Pokémon collectors

Hi guys

I'm looking to find fellow Pokémon collectors for trades and maybe casual play. I've been collecting for nearly 10 years now and I'd like to set up a chat or club for collectors in the local area. Poole/Bournemouth area

No scalpers, resellers or anyone looking to profit off Pokémon

Everlast Gym Branksome

Thinking of joining Everlast gym in Branksome, I've heard all of the bad things about it yes yes but it's the only one within walking distance to me so I am willing to tolerate the issues

Issue is, both my husband and I want to go, but £35 per person, £70 per month, would be far too steep esp considering what you would get for that money from the sounds of it.

I'm wondering whether they would care if we shared a membership, as long as we don't go in together of course? Do they check that sort of stuff?

Would anyone here happen to be looking to join a band?

I’m a 25F singer/songwriter starting a pop-rock / indie-pop project and it’s been surprisingly difficult finding musicians who are both local to Bournemouth and actually available

I’ve tried the usual sites (JoinMyBand etc), asked around a bit, and thought Reddit might be worth a shot too.

The sound is probably somewhere around pop-rock/indie-pop and slightly pop-punk leaning.

Mainly looking for guitarists, drummers, bassists

But honestly open to meeting any musicians who might vibe with the project. Doesn’t need to be super serious immediately either, happy to just jam first and see if the chemistry’s there.

Feel free to message if interested 😄

Caravan sites?

Looking to take the caravan for a holiday in Bournemouth. Are there any nice sites on/near the beach?
For both “major” clubs I’m seeing Dorset as the closest.

Thank you!

Help me make a free meet up

I want to create a free, weekly Meetup in Bournemouth like a Coffee & Conversation that welcomes multiple languages and nationalities.

I feel like everything I've seen revolves around money and alcohol and dating.

Any recommendations for cafes that might support something like this?

Any day of the week you think would be best?

Any takers to help me make this a reality?

Dating over 30 in Bournemouth?

Hi all!

I'm a freshly 30 year old woman and moving to Bournemouth for grad school from the US later this year. I've been living in Los Angeles for the past decade or so and haven't really experienced a smaller city's dating scene.

What does the over 30 dating scene over there look like?

I'm a bit heavy as well, and while that's not been a problem here in LA I'm a little worried about it thinning out my dating pool over in Bournemouth 😅

Handmade crochet jumper

Hello everyone

I wasn’t really sure where to post this, but I made this crochet jumper, it took me over 3 weeks to finish.

I lowkey (highkey) don’t want to sell it:,)

It’s made from a mix of very high quality yarns mainly wool, alpaca wool, drops air, cotton, and some acrylic

I actually made it sitting on Bournemouth beach so the colours I used associate me with living here:)

Unfortunately am a little low on funds this month so I’m giving up ma baby
It’s really soft and cosy

If anyone is interested I’ve listed on my Depop
@sofia_gxx
Made with so much love I would appreciate any
Support ❤️

Turkeys vote for Xmas.

Cameron Adams & Duane Farr: These BCP Reform councillors have been formally sanctioned by the council's cross-party standards committee for bullying, disrespect, and bringing the council into disrepute.
Despite being ordered to apologize and attend conduct training, they have openly defied these rulings for over eight months, showing a blatant disregard for accountability.

We see you Reform dispute having conned yourself into local government.

Life at bournemouth

I am moving to Bournemouth for university next year and I have a few questions. is there much of a youthful nightlife? what’s it like living in bournemouth and more of a niche one, is there much of a skateboarding scene there? I do appreciate any help people can give me as I am slightly worried about Bournemouth being a bit shit (not my thoughts just other people’s opinions).

Soundsystem

Hello,

Thought I'd post about my Soundsystem I've built here in Bournemouth. I'm trying to offer something a little different to other nights with this project.

My next event on June 6th will be the 4th outing with it, so it's pretty new.

Hopefully some people here might be interested!

You can find me on Instagram

Does anyone know why there is an RB Salzburg coach driving around the BCP area?

My friend noticed it driving down Alma Road a couple of months ago, and I’ve seen it driving down the Grove twice this week alone, which obviously begs the question; What on Earth is it doing around here?

It looks like it’s a coach that would definitely be used to take the players to games, rather than just a random coach with RB Salzburg branding, and it had a Red Bull logo in the windscreen where you’d expect to see the destination or coach number.

So again, why is it here in little old BCP?
