Any mountain biking ladies in Midlothian, the local ride on the 7th of July looks really good. Our favourite bike mechanic, Joann will be there to check your bikes. (I think some skilz are required, so not suitable for mountain biking novices - like myself) Note to self: must get those MTB lessons booked this summer! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/belles-big -ride-2019-pentlan…

Putting feelers out for Midlothian Makers who upcycle...specifically fashion and accessories for all ages of humans and pets... Greening Gorebridge will be hosting an upcycled fashion showcase as part of the Midlothian Science Festival in October. If you are interested to know more please comment below, pm me or email jaimie.macdonald@gorebridge.org.uk. Thanks so much. Jaimie

Remake session at the Gorebridge Community sewing studio tomorrow morning. Maybe you have a sewing project you'd like to start, clothes you'd like to repair or alter, or maybe you just want to have a go on a sewing machine. We've got fabric to upcycle and equipment to use. Join us for a natter and a bit of sewing and you're guaranteed to go away with a smile. :)

Come and join us for some creative fun this summer! Please contact sam@gorebridge.org.uk to book your place.

Just a reminder that there is no official Wednesday cycle this week - I'm off to an active travel conference in Edinburgh.

Great event happening at Danderhall tomorrow.

Greening Gorebridge are so excited to be part of this brand new Made in Midlothian makers event!! We'll be there with our Clothes Repair hat on, so please put it in your diary to come along and learn to repair your favourite jeans, joggers and jumpers... To mention a few. See you on the 23rd June

Oh so fantastic!! Time for all countries to follow suit :)
