💖 Women for women Support Group - Bedford
Saturday 07 December 2024
Time: 15:00 - 16:30
🚨 EVENT CANCELLED 🚨
🌳 A friendly gathering/walk organised to create a welcoming and supportive space for women, to walk (or sit) and talk (or not) on Saturdays in Bedford. All welcome.
🫶 WOMEN COMING TOGETHER
We all need a community around us, people we can share moments and experiences with, among whom we find support and understanding. Starting mid-September this will be a regular weekly meet-up (outdoors or indoors - if the right place is found), fostering a safe environment and deeper connections that develop over time.
WHAT IS THIS GROUP INTENDED FOR?
Women for Women is intended as a space where everyone can find their people, their tribe and have that sense of belonging that is more difficult to achieve in the modern world, outside of your closest family circle (if that is the case). We are all different, bringing our uniqueness to the people around us and the community. Let's celebrate and cherish that, learn from each other and be for one another in this space.
🗺 I WOULD LOVE TO BE APART OF THIS - WHERE DO WE MEET?
We meet at Bedford Band Stand in the park - click the address location link above and it will show you.

😃 Mr Scruff is coming to Esquires in Bedford! This one has been a long standing target for the best part of 20 years. We can finally, happily say that we are bringing Mr. Scruff to Bedford Esquires in December, for a mammoth, 5 hour set!
🎧 ABOUT MR SCRUFF
Manchester-based Mr. Scruff is a producer, cartoonist and cross-genre selector who loves to play long DJ sets, and occasionally B2B sets with similarly wide-eared end excitable DJs. He has been DJing since 1984, and has been getting paid for it since 1994.
A sound obsessive who likes to get in the venue early to set up and sound check, he brings his mixer, effects, vinyl (unless he is playing upside down on a windy boat), cables, a sound engineer and some boiled eggs. Sometimes he brings VJ Jim or MC Kwasi. He usually brings socks, but occasionally forgets. All we know, is it's going to be a lot of fun.
🎶 TYPE OF MUSIC TO EXPECT
His DJ sets can range from deep soul/funk/reggae/afro/jazz /latin/hip-hop to harder edged electro/house/new wave/techno /electronic all knitted together with supreme technical skill and a keen sense of fun.
