Come and join us for a beginners class. No previous experience is necessary and you don't need to be able to feel your energy move. Perhaps you've already felt it before though - it's that feeling of your spine tingling. We'll be learning to consciously tap into it and control it.
We'll be doing simple, gentle movements while standing or sitting combined with relaxing deep breathing and a simple awareness practice. Hopefully by the end of the session you'll be able to feel your energy move and be feeling relaxed and energised.
You don't need to wear anything special, other than making sure you'll be warm enough to stand or sit on a bench in the park for half an hour or so, so please dress appropriately for the weather. If the forecast is for rain or to be very cold the session will be cancelled.
**Important**: Please don't eat before the class. We'll be doing very deep diaphragmatic breathing and if you've eaten it'll be far less effective and may be uncomfortable. If you're hungry before class have a small glass of milk, a spoonful of yogurt or a very small amount of some other liquid food.
Note: This is not Tai Chi. The postures are primarily static with an emphasis on moving the awareness around the body.
For our first meetup we'll have a selection of shorter talks on and around the subject. Beer and Pizza will be provided courtesy of our kind sponsors who will be hosing us in one of the newly refurbished agile environments,
Using a potters wheel you can throw your very own ceramic masterpiece. There is a charge of £15 for the session which includes firing your pot. If you want to glaze it too, once it has been fired you can join the pottery hand building meetup at the studio or drop in to one of the general 2hr sessions every Tuesday and Wednesday[masked], 12-2, 4-6, or 6.30 - 8.30 pm (these sessions are £10)

SUMMARY: Swindon Social Enterprise Network (SSEN) will hold its fourth “networking” event on Wednesday 5th June in Metro Bank, 1 – 4 Regent Street, Swindon, SN1 1JQ. The SSEN will be premiering its latest short movie produced by local social enterprise; Create Studios which focuses on the work of the Swindon Night Shelter and Becky Davison from the organisation will talk about their expansion in recent years.
The event will commence at 4.30pm with an opportunity to mingle with other attendees over tea/coffee/juice and biscuits. At 5pm a formal welcome, introduction to the event and update about the SSEN’s work will be delivered by a member of the steering group.
Becky Davison, who was one of the founders of the Swindon Night Shelter back in 2008, will talk about the work of the charity with the homeless and those in financial need. The organisation has grown rapidly in recent years and it now runs a hostel on a Friday night, the Haven day support centre, a busy warehouse, two “in the community” cafes and their latest venture: The Hub shop & café.
Becky realised some time ago that the charity needed to move towards becoming more financially self-supporting and initially set up two community café’s. The most recent venture: “The Hub”, shop & cafe was set up last year and James Phipps, of the SSEN steering group has been working with Becky to further develop and optimize the business over the past few months.
Becky says; “It’s been a blessing working with James. We now employ a part-time shop and a part-time café manager and alongside all the wonderful volunteers we now make an ongoing profit which makes a significant contribution to the costs of our outreach activities. Our experience has been such that we would encourage any charity to investigate creating a trading income stream”.
The event will finish with a further opportunity to network and informally talk to Becky and members of the SSEN steering group closing at around 6-6.15pm.
PLEASE NOTE: Each individual wishing to attend will need to make their own reservation as “block booking” is not permissible.
75 years ago on this day RAF Blakehill Farm would have been buzzing with Pre- D Day activity. Gliders and Dakotas would be been being prepped and loaded ready.

Fun, creative workshops for people of all ages exploring our lives through the languages we know (and those we don’t!)
Join us to tell your life story through different languages – those you speak, have been taught, have misunderstood, or been fascinated by. Think you know only one language? You might be surprised!
You’ll take part in a few drama activities as well as having the chance to do some art and film some footage. Come and uncover your hidden language life with us.
11:30 Drama workshop #1
12:30-14:00 Drop-in activities for anyone coming to workshop 1 or 2: vlogs, graffiti, social media posts, cartoon sketching
14:00 Drama workshop #2
**All activities will be supported by BSL interpreters**
Workshops #1 & #2 will have the same content, so pick the time which works best for you.

For everyone who red Rich Dad Poor Dad book and get inspired to learn more or master your money management skills. Come and play game with us and learn about money management, investment and financial freedom. Please register for a meeting and make a payment in ADVANCE. If I don't see it and see nobody at registration I assume nobody would come and may not come myself. We can do more meetings per month if I can find volunteers who would like to host extra meetings. I can coach on how to make it work and membership for you will be free. Please bring your business cards to network with others, calculators, pens and pencils, rubber to play the game.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) introduced a Test of Competence for internationally registered nurses and midwives in October 2014. The Test of Competence will measure candidates against the current UK pre-registration standards. Nursing in the UK is made up of separate and distinct fields of practice, each requiring three years of pre-registration undergraduate education.
In the UK, midwifery is a separate and distinct profession, also requiring three years of pre-registration undergraduate education.
Please ensure you select the date and time you wish to undertake your OSCE exam. Please note that whilst the average OSCE time is a minimum of 3.5 hours, you may be in the test centre for up to 5 hours.
Once payment has been made, you will receive your confirmation email from the test centre and be provided with personal log in details to the Moodle site within 3-5 working days, where you will be able to access further information about Part 2 and relevant information and documents to prepare for your test.
Do you have questions about Individual Test of Competence OSCE - Part 2? Contact Oxford Brookes University on 01865 48 8414 or email ctc@brookes.ac.uk.
