Hello lovely current assemblers, and assemblers to be,

We need you!

The group of organisers has been slowly decreasing in size as life moves on for various people – this would be fine except that we haven’t had the same number of people sign up to replace them all.

This has left us with one person in particular shouldering 90% of the behind-the-scenes workload for a number of months now, and they are unable to continue with that level of commitment.

The VITAL to fill roles are:
Chair (from August at the latest)
Musical director

There are several other roles that would be great to fill, and every little helps a huge amount, but those two are the critical ones to fill. They both require a large amount of work and at present are done by one person who cannot keep this up.

This is a warning that without more volunteers joining the organisers Sunday Assembly Bristol will be coming to an end, or continuing in a significantly reduced form.

We’re sad to have to post this, but this is where we are.
– The Sunday Assembly Bristol Organisers

Sunday 7th April, 10:45 @ Trinity Centre As the days start getting lighter and the first trees start to blossom, it’s hard not to get a little bit excited that spring has finally sprung! Marking the changing of the seasons is common place across time and cultures, but what does spring mean for you? This month we welcome Chrissie and Nick from Bristol Humanists who will be exploring this topic, from the meaning of rituals and traditions to the human experience of life, death and renewal. Come along and celebrate the new season with us with singing, socialising and cake! If you like Facebook, check out the event here; and if you like Meetup, check out the event here. As always, we’ll be having a pub social at the Old Market Tavern afterwards, with food and drink. There are even some board games for all ages available at the pub! So, just to summarise: We’ll see you at about 10:45 for an 11:00 start at the Trinity Centre. We’ve set up a chair for you already. Hope to see you there! Buckets of love, Sunday Assembly See you on Sunday, at 10:45

That’s right, we’re thanking you because every part of Sunday Assembly only works if we have people to share in it with us.

Sunday 3rd March MONTH, 10:45 @ Trinity Centre Don’t forget, it’s that time of the month again – Sunday Assembly Bristol is THIS SUNDAY!

We also have our usual assortment of excitement (songs, readings, trying your best, tea and cake), so come along and join in the fun!

Wander More – Sunday 24th February, 10:00 @ Ebbor Gorge

A friendly, free group walk open to all. 

We’re going to walk around Ebbor Gorge, near Wookey Hole, with some pretty impressive gorgery and views across the Somerset Levels. 

The walk will take about two to three hours and has some short but steep climbs and muddy spots. There is a lovely viewpoint and we can finish with a visit to the Queen Vic in Priddy should we wish.

Keep an eye out for a car-pooling on social media as this place is quite difficult to reach by public transport (it is nice though!)

Next Assembly 

The next assembly we have is our March assembly where we have our rescheduled speaker from February, Professor Havi Carel, talking about Phenomenology of Illness, as she was unfortunately under the weather this month! 

It will be on the 3rd March (Sunday) at the time of 11:00. The address is still the Trinity Centre, which can be found at Trinity Rd, Bristol BS2 0NW.

We’re always looking for volunteers, so if you’ve just learnt a new song on an instrument or fancy reading something personal in front of a great friendly crowd, just reply to this email.

Sunday 3rd February, 10:45 @ Trinity Centre Hello assemblers!

Our February assembly is tomorrow (sorry for the late notice)! There’s a slight change to our February assembly as unfortunately our arranged speaker is actually feeling quite ‘under the weather’ and so we will be shaking things up a bit with a last minute speaker change! Come along for a little bit of mystery (here’s a hint – it’s weather related)!
 We also have our usual assortment of excitement (songs, readings, trying your best, tea and cake), so come along and join in the fun!
If you like Facebook, check out the event here;
and if you like Meetup, check out the event here.

As always, we’ll be having a spot of lunch at the Old Market Tavern afterwards.

So, just to summarise:

We’ll see you at about 10:45 for an 11:00 start at the Trinity Centre. We’ve set up a chair for you already.

Hope to see you there!

See you on Sunday, at 10:45
