On Sunday as part of A Beautiful Machine, Cyclodelic organised an Easter themed Bicycle Treasure Hunt around the centre of Bristol. The weather was sunny and everyone had great fun doing chocolate egg and spoon races, getting pictures of strangers in moustaches, beating the rabbit at chance, hunting for eggs, and eating apples with no hands. Thanks to everyone who helped out with the organising and those who took part.

Good news for you lovely Bristolians, we are coming to hold one of our legendary sample sales later this week.

Naomi is out in the back warehouse right now getting the clothes sorted out and packed up.

Once that’s done and we fix a small windscreen wiper problem, Simon will be driving the big black van down to the Bristol shop on Thursday.

There will be the usual collection of great end of line items along with a few amazing one-off samples (some in odd colours) that we never put into production, some otherwise brilliant stuff with dodgy buttons and plenty of other t-shirts and things at bargain prices.

Definitely worth a look if you’re in the area.

The sale will be held upstairs in the shop – here’s the address and opening times -

Hope to see you there.

Here at the Bristol shop we have strong links with a local charity called Fairbridge West which works with some of the most disadvantaged and disengaged young people in Bristol and the West. Fairbridge West offer these young people a combination of 1-2-1 support, training and skills to help them realise their true potential and change their lives. You may remember that some of us had a box car challenge with Fairbridge last year.

They are inviting 50 people to take part in the Bristol Half Marathon on September 5th 2010 to raise money for their great cause. If it’s the time of year for you to dust of your running shoes, then the 13 miles harbour side to suspension bridge run would be fun to aim for and you have plenty of time to build up those muscles and get your time down.

The places are going to be available soon, cost £36 and we will be getting some leaflets in the shop with some more info. If you are interested, contact Ella at Fairbridge West on 0117 9425362 or email her at ella.pollock@fairbridge.org.uk

It’s from a little way back but i just watched again and it’s still as sick as………..

We have two new shop windows for the coming month, one in Bristol one in Carnaby Street. We also have a theme. What will be happening in 2019, what will change, what will be the same, what will be better what will be worse. Come along and let us know what you think by writing all over our windows and telling us how you think the world we live in will be. We’ll provide the marker pens you provide your thoughts.
