Avon Gorge
On Sunday 28th February we will be working with Bristol City Council and a group of climbers with some clearance work in the Avon Gorge. The aim is to preserve an area of grassland along the base of the Gorge.
If you would like to come along please email Emily by 5pm on Wednesday 24th February.
Pancake Day
We will be celebrating the deliciousness of pancakes with a Pancake Day social on Tuesday 9th February at 7:30pm at the house of our social secretary’s house (23 Highbury Villas, Bristol, BS2 8BY). The evening will inevitably be filled with fun and games – likely of a traditional lycanthropic theme. Feel free to bring your favourite toppings.
Leigh Woods
On Sunday 7th February we will be returning to Leigh Woods to continue the tree felling in the Nightingale Valley with the National Trust. We will be out from about 10am to 4pm and likely head to the pub or Union afterwards.
If you would like a place on this trip please email Emily by 5pm on Thursday 4th. Last term’s trip to Leigh Woods was oversubscribed so if you missed out on that one and would like to this Sunday you will be guaranteed a place.
Gilling Down
Providence Plantation
On Sunday 6th December we will be continuing the scrub clearance and upkeep at Providence Plantation out at Long Ashton. We’ll be getting the bus from Bristol Bus Station at around 9:30am and aiming to be back by 4pm.
Providence Plantation is a piece of woodland owned by Bristol University and is an ongoing project for BUCG. We aim to improving the biodiversity and pathways of the wood. It’s great fun out in the fresh air and, as always, no prior experience is needed. If your interested in getting involved please email Emily by 5pm on Monday 30th November (you must be a member to participate).
Pub Quiz
On Tuesday 3rd November we will be taking part in the pub quiz at the Brass Pig. We aim to get there around 7:30-7:45pm to get tables and form our teams ready for the 8 o’clock start. There is a £1 entrance fee. And remember: don’t worry about getting the answers – it’s all about having a fun evening!
Halloween Bonfire
Update: Because of the recent rain we decided it was to damp for a bonfire on Friday so we went to the Brewhouse instead. If you were looking forward to fun and games, food and flames in the forest fret not – the Halloween Providence bonfire will be happening on Sunday 1st November!
On Friday 30th October we will be having an evening Halloween bonfire social at Providence Plantation. A fun time will be had playing games and toasting marshmallows! Feel free to wear some spooky fancy dress – a prize will be given to the best one! Food will also be welcome. We recommend bringing a torch, warm clothes and maybe even a blanket. If people want to join later we can meet you at the bus stop by Providence Lane in Long Ashton. Return buses are at every 20 past and 20 to the hour so you can stay as long or little as you like.
We will be meeting at the Hawthorns at 6:30pm and then catching the 7:00pm bus from the bus station.
Should it be raining we will instead go to a pub for the evening and return to Providence another day for the bonfire.
Avon Wildlife Trust trip
On Sunday 25th October we will be joining the Avon Wildlife Trust to do some conservation work on one of their site; what and where exactly is yet to be decided. We will be meeting at the AWT offices on Jacob’s Wells Road at 9:45am and heading off on a minibus. We expect to be back in Bristol by about 4pm.
If you would like to go please email Emily by 5pm on Wednesday 21st October. Please note that you must be a member to attend.
Boiling Wells
On Saturday 17th October, 11am-4pm, we will be going on autumn trip to St Werburghs City Farm to help prepare their Boiling Wells site for their Apple Day event on the Sunday. It is a fun trip in a great part of Bristol with a variety of things to do including apple picking and tidying the paths. We will most likely head to the nearby pub, The Farm, afterwards.
To sign up please email Emily by 5pm Wednesday 14th October. You must be a member to attend this trip; membership can be bought on our Union page for only £5 for the year. Places may be limited so if the event becomes oversubscribed people will be picked at random to go.
Additionally, if you would like to volunteer for the City Farm’s Apple Day you can email Sophie.
