Good afternoon from Northgate Street! I have been quiet for a few days again, fear not however, for there hasn't been a secondary apocalypse (thank goodness, I have no idea how I handled the first one quite so calmly and smoothly..) We've merely been horrendously busy and inundated with requests, sign ups and interested parties, as well as our own jobs and social lives, but this is a good thing! Nay! A great thing!!
It is Wednesday afternoon; two days after our opening on Monday which went really, really well if I do say so myself, even better than we'd have hoped for. We were full all day and booked in shed loads of 16 - 25 year olds for the up and coming months. We have a day of Shakespeare coming up, artists, photographers, musical rehearsals, writers meetings, open mic nights. Everything you could ever want in an empty shop at the bottom of Penglais hill here in Aberystwyth.
If I say so myself it's been a real Cinderella story, this shop was a messy disaster when we came in and with two weeks hard graft, late nights and plenty of elbow grease the dream team have made it somewhereto_ be anything really, and she does look good! We didn't work on it this hard for it to be empty until February so we want everyone to get involved and get creative, or sporty, or political, or whatever it is you want to be. Email us at restoreaberystwyth@live.com with your requests, or just a brief outline of your interests and talents for us create some kind of event for you. Or, even better, come in the shop and see us. It's almost guaranteed that there will be someone here all day, every day (that's just how perfect we are here.)

Our first booking is this evening! The universities 'Lets Get Physical' physical theatre society are coming in to do their freshers demonstration. This DOES mean copious amounts of moving around and risk assessing on our part.. But it also means, we've got an exciting evening of theatre for you to come witness. Demo starts at 7pm. Come in to watch, get involved, or just scope out the space for things you could do, negatives most certainly out weigh the positives.
Don't be a stranger.
