August 2022 Newsletter

Announcements


This month we celebrated our 10th Chat and Plan (a monthly organising meeting, open to everyone). Unfortunately we didn't manage to get down to the chat and plan together at the same time, so we also celebrating it at the Study Hall event. As is tradition whenever an organisation gets sufficiently large and important (such as the catholic church universities or the army), silly hats are necessary, hence the party hats.
 


Retreat this month! It’s not too late to get your palace - reply to this email for more info. It’s taking place on 30th September to 2nd October (Friday-Sunday). We have booked an accommodation which sleeps 12 (with 5 spots already taken, though there could potentially be space for more if there was high demand). 

The location is in Devon, near Braunton which is about 15 minutes from the beach. We've got a number of activities planned, including working on a project together, having talks and workshops. We also have a pool table and a hot tub there with games planned, so it’s sure to be a lot of fun as well as educational!

We've got a hot tub! Expect to see it ay many EA Bristol events in the future (also available for borrowing). This photo is from our Post-Pride BBQ and hot tub (which quickly turned into just a hot tub)



Our monthly pub meetup, where we played some games in the park, then organised the upcoming retreat and drank some very good (and in this organiser's case, expensive!) beer at BrewDog. Check out events for our next one.
