Café Philo is a way of meeting interesting, inquiring people who enjoy talking about life's big issues and conundrums in a convivial atmosphere in the Bristol and Bath areas. We meet regularly in cafés, pubs and other suitable venues to discuss all manner of philosophical topics. Some are profound, others are decidedly not. Our discussions are non-party-political and free of religious or ideological dogma (most of the time at least). We encourage a healthy mix of the serious and humourous, so yo …

I'm not massively into things like games or walks, but atm this group is open to its members organising events, s …

You’ve lost your job… It was very tempting to call this group Desperate Housewives but that was too limiting and… well, desperate! Whatever your circumstances if you …

I love art and have been painting for ages now :) I personally enjoy painting with oil on canvas, acrylic and water colour (in that order) but I do get bored doing it all alone. So, I thought this might be a good idea for all interested to get together to paint, share techniques and just have a good time together while meeting new people .. If you like painting or other form of art, to share techniques with a bunch of similar minded people, then please do join !
