WallE (Rating U)- I consider this the film of this summer. Beautiful and moving,with very little dialogue. A lot of the movie is open to interpretation and has a gentle soothing and hearfelt theme.
Kung Fu Panda (Rating PG) – Some nice animation and karate action.Story is a bit predictable – unknown panda dreams of becoming Kungfu master,but it is full of comedy and good animation.
Space chimps (Rating U)-This is what the reviews say “A goofy space opera that sends three U.S. chimptronauts rocketing to a galaxy, as they say, far, far away” and “It’s a perfectly acceptable family entertainment with cute monkeys, the usual message of self-empowerment and the eye-popping animation we’ve come to take for granted”

It’s time for this year’s Harbour Festival. The line up looks really good and it’s free. I know I’ll be disappointed to be missing Beth Rowley on Saturday evening. This is an ideal befriending outing as there’ll be something for all age groups and interests (unless the child you’re matched with hates noise or crowds!).

“A train service, much loved by Bristol’s cyclists, is back on the rails. The Sun and Sand Explorer runs between Bristol Temple Meads and Weymouth every Saturday until the end of AugustA similar service used to run twice daily down to the south coast, but it was not included in the latest franchise agreement between the Department for Transport and First Great Western. However, following lobbying by disappointed sun seekers, First announced that it would reinstate the service during the summer months.
It’s a reminder of how rail travel used to be. The vintage diesel locomotives that haul the train are (gosh!) reliable. The old carriages have (gasp!) lots of space. Passengers get to enjoy (wow!) comfy seats and tables. And most amazing of all (get this!) there’s a humungous guard’s van that takes bicycles.

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!

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…

This is a good venue for a busy or curious child. It is also indoors so perfect for wet weekends. Volunteers can get into Explore free, but you need to phone to book ahead (say you’re a carer with Time2Share and show your Time2Share ID at the door). The child you’re with can get an education rate (which is £4.45 for Explore). Toddler time
Explore also has special toddler afternoons. Entry to carers is half-price (£4.50) during these special sessions, and children under 5 go free. Don’t miss the story-telling sessions! Suitable for children under 5 and their families.

Cost: Half-price entry to carers (max. 2 adults per child). Children under 5 go free.
Dates: 3, 10, 17 March 2008
