Wassail on the Ridge

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

*LEEDS URBAN HARVEST WASSAIL!*

Its that time of year again friends to sit 'down by the huge fire of blazing logs to a substantial supper, and a mighty bowl of wassail, something smaller than an ordinary wash-house copper, in which the hot apples were hissing and bubbling with a rich look, and a jolly sound, that were perfectly irresistible.'' Charles Dickens

Bring sturdy shoes, a bit of booze (or whatever you choose)

a bag, or chair, to sit on whilst there

lanterns and torches for our wassail walk

Bike mechaning for women and transgendered people

Submitted by nikolai on

On the weekend of the 12th of Feb Pedallers Arms, Split Peaches, and a special guest from Bristol are organising a bike maintenance course for women and transgendered people.

We hope to have some cycling fun too. Maybe an illuminated bike ride or a critical mass with a sound system....

There will be a charge to cover costs, but we will try to keep it as low cost as possible.
