Fri, Nov 15, 2024, 7:00 PM GMTManchester Visit
Needs location
I am planning a visit up to Manchester with a couple of people and though it may be a good idea to share it with others.

The plan is to visit Canal Street on the Friday (Student Night) and Saturday nights, visit the Northern Quarter and visit the Lowry Gallery in Salford Quays.

If you are not free on the Friday , you can join us on the Saturday. You will need to make your own arrangements for accommodation. We are staying at Piccadilly Gardens a short walk to Canal Street, Northern Quarter and Arndale. It is also a short walk from Piccadilly Station.

I am planning to drive up with another person (to cut costs). I have space for another two people (and we can split the petrol and parking) - please ask if interested. I am planning to leave Bristol at around midday (to arrive for around 3pm) - but I will let you know nearer the time. There are also hourly train services from Bristol Temple Meads.

Sat, Nov 16, 2024, 1:00 PM GMTPhoto exhibition 'Now Keep Quite Still'
@thewell Cafe Laundrette, Bristol
Bristol photographer Herbert Shergold took Hollywood-esque portrait photos in the 1950s and 1960s using glass negatives, a practice that had fallen out of popularity since the 1920s. Most of his sitters were local residents, however Shergold was gay and some of the men posed semi-clad while others wore feminine clothing and makeup, likely seeing a space where they could be themselves.

A small exhibition titled Now Keep Quite Still is running at The Launderette, 145 Cheltenham Road, Cotham.

Join me there on Saturday 16th November at 1pm. The exhibition is free.

Afterwards we can move on to a cafe or pub.

Sun, Dec 8, 2024, 7:00 PM GMTPub Quiz at King Street Brew House

Let's get quizzical. Join us for a fun evening of quizzing and brain wracking. The first prize is a £100 bar tab, second a £50 bar tab, to be spent at the next quiz night.

Can you name the largest organ of the human body?
Or which attraction grows 6 inches every summer?
Whatever your specialist subject, you are invited to the King St Brew House pub quiz.

Previously, we have had many top-two finishes and we attribute the success we've had to the fact that we are a diverse group with lots of different knowledge between us. The rounds are really varied so there is something for everyone.

The quiz starts at 7:30pm and should be over by 10, but please can you get there for 7pm to get tables and register the teams.

It costs £2 per person with a max of 6 per team.

I've limited numbers to 12 so hopefully we can field two teams.

Please can you keep your RSVP up-to-date. Let us know if you can no longer come, and likewise, please only turn up if you have RSVPd Yes so we know on the day how many teams we are fielding. Thank you.
