Freethinkers’ Night, this blog didn’t exist!):
This upcoming Freethinkers’ Night we will be celebrating one year of Freethinkers’ Nights in Kampala!
We’ll talk about what we’ve been able to accomplish in the twelve months in which we have been actively engaging the public on various issues, and what we think we should aim for in the next twelve.
Special Guest: We will also be joined by Venerable Buddharakkhita Bante from the Uganda Buddhist Centre who will be speaking to us about Buddhism and its philosophy.
The January 2011 Freethinkers’ Night is going to take place on Thursday, 27th January at 4 Points Bar & Restaurant, Centenary Park, Kampala, starting 6PM. Entrance is FREE.
If you are an open minded person whose opinions are formed not by religious or cultural dogma but on the basis of science, logic, and reason and are interested in meeting like-minded individuals – you are WELCOME to join us for this celebration.
See ya!

How far Freethought Kampala has come! Any achievements so far?
Here’s my take:
I don’t know much about the rest of the founder members of the group but, for what it’s worth, it’s after being persuaded and compelled by this group’s members that i rejoined facebook to contribute in the discussions and networking.
So, as Freethought Kampala celebrates a year in existence, i will also be celebrating a one of active presence on Facebook.
And despite my own disappointment with my ‘Godly’ (invisible) contribution to the group over the past year, i am pleasantly proud and honored to still be part of the group, for many reasons.
For instance, through our regular Saturdays (the idea of which – if you may permit me to brag a little – i sold to James) and Last-Thursdays’ meetings, a lot has transpired.
Now, without going into our stocked and interesting details, maybe we could have done better in terms of achievements. But as a bunch of realistic and, not to mention, cynical and individualistic people who don’t believe in the supernatural hand (miracles), our continued congregation, on-and-off visible presence in the media for public awareness and/or other efforts in this aspect, given that this is the first of its kind of group in this country; to me, cynical as i may be, ‘s remarkable enough an achievement worth celebrating.
So cheers comrades, but aluta continua!
