 On Tuesday 22nd November there will be a mincemeat making workshop in the Union. So if you fancy preparing the innards for some lovely vegan mincepies then come along! 

You'll need to bring jars/containers for the mincemeat, and a spoon. We've ordered lots of ingredients so the amount we make is up to the amount of people who turn up and how much you would like. We'll be requesting donations be made to Green Action, depending on what you think an appropriate amount

At Pedallers Arms this Sunday we're having our second ever drop in
bike maintenance session for women and trans people. If this is you,
you're very welcome to come along any time between 12 and 5. This
month we're also having a special session on brakes to kit you out for
the cold, wet months so if you'd like to be there for that then come
down at 1pm. Would be nice to see you especially if you haven't been
to the new space yet, the last session was really lovely.
