TRAINING BULLETINS
  • A permanent discussion for training bulletins/queries.
  • A few folks have been asking about training times, is it possible to get them input into the calendar please?

  • Thanks Keir, I hadn't seen that the times had been posted yet. They should all be on the calendar now.
  • we don't have a training slot today, dance studio is booked by dance soc all evening. i'm banking on them not using it, and as i am technically a member of aforementioned society I will likely be heading there at 5 to see wassup and get my train on
  • anyone know what's going to happen with summer bookings? and alternative practice spaec (like secret places)
  • I'm working on summer bookings, but Margaret isn't around atm so they're being difficult about giving us bookings. We have a room every day until 6th July, by which time she should be back and I'll have sorted out the rest of the summer bookings. I don't see why we shouldn't be able to train in the union during the summer.
  • legend kaete. depends if their planning to close (more) areas to do work for refurb though
  • Thank you Kaete for sorting all of this x
  • Hey everyone,
    So I've finally heard back from the room booking people and we now have these summer training slots up until the end of July (we should have rooms booked for August but it's not yet clear when we'll have our slots, as the union opening times are different (closing at 5pm), so I'll have to get back to you about that later):
    Wednesday, 7-9pm; every other weekday, and Saturday and Sunday, 5-8pm.
    The rooms aren't specified yet, i.e. we'll have to ask the porters I guess. I'm sorry but I don't have time to update the calendar atm, so please pass on the info and I'll try to find the time soon to get it on the calendar. Cheers x
  • My bad, I forgot to mention the union is closed on Sundays so no training that day!
  • Thanks Kate :) x
  • I'm thinking of booking a studio at the student sport centre for a weekday evening next week. Would people be interested?
  • I would be, do you know how much it costs?
  • Just to update: Still haven't heard from room bookings, but I've emailed them again and will hopefully have a response soon. In the meantime, all they've said is that the union is open 9am to 5pm, so we can train if we come between these times and they have space. Until they get back to us about space, I'd say just head down to the union if you can make those times and ask if there's a room free.
    Hopefully I'll have more news by Monday evening. x
  • i'd be interested foz.
  • "Hello Kate

    Your bookings are in place 12-2 until 25th August then back to normal from 31st August. We have a large conference booked for 11 days of September, this may have an impact on your 5pm start time but at the moment I do not know about this as they have not confirmed the time slots for certain rooms.

    We are also about to start the next phase of the refurbishment project and certain works have to be done before term starts so this will disrupt some bookings, so check your room allocation on arrival at the Reception.

    I try and get the diary to Reception on a Thursday before the week commences so you should be able to check times from this.

    Regards

    Margaret"
  • Thanks Käte!
  • you're a legend kate!!
  • Studio 1 (the big one) booked at the University Sports Centre on Tyndall Avenue (BS8 1TP) for 17:30-18:30 on Friday.

    I've booked to hire, so no one should have to pay to get in, but the booking fee was £20 so a small contribution to ME would be nice.

    (That said, I didn't check the time or date with anyone, so if only a few people turn up I don't expect more than a couple of quid each.)
  • you're a legend Foz!!
  • Uni sports centre booked tomorrow (Friday)
    6:30-7:30
  • hi. im not at bristol uni but id like to get involved in the breakdance classes. is there an email address where i can get more information?
  • Hey @willberforce - I've let the committee know you're asking :)
  • who are the committee now?
  • Spoke to the porters, we have MR5A booked 5-7 every day this week except Wednesday - which is 7-9. Hopefully they won't move training around for this college course they're doing, theft didn't today so that's a good sign.
  • Thanks Foz, times for this week are on the calendar
  • Hi,
    I am new to Bristol. When and where are bboy training session?

    Thanks for the assistance.

    Shez
  • Hi Shez, we have training at the student union every day, you can see times & rooms by clicking on the calendar link at the top. There is a £5 membership fee to join the student society, which gives you access to these training session for the whole year.

    I believe there are also training sessions at Motion nightclub but this is not society related.
  • Thanks Mike for the info. are there no training sessions this week and next?

    Could you also advise where exactly are the training sessions. I am not sure where MR5C is exactly or where student union is located. What time are the training sessions?

    Best Regards,
    Shez
  • The union is at BS8 1LN, and MR5C is on the 5th floor, but you can ask the porters at the reception area where to go.

    We have "official" bookings from 10th October which are all on the calendar, I think we should have 5-7 during next week but it's Fresher's Week so I'm not certain that we actually have them, on Thursday and Friday we definitely won't due to the Fresher's Fair.

    Cya at training dude =)
  • Cool. Thanks for the info.

    I will try to make it, tomorrow Tuesday at 5pm.

    See ya.
  • Any training on today, or might there be some jamming at the Freshers Fair?
  • No training until Monday I believe.
  • Anyone for Jamming under the covered bit by @Bristol this evening?
  • Would love to but childcare duties, also fun, in the way.
  • Anyone up for getting to training early, say 2 or 3pm?
  • Hmm, doesn't look like there's much space according to the timetable. I'll get there a bit before 4 anyway.
  • Hey I've recently joined the breakdancing society and was wondering where I can find the timetable for the training sessions? Thanks
  • Welcome!
    Calendar is up at: https://www.google.com/calendar/b/0/embed?src=unibreakers@gmail.com
    There should be a link up at the top of the main unibreakers page. We mainly train at the University of Bristol union on Queens road in Clifton, the porters there usually know which room we're in too.
  • Sweet! What days are most busy?
  • Busiest are usually Fri, Sat & Sun.
  • Are there any training sessions this week? Specifically after 6pm as I can not make it earlier than that. Will there be any training sessions next week onwards or will it be closed till next year.
  • Hi,
    Yup there are. Check this calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/b/0/embed?src=unibreakers@gmail.com

    Today, tomorrow and Friday finishes at 7pm. Saturday is from 6pm until 8pm.
    And for the all weekdays next week from 5pm to 7pm.

    Unfortunately we only get the space during term time so the last training session is the 16th, and then we start back a month later.
  • Dude, is there a reason why the training spots on a Saturday have got later recently? Timing training avec drinking and partying becomes a bit tight is all :D
  • Just the slots we are given I'm afraid.
    Aren't u coming motion tomorrow anyway? ^^
  • Are there training sessions in Motion? If so when?
  • No problemo, was just wondering! I can't make tonight now waaaaaaaaaaaaaah :'( Have fun if you go! x
  • anyone know any training over xmas ??
