Next Whiteladies Market

Angela — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 20:33:42 +0000

8.30 to 2pm on the first and third Saturdays of every month, the market is on Whiteladies Road by the junction with Apsley Road. There is a brilliant selection of produce including bread, cheese, cooked meats, cakes, fresh meat, vegetables, fruit, plants, pies, pasties, olives, chillies, and a few non-food items that have a link with cooking or shopping. You can meat the producers and find out where the produce is sourced.

Living Streets meeting

Angela — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 15:09:00 +0000

We know you’re all busy in the run up to Christmas but what better way to get cheerful than hearing about things that can make our streets and our lives so much more convivial and active. Yes there are huge barriers to overcome – habit mainly and a completely false perception that only a tiny minority want change. But delve beneath the surface and the range of activists working away in the City is extraordinary. So thanks to our friends at the Civic Society for hosting this, and on our doorstep too! Friends Meeting House 7.30pm. Its on Hampton road opposite the Clyde Arms Pub BS6 6JE. Speakers are Tony Dyer and Kiron Chattergee. Non-member £4 on door to cover costs, civic soc members £2 voluntary contribution.

Next susred meeting

Angela — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 23:56:00 +0000

Our next meeting will be 25 January 7.30 in the Friends Meeting House on Hampton Road, BS6 6JE opposite the Clyde Arms pub. Everyone is welcome. The theme will be urban streets and transport and Steve Melia is giving a talk about the ‘Living Heart of Bristol’ – how we foster multimodal traffic in the City, so that whether we are on foot, on bikes, with children, on buses, or need motorised transport because of disability frailty or heavy stuff to move and deliver, then the whole system works! Please bring £2 – £3 if you can to cover room hire costs.

Special Christmas Market

Angela — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 02:33:21 +0000

On Thursday 15 December 2pm to 8pm (candlelight) there will be a Special extra Christmas Market, selling local produce and locally made gifts. Same place as the regular Whiteladies Market (corner of Whiteladies Rd and Apsley Rd), and many of our regular stall holders will be there. The event is jointly organised by Keep Whiteladies Local and Sustainable Redland. A number of our Whiteladies Shops will be late evening opening as well, so you can get all your Christmas shopping done.

Period Home Refurbishment

Angela — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 01:51:52 +0000

A free event at the Create Centre. Lots of us in Redland face the obstacles of conservation area and listed building rules and regulations which can make it a nightmare trying to put solar panels up, or double glazing, or external insulation. We have been telling the City Council that it is ridiculous for one department to be exhorting us to cut carbon and reduce fuel use, whilst another department drives us mad by taking 6 months to decide if we are allowed to install hand-built ecofriendly sash windows to non-original rear attic windows! Well – they seem to be listening to us. A free event at Create Centre features useful talks on various hot topics. It should be good. The event is free but places for the talks are limited so get there in good time.
