Gather - big launch now July 13

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,


As many of you will have seen in the General thread, Gather, a new zero waste shop / refillery and community space (think environment talks and sustainability workshops) is opening shortly at 121 Bellenden Road.


As a bit of context, we're an independent social enterprise, run by us, Laura and Tash, We're both local and we're really passionate about making this work for the community. We have been planning this for a very long time, and some of you will have filled in our survey many months ago, so thank you for bearing with us.


After a number of hiccups, we missed our target of opening in May, but do hope to open by the end of this month, and in the meantime you're really welcome to pop by to say hi when we're in there getting things ready, or to follow/read up on us at - links below.


We'll definitely continue to use the forum to get views on what more, better, and differently we can be doing. This is all new for both of us, but hopefully it won't show!


Thanks for all your support,


Laura and Tash

Hi all,


With apologies for the delay in getting back on the revised timings, we are delighted to announce we will (finally) be opening on July 6 - hope to see as many of you as possible in the weeks and months ahead.


Thanks


Tash and Laura, Gather, 121 Bellenden Road

Thanks all, and yes Sue we're big fans of Laura over at BYO and have recommended her on the forum to others before too!


As you will have seen from the updated date, very sadly we have had to shift our big launch day back a week to July 13. We've had a couple of hiccups in the last few days that have made it impossible to open tomorrow. We're pretty gutted, but we are nearly there.


See everyone soon.


Tash and Laura

    • That's a good idea smiley blue , if you or anyone else comes across petitions to end these despicable acts of cruelty to defenceless animals please put on here or start a new thread if you please so we can sign the petition and add our objections to this , I would also like to thank all of you the people for reading these messages and adding your voices to this cruelty,  maybe we can end it 
    • Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.    
    • Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor
    • Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer.
