May the SHOP force be with you this month!

SHOP is great - AFFIRMATIVE! The last event of April was an event with Tenderfoot called 'We Robot' - in a nutshell, making robots and robot accessories out of a shed-load of cardboard, pictured above. It was so much fun we larfed our shoppy-socks off check the blog shortly to see what we did with all that cardboard and have a little looky at this vid to whet your appetite in the meantime!

NEWS


SUNDAY GIRLS AND BOYS
SHOP is continuing unabashed with its 7 days a week opening! Our lovely volunteers Leila and Asa will soon be joined by three more equally lovely helpers. If you would like to sign up to be a SHOP volunteer then get in touch :)

SHOP will be open every Sunday from 12-4pm through May. Now that's a perfect tonic to the post Bank Holiday blues if ever we've heard one.

SSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH...
This is so top secret that this newsletter has been fitted with a self destruct device as assurance, even though we aren't allowed to mention the secret anyway. Just to let you know we have a big secret event happening at SHOP in May. Some of you might be involved but you don't even know it yet.

Tales From An Urban Wonderland
An exhibition of photographs by Bristol photographer Alex Rankin.
Monday 16th May – Saturday 21st May


The exhibition features work from an ongoing project that seeks to portray the urban landscape from an abstract perspective. The images aim to capture colours, textures and shapes that are encountered within urban environments while also exploring the mood and atmosphere that can be found within neglected or overlooked spaces.

Record Club
Tuesday 24th May - 7:30pm – 10pm

The aim of the night is to play 2 or 3 long play records and to really appreciate the music. These records might be old classics, forgotten gems or brand spanking new. The records are usually nominated by the people in the club (via a comment on the blog or twitter account) and voted on
in the week before the night.

SHOP will be open at 7:30 and we’ll aim to start playing the first record at eight. Feel free to bring some nibbles and drinks along.
