August news....



Following our lovely summer outing to the Clifton Observatory last month, we are out and about again this month to make the most of the summer evenings, so please don’t go to the hall!!

Back by popular demand after a highly entertaining romp around the city centre and St Michael’s Hill last summer; Tim Mowl will take us on another of his entertaining and informative guided urban walks.  Our route this time will start at Harbourside, then on to Redcliffe, Castle Park and the new developments and bridges around Temple Quay, ending at Wapping Wharf.

Please meet at Severn Shed, (near Queen Square) by 7.15 for departure at 7.30 prompt. We will be finishing at Wapping Wharf around 9.30pm – with an optional post walk drink in Wild Beer or one of the other bars/cafes there.

It would be really helpful if you could let us know if you are coming, particularly if you are bringing any guests (£5 as usual)  - that will help give an idea of numbers, otherwise just turn up on the day. Any late arrivals or queries on the day call Avril on 0780 395 4120.

Fingers crossed for good weather.  See you on Wednesday 30th August.

July news...


Last month’s meeting provided us a real insight in Chirology or Hand Reading and the fascinating science behind it.  Thanks to Lawrence Rook for teaching us about the ancient art.

July sees us venture out on our summer outing so there will be no meeting at the hall.  We have organised an evening focused around the Clifton Observatory including tours of the cave and the Camera Obscura plus fabulous views of the Suspension Bridge.

We are not able to take any further bookings, so unfortunately if you have not yet booked, we will not be able to accommodate you on the evening.  Further details will be sent shortly to those who have booked a place.

We are also out and about for our August meeting, exploring the Harbourside.  Further details will be available in next month’s newsletter.

Fingers crossed the sun continues to shine.

June news....


Last months meeting proved to be a really though provoking meeting and definitely gave us the feel good factor. Cat from Nudge Fit gave us some fab ideas on how to nudge our way to happiness and somehow managed to get us all to put a pencil in our mouths!  Helen from Jessie May gave us a personal insight into the charity’s work and how the hospice at home nurses really make a difference.  It was heart-warming to see how the lives of both the children and their parents are transformed by the amazing work the nurses do.

 June sees us learning about Chirology (Hand Reading to you and me!) Have you ever wanted to what career suits you best? What sort of partner you should look for? How you can improve your health? Lawrence Rook will reveal all! Lawrence is a qualified Chorologist with over 10 years expertise in the field.  He will be introducing us to the history & science behind Chirology as well as covering hand examination & showing how modern palm reading is a remarkable tool for insight and analysis.

As you know we like to get out and about for July’s meeting & this year is no different! Our “Tour & Tacos” outing to the Clifton Observatory camera obscura and caves, plus a stroll across the Suspension Bridge, will be on Wednesday 26th July. Please sign up at the meeting to confirm your place and let us know whether you prefer meat or veggie tacos (all are GF). If you want to bring a friend please do, at the bargain price of just £10 (including tour/tacos and bubby of course!!) We will confirm final details closer to the time but we are suggesting rendezvous at the Observatory at 7.30pm.  You will need to make your own way to and from Clifton.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 28th.
