We would like to invite you to the first meeting of this group on Wednesday 25 October from 7:30-9pm at the Reading Association for the Blind on Carey Street near the intersection of Castle Hill. There will be tea and biscuits.
If you are unable to make the meeting, but are interested in knowing more or becoming active in this effort, we urge you to contact safestreets@bsana.org or liz.herbert@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk for more details .
To note, there is already an on-going Neighbourhood Watch in the BSANA area west of Russell Street- and if you’d like to know more about that, again, please email either of the above addresses for more information.

Tai Chi
Time: 2:00pm – 3:00pm.
Venue: Walford Hall, Carey Street
Bangasumnida: Greetings!
New Tai Chi classes are every other week.
Body & Brain Yoga and Ki Gong is rooted in Korean Taoist tradition which develops the full potential of the brain, eliminates stress, and revitalises the body. Through physical training we release deep tensions, strengthen and detox the body, and develop flexibility. This allows our bodies and minds to become happy, healthy and peaceful. The classes are focussed in Yoga, Ki Gong, Meditation and Vibration and combine East Asian healing and energy philosophies.
These classes are for young and old, the able and the not so able. The aim is not to become super fit, or to gain the perfect physique but to simply focus on what is really important: your health.
We are hoping to host these classes on a long-term basis, but we’ll need a good attendance to keep them running. So get excited and bring a friend!
For BSANA residents, we are reducing the £8 per class to just £3!
Be quick and register by emailing BSANA at taichi@bsana.org
Clothing: comfortable, come as you are!
We look forward to seeing you there!

Tai Chi
Time: 2:00pm – 3:00pm.
Venue: Walford Hall, Carey Street
Bangasumnida: Greetings!
New Tai Chi classes are every other week.
Body & Brain Yoga and Ki Gong is rooted in Korean Taoist tradition which develops the full potential of the brain, eliminates stress, and revitalises the body. Through physical training we release deep tensions, strengthen and detox the body, and develop flexibility. This allows our bodies and minds to become happy, healthy and peaceful. The classes are focussed in Yoga, Ki Gong, Meditation and Vibration and combine East Asian healing and energy philosophies.
These classes are for young and old, the able and the not so able. The aim is not to become super fit, or to gain the perfect physique but to simply focus on what is really important: your health.
We are hoping to host these classes on a long-term basis, but we’ll need a good attendance to keep them running. So get excited and bring a friend!
For BSANA residents, we are reducing the £8 per class to just £3!
Be quick and register by emailing BSANA at taichi@bsana.org
Clothing: comfortable, come as you are!
We look forward to seeing you there!

Time: 7:45pm – 9:45pm.
Venue: Meet at the BSANA Noticeboard on Baker Street
We very excited about this idea. We are starting a new Supper Club in the Baker Street Area and everyone is welcome to join! The idea is very simple, every couple of months our friends and neighbours Laura & Josep from Pop-up Reading will be designing a menu based on one of our resident’s life experience, they will let us know the theme but final dishes will remain secret, so you will get to discover flavours and your fellow neighbours at the same time.
To show you how it will work they are starting with themselves as guinea pigs with a menu called Abruzzo to Veneto, which tells the story Laura’s Italian roots.

Join jelly artists in a family workshop for BSANA residents to create your own lantern for a very special parade with Santa taking place in Reading Town Centre on Saturday 3rd December.

In this workshop, you will use willow and tissue paper to create a lantern. Refreshments provided by Pop-Up Reading.
After the workshop you will be invited to parade on a short walk from Jacksons through the town which takes place on Saturday 3 December at 5pm leading Santa back to his bus.
Jelly is an energetic charity championing the creative arts. We have played a strategic role in Reading’s cultural life since 1993 – enabling art to appear in unexpected places and creating opportunities for people to look on and join in.
