What a fantastic social today we had!
We were worried at first as both of us as the organisers were struggling greatly with fatigue and exhaustion but we still ploughed through.

Not only having an amazing turn out but also an absolute blast with wonderful discussions all around (including thoughts and ideas for future events) we could not be more pleased with how we left today! Tired but well worth it!

So we thought we would leave you off with a photo of a wonderful origami bird a member made today! 🥰

Quick update on our policies!

We have decided to have our events strictly 13+ for the foreseeable future. Under 16s will still need a responsible adult. We have made this decision for the comfort and safety of both the community and organisers.

Thank you for your understanding.

We may not be able to go ourselves as we will be running the social during this time, however we want to show our solidarity and encourage those who can attend to go this Saturday 💜

In light of the recent tragic event, we invite our community to come together to grieve and in solidarity.

We will be holding two vigils on Saturday 1st of August; one in Telford town centre Pavilion at 1:30pm, the other in Shrewbury Town Square at 5:30pm.

For safety please no open flames, there will be L.E.D candles available.

Thank you 🌈✨️

It's BANNER TIME!

One of the first things we thought of doing when brainstorming for QOC was making a nice, slightly off putting banner to display when doing our events! This is the first stage of playing operation, and it's been pretty seamless (just a little sewing joke for you)

And what better reason to start than being graciously invited by Pride Wrecsam to walk in the march, this Saturday at 12pm! Thank you so much for such a nice opportunity so early! Hope to see you all there!

The socials are back! (they never even left)

With new branding we need to have a new poster and here it is! After the nightmare it is trying to figure out how to use cow print as a background, we've kind of got it!

So what can you expect? Every month we will be having 2 socials hosted at the Oswestry Climate Action Hub where people can get together, make friends, and craft. All around a wonderful time!

We will be making Facebook events so that the dates are easily remembered!
