Making a Monster Cycle Map of Portsmouth…

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009. Published in Bikes & Cycling, Local Events by

Portsmouth Cycle Forum invites you to “stick one on them”, on their giant cycling map this coming Saturday May 2. It is at Cycle Hampshire Event at the Gunwharf Quays from 10am to 4pm.

The Forum invites all who ride a bike, or who would like to, to stick dots to show the best and the worst things about cycling around Portsmouth. The picture cyclists create together will highlight what to change first, to make cycling better in Portsmouth. Cyclists can add what one thing would make cycling better in Portsmouth.

The monster cycle map is part of Cycle Hampshire 09, launching on 2 May at Gunwharf Quays. Visitors can try-out different types of bikes for free, watch demonstrations, pick up information and a copy of the official Cycle Hampshire, Summer of Cycling events booklet.

John Holland Chairman of PCF says, “The Forum is the voice for more and better cycling in Portsmouth. The monster map will show us where to focus our action, and provide live views to present to the Council. We want more people to safely hop on their bikes and discover the benefits of cycling locally. Over half of all car journeys are less than five miles long. By switching to an easy thirty-minute bike ride, you will save money, find new places, shrink your carbon footprint and get fit too. Portsmouth Cycle Forum is working hard with the City Council to create the best possible cycle routes and facilities. Portsmouth Cycle Forum seeks the backing of all local cyclists who may feel there is nothing they alone can do to improve things.”

PRIMARY – Extended & Improved

Friday, January 27th, 2012. Published in Art, Craft & Design, Features, Photography by

We have some great news about our PRIMARY phonography exhibition (find out all the details here) that we can now announce:

- The deadline for submissions has now been extended to Sunday 4th March. We have had some incredible submissions but want to set aside more time to make the exhibition something really special.

- The competition is now open to up to 10 submissions from each individual. With the ability to capture many photos on your phone over the next two months we we want you to not feel restricted to just three. The same rules apply about the photos conforming to compositions using the primary colours though. If you have already submitted feel free to send more photos over as and when you please.

- The exhibition will be hosted by Albert Road’s own Bonzo Studio who are also partnering up with us in the creation of the exhibition space. More news on this soon!

- Finally, we will be running a competition as part of the exhibition where the best three photos submitted will win some incredible prizes. We will be announcing the prizes available very soon but got to say, these will be the best prize haul we have ever offered.

- We will be putting together a poster for the exhibition that will be on sale on the opening night. The poster will feature some of the best submissions and all profits from the sales will go to a local charity (details to follow soon). Due to this we need to say that any photos submitted to PRIMARY will involve you giving us permission to use them for commercial purposes, if you do not want your photo used in this way simply let us know via email.

Well, that is it for now! We really hope to drum up as much coverage locally for PRIMARY in the next couple of months so if you could Facebook/Tweet/+1 about the exhibition we would really appreciate it. We would love this exhibition to be a real reflection of the whole population of Portsmouth with everyone taking part and feeling involved.

It’s going to be a Strong Movember – Closed at £725

Friday, October 28th, 2011. Published in Community, Features, Local Events by

Righto chaps, it’s time to clean shave your boat race and get that mighty moustache on the grow in support of Movember for The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. For 30 days of November you can help support and raise awareness through selflessly parading your top lip for charity.

You can sign up yourself, as I’m sure many of you already have, or you can join the Strong Island team and seek out sponsorship as a team. Through the Strong Island Movember page you can ask people to join the group, make donations, upload photos and post updates via the MoSpace page, Facebook and Twitter.

Head over to www.mobro.co/StrongIsland if you would like to get involved and grow a Strong Moustache to help raise awareness, or simply head over to www.uk.movember.com and sign up to personally raise money.

The funds raised in the UK support the number one and two male specific cancers – prostate and testicular cancer. The funds raised are directed to programmes run directly by Movember and our men’s health partners, The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. Together, these channels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programmes in line with our strategic goals in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship and research.
