Goat Day
An update for Goats for Sustainable Woodland Management
Aug 22 2016
Hello Team goat!
We are happy to update you with some exciting goat news... our borrowed goat, goat Lush, will be returning to her home in September and replaced by our long awaited new kids, Spot and Tech Junction UK.
We are hoping that the swap will go well some time in mid September so we are looking at organising our Goat Day for you all on 8th October.
Invitations will come out shortly!

Beyond the Stage crowdfunding update
An update for Beyond the Stage Photography Exhibition
Aug 20 2016
Hi all
Just a quick update and another big thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. So far I'm really pleased with progress - 11 days to go and nearly two thirds the way there so confident we can make it.
Now that you've pledged, if you have a moment feel free to share the link on your own social media. I estimate that approx 11 more backers are needed so any publicity you can give would be a real help.
I will keep you updated
Many thanks
Ken

To the amazing 68 of you
An update for Bearpit Social - The Next Phase
Aug 15 2016
By now you would have all received an email saying our campaign has failed.
Thank you to those who have emailed us and tweeted us but really, I should be thanking for giving us hope and having faith in what we are trying to achieve.
Fear not, we will find a way to do what we need to. We always have.
It was an interesting expierence, and we did manage to raise just a little over £8,000, but we knew we started this we didn't want to settle for anything less than our target as it just wouldn't work doing half the work we needed to do.
We have closed the shop for a couple of weeks. This will give us some time to just take a big breath of air and think about what the next steps for Bearpit Social.
We will be back, and we will be back stronger.
Please come and join us for the Bearpit Banquet anyways! Here is a link: http://bristolbiennial.org/filter/play-your-part/Bearpit-Banquet-Festival-Launch-Party Events like this are the building bricks to truly creating a safe, welcoming, diverse and inclusive Bearpit and we are ecstatic about it!
For those of you who booked for the feasts, we are MORE than happy to do this so you can contact me directly at bearpitsocial@gmail.com
For those of you who wanted the KeepCups, we are still aiming to get these so just keep an eye out on social media or when you pop by the shop.
Forever grateful,
Team Bearpit xxx
