SHOP Birthdays
Happy Birthday to SHOP-pers, Harriet Miller and Neil Garlick this month. Don’t forget to collect your pressies, birthday people!
Bye Bye, DIY
Thank you to everyone who came to DIY events at SHOP and who contributed to the exhibition by putting their drawings in the box. It has been one of the busiest most exciting months of events ever at SHOP and we hope to continue with more and more excitement as SHOP’s time as an Arts Venue and Social Enterprise progresses.
Website
SHOP’s website is currently undergoing a bit of maintenance and is intermittently offline. If you do catch it online it will be out of date, but please bear with us whilst we make it even better and shoppier.
NOTICE BOARD
If drawing-it-yourself at SHOP during DIY month ignited your love of getting creative, then why not sit and enjoy some drawing over a drink with other drawerers at a Drawing Club? Why not indeed, find out where the Bristol club meet on their blog: http://drawing-club.blogspot.com/

SwapSHOP: Free Library

The SHOP lounge will be home to a free library all through March. Come and sit for a bit and have a read, or take a book home, or donate a book to the library - or all of the above.
Fillum Nights: Words and Letters
4th March
7.30pm – 9.30pm
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Based on the book by Jean-Dominique Bauby - the former French editor-in-chief of fashion magazine Elle – who suffered a massive stroke in 1995 and awoke with an active mind trapped inside a dead body. His only contact and communication with the world was the ability to blink his left eyelid, a form of communication through which Bauby amazingly managed to write a memoir. Adapted from that memoir, the film is an extraordinary flight of the imagination rooted firmly in the realities of the narrator's new world.
31st March
7.30pm – 9.30pm
Pontypool
Set in a radio station in Pontypool , Ontario , the morning team start taking reports of extreme, bloody incidents of violence in riots occurring in town from field reporter Ken Loney. As the story unfolds, the radio staff observe the zombie-like behavior of the rioters and soon realize their attraction to speech. Eventually they postulate the possibility of viral hypnosis being spread through certain words in the English language.
TalkSHOP: Discussion Evening
10th March
7.30pm – 8.30pm
After a man snuck into ‘Women Talk’ last month and some subsequent investigation into the Friends and Neighbours charity, this month’s discussion evening will be open to all! It’s just an hour out of the month to get together and find out a little something about someone who you didn’t know before.
Word Games Night
18th March
7.30pm – 9.30pm
A funsome night of board games! What else is there to add?! Well, yes board games are extremely exciting in themselves, but for extra fun and in keeping with the March theme, all the games this games night will be Word Games. Including, special SHOP Countdown, Taboo and Scrabble. And last but not least, a real live Spelling Bee!
Throw a few word related cocktails and snacks in to the mix (Harvey Wordbanger? (Tongue) Twisters?) and it could quite possibly be the best night of your life. Oh, hang on forgot to add PRIZES for the winners! Now it really could be the best night of your life. I hope Carol can make it.
WorkSHOP: Letter Writing for Amnesty
20th March
11am – 7pm
Come down to SHOP to do some letter writing for Amnesty International, as well as finding out about their current campaigns.
