January Newsletter!

Happy New Year, Shop Club! SHOP hopes you all had a wonderful holiday season. However, January is a bit poo isn’t it? Don’t worry though; we’ll all get through it if we stick together.

In keeping with those (sometimes irksome) New Year’s Resolutions, we have themed this month according to an old SHOP-irmation favourite: ‘be yourself, but better’. So next time you think ‘I would normally [insert your vice here]’ think ‘no! I can do better than that, I will [insert your best intention here] instead.’

NEWS

****SHOP’s own New Year’s best intention is to be itself but better all year long and put on as many great events as possible for you shop clubbers and provide you with even more delectable vintage clothing and other real goodies.

****Every January SHOP seems to feel a bit bored with its look, and usually makes some cosmetic changes. This month we’ve decided we don’t like the outside of SHOP too much and want to paint it. But, what colour? What do you lot reckon? Please let us know, we need inspiration! Green bogey? Blue bottom? Red eye?

EVENTS

Exhibition: “Things in Panels” by Simon M

Smoo Comic creator, Simon Moreton has put together an exhibition of pictures and comics which will grace SHOP’s panels throughout January. During the month, Simon M is also encouraging everyone to get drawing (be yourself, but better – see?!) as in his much more eloquent words: “Drawing should be fun and democratic, not stuffy and exclusionary.” See Simon’s link above for more information about this ambassador of the felt-tip.

He is also organising another exciting 24 hour event, see further down for more details…
