Success with Novel Competitions
📅
Friday 6 September 2019
Burdall's Yard, London Road, BA1 5NH
Caroline Ambrose, founder of the Bath Novel Award, will talk us through the judging process for the prize. What are her readers looking for in the submissions? What is it that assures your entry of a place on the shortlist? Does genre matter? Are first sentences really that important? Is first person a no-no? And what happens when you win?
Caroline Ambrose is the founder and organiser of The Bath Novel Award and The Bath Children's Novel Award, two annual international prizes for emerging novelists.
In our Writers' Showcase we invite three local authors to share their novels on stage.

How speed dating in Bath works
By simply arriving at venue for the Speed Dating in Bath event, you will be greeted by our friendly professional hosts. They will settle you in by briefly explaining the format of the evening and confirm how many people you will be dating.
What a Speed Dating in Bath event is all about
At one of our fun Speed Dating in Bath events, you will have four minutes to chat to each date at the Singles Speed Dating in Bath event. Four minutes is long enough to see if you click with the person you are talking to and whether you would like to see them again and also short enough if you don't.
At the end of each date you have a brief few moments to make some notes on the person you have just dated at the Speed Dating in Bath event. This is something to help you for when you put in all your ticks for who you liked from that Bath Speed Dating event.
Speed Dating in Bath guarantee
As it’s very likely to find many other people you like at our Bath Speed Dating events, you can tick as many as you like. Remember if you don't find anyone suitable and tick them all as a ‘No’, we will offer you a free event as part of our guarantee.

India Dalai Lama Trek 2020 for RUH patients
📅
Wednesday 2 October 2019
Royal United Hospital
Calling all walking-enthusiasts and one-of-a-kind experience-seekers! The charity for the Royal United Hospitals (RUH) Bath, The Forever Friends Appeal, is looking for local people to join their 2020 trekking team – who will exlore the spiritual home of the Dalai Lama in India next September. Beginning in Dharamsala (the heart of the Tibetan community), you’ll trek through the beautiful Indian Himalayas, rhododendron forests and high up in alpine meadows surrounded by snow-capped peaks, passing through traditional Hindu settlements, temples and Buddhist Monasteries. You’ll also have the chance to visit the Taj Mahal… and all in the knowledge that every step you take will support patients and their families back home. Plus, new for this year, the group will spend a day volunteering at a school along the route, an amazing opportunity to give back to the local community.
The charity is hosting an Information Evening at the RUH on Wednesday 2nd October from 6:30-8pm. This will feature an evening of presentations about fundraising and the trek itself, including a Q&A session with a Global Adventure Challenges trek leader, as well as a chance to hear about previous trekkers’ experiences.
