Family Days Out In Beds & MK
Go Have An Adventure!
Wherever in Bedfordshire & Milton Keynes you are, there are plenty of ways to spend the holidays and make the most of the British countryside, in fair weather or foul. Here is a selection:
There is to some, a stereotypical image of book clubs as talking arenas for bookworms, or gaggles of girls discussing the latest ‘chick lit’. Which, of course, to an extent they are, but there are many more reasons for joining a local reading group.
A reading group can, for many, offer an excellent route into an established local social network. Offering the opportunity to meet people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, book clubs often also give you the chance to meet people with fairly similar interests, making it an excellent way to get out and meet new people.
Many groups have a focus towards a certain genre or variety of fiction or non fiction, although some are broader than others. Being given a reading list can help you to extend your usual reading, as you will need to keep up with the set texts if you are going to participate in the group, and while many groups decide on titles as a joint decision, the chances are some of the choices will not be your usual favourites. Reading of course will help you to broaden your horizons and vocabulary; the discussion and insights
from other readers give this aspect a whole new dimension.
Reading groups are also an excellent way to help improve your communication skills. Discussion will hopefully naturally improve your listening skills, as you navigate your way through others interpretations of the reading material. Speaking in a group is much less formal and structured than the classroom, but will help you build confidence in talking to new people, and to speak to a wider audience.
Finally, if you have any ambitions to write your own novel, reading groups can be a fantastic resource, giving you a window into others opinion’s, what for them makes a good or bad plot or characterization, and perhaps help you to mature the seed of your idea.

Running clubs
Running has become a more popular sport
Are you thinking of joining a running club? Perhaps the lingering thoughts behind your New Years Resolution, or shedding some pounds pre holiday? Running clubs have become more common in recent years, and can be found
throughout the county should you be inclined. Running clubs are not just for the fitness fanatics in lycra among us, but also offer a diverse and friendly membership. Joining a club is an
excellent motivational tool, allowing you to adopt a slightly different mindset and take the hobby slightly more seriously.
It also means company and security. Many runners enjoy pounding the streets alone, but company can spice up a run, providing the motivation of someone to pace yourself with. If you are in training for a specific event, say a marathon or Race for Life, then you may be able to team up with another runner who is also competing. If you are simply looking for a fitness activity, the motivation of not letting down a running partner should keep you going; but if you are competing, a group can add a little competition to help you push yourself! They also offer a good opportunity for socializing. Some groups do organize social events, group runs and other such friendly activities.
Finding a partner to run with is also ideal for those nervous of running alone. Both male and female runners can feel unsafe, especially when the evenings draw in again, and using a group can offer safety in numbers, and access to well thought out, properly lit routes.
Another important aspect is access to health information. Running can be a very simple activity, but if you are serious, then coaching advice is crucial to ensure you work up to your goals and avoid injury. A club should also be able to give advice on finding a local physiotherapist, sports massage specialist or any other health professional you may need.
Clubs in Beds & MK:
• Ampthill and Flitwick Flyers www.affrunningclub.org.uk

Of course, one of the perks of living in either Bedfordshire & Milton Keynes is our proximity to London, with all sights and activities our capital has to offer, and with the West End in close reach of most of the county, there are plenty of shows, musicals and attractions to make the most of, as well as a vast array of professional tribute acts throughout the year.
If however you prefer to support the local community theatre, or simply prefer something a little closer to home, then here is our guide to the theatres in Essex and a taster of forthcoming productions and events:

Paul said: “Micro-cement is such a versatile product and is a total alternative to tiles. No grout is needed and the seamless 100 per cent waterproof walls are totally free of plastic. Feedback from clients is that the bathroom is so much easier to maintain, and it is good to know there is little impact on the environment.”

There is no limit to the different looks for bathrooms with some opting for a traditional look to suit their homes while others favour the minimalist look. One of the latest design trends is to combine micro-cement and glass with stylish slatted walls, using woods like birch which is very strong and waterproof. The fitted furniture can be made in-house to any colour to complement the micro-cement.

“Renovating a bathroom correctly takes planning and forethought and is always installed with patience to avoid cutting quality.

The use of micro-cement means a new look is easy to achieve with a change of colour or texture, so it feels like a new room again with little impact on the environment.”
