The Bristol Listings site maybe useful if you’re looking for something to do for a befriending outing. This is probably more suitable for the older young people as it’s mostly gigs etc. There even seems to be a category for free gigs (although I’m not sure how good the music is…). The site is associated with Suit Yourself Magazine, a local independent.

Get together? -Balloon festival
Dear all,
I have been volunteering for time2share for the past six months. I have met other volunteers during the initial induction, but not since then. I was wondering if anyone was interested in a get together/fun day out with the befrienders/children? We have the Funday/AGM coming up in the first weekend of July, but I’m also thinking of another get together the weekend of the Bristol Balloon festival (which is the 7th-10th August). It should be a fun day out with lots of activities for the children to enjoy – and watch the balloons take off! If anyone is intersted, perhaps we could organize a trip on one of the balloons as well for the children who are interested. Please email your interest to Jenny (Bristol@time2share.org.uk) mentioning that you read this post on the blog (or putting it in the subject line). Jenny will then put you directly in contact with me to arrange the details.
Really looking forward to hearing from everyone!

New Titch Hiker’s Guide for the Summer
The latest version of the Titch Hikers Guide to Bristol is now out as a special summer edition (£2.99). We got a free copy in the office, because Time2Share is featured in the guide on page 134. If you’re interested in getting your own copy look at this link: http://www.freedomguide.co.uk/ (this also includes options to buy the other books in the series). Alternatively I can look up details for you using our copy, just email me on bristol@time2share.org.uk or phone into the office (941 5868). If I ever get the time to do it, I may post some of the most useful looking tips here…
