Our first meeting of the year was a visit to Kinisi Run Hub which gave us a great insight into a family business and a new way to buy running shoes (or just shoes to be active in!)
 
This month we return to the hall to get cozy on a dark, cold evening, and settle in for some suspense and mystery.
 
This month, we welcome AA Abbott (known as Helen to her friends) who writes psychological thrillers about women finding strength in the face of danger.  Her latest work, Run For Your Lies, launched on 4th December.
 
Her three most recent psychological thrillers are set in Bristol, and she will talk about some of the places in the city we all love. Helen will talk about her writing process, her research and s the themes that emerge in the books. Run For Your Lies, for instance, features a woman destroyed by the justice system and the courts, but ultimately finding redemption through love and kindness.  Helen will also do some short readings from her books.
 
Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday 26^th!

Happy New Year!!!  It seems a look time ago since we had a lovely visit to the Bristol Beer Factory Tap Room, where we were able to learn about their production and enjoyed some very generous tastings!!!

 
We start the New Year with another outing.  It’s the time of year where we start to think about getting out more, blowing away the cobwebs and getting more active. This month we will visiting Kinisi Run Hub . Founded by a family of runners, in August 2024, with one goal: to help everyone experience their best run (or walk).
 
Kinisi is the Greek word for movement. Whether you run, jog or walk, you need to move freely and clear from distraction. Their unique approach to gait analysis involves in-depth appointments to find the right shoe for you
 
Jamie Williamson is a co-founder and store manager. He is a former British internationalist and sub 4- minute miler with the ambition and insight to create an authentic running environment accessible to everyone who moves.  Along with co-founders and former athletes, Graham Williamson and Carole Williamson, the team are committed to providing the South West a complete running service. The team are passionate about looking after your feet - wearing good, well-fitting shoes whether running or walking.
 
They will talk to us about how they set up the business, the family background, what is on offer and more about how their gait analysis works.
 
We are welcome to arrive from 7:30pm and the meeting will start at 8pm.  The shop is located at Unit 2 Imperial Arcade, East Street, BS3 4HH near to Asda.  There is plenty of on-street parking near Windmill Hill City farm.
 
Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday 29^th!
