Events

Here are some details of our upcoming events between now and the next assembly:

Chat and Plan – Sunday 11th February, 11:30am @ Old Market Tavern

This month, we’ll be having our Chat and Plan at the Old Market Tavern (the same pub we visit each month after the assembly). Join us to discuss all things Sunday Assembly, get involved and help out with the running of SundayAssembly Bristol (hint hint, we’d love more help!), or just listen and get a better idea of how everything works, and possibly a sneak preview of future assemblies!

Wonder More – Sunday 11th February, 14:00 @ Bristol Museum

This month, after our monthly Chat and Plan, Sunday Assembly Bristol are headed to Bristol Museum.

There are lots of exhibitions on: in addition to the large number of permanent exhibits, it’s the penultimate weekend of the Pliosaurus! exhibition if you’re up for a Jurassic jaunt, or there’s ‘Empire Through The Lens’ which should fit in well with this month’s theme of Breaking the Chain. Basically, there’ll be something for everyone. More details about what’s on can be found on the museum website.

We’ll meet in the main hall underneath the biplane at 2 and then explore what the museum has to offer before a cuppa (and maybe some cake…) in the Museum café around 4.

The trip is open to all, and there’s lots for kids to do too. Entrance to the museum is free, though donations are welcome and the Pliosaurus! exhibition is a pay what you want affair.

Richard is organising and you can contact him by replying to this email or on 07816 271989 with questions etc.

Wander More – Sunday 18th February, 11:00 @ Burrington Combe and Beacon Batch

The Sunday Assembly Bristol Bimblers are branching out! This month, we’re heading to the highest point in the Mendip Hills – Beacon Batch.

We’ll be starting from the car park nearest the cattle grid at the lower entrance to the gorge (https://goo.gl/maps/UvT79VeLHW32). The route takes us past the intriguingly named Rock Of Ages, several caves, before heading out onto moorland with what we hope to be impressive views out over the Somerset Levels. The Burrington Inn lies at the end of our walk where the traditional tea and (probably) cake can be purchased. The walk is just over 4 miles (7km for the more metrically minded) long, will likely be rather muddy and there’s some significant ups and downs (about two Avon Gorges worth) so please make sure you’ve got sturdy footwear.

Dogs and children are welcome to come along, though there are rumoured to be ponies on the hill, so pups will need leads.

We’ll be setting off at 11 from the car park. We’re working on car-sharing options at the moment as most of us will be driving from Bristol. If you’re in need of a lift or can offer one, or have any issues or questions, please drop us a message or contact Richard on 07816 271989.

Next Assembly

And the next assembly we have is our March assembly, on the theme of ‘Bee Positive‘ where Clara Montgomery will be talking to us about the positive charge of bees! It will ‘bee’ on Sunday 4th March at 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.

That’s everything for now, but if you have any ideas about what could make Sunday Assembly, FUNday Assembly, do get in touch.

This is Chair of Sunday Assembly Bristol signing off,

Stay awesome,
Jess.
