What's On Out There? The Bill's Mother's Listings Service - July 24
Emailed out once a month, updated regularly. FFS, regular readers! Forward to Friends, & Subscribe!
Welcome to the July What’s On Out There listings service for The Outdoor City.
This page is updated every few days with out there events: if you come here to find things to do, or if you work for an organisation with events to promote, please could you sign up as a full subscriber? It’s £4 of pocket money (or a fraction of your marketing budget to reach thousands of readers) every month, less if you go annual. See the list below of the lovely organisations whose members have already signed up.
This month I’m trialling a few news links on this page, so please come back soon for updates of all kinds, and drop me a note at bbobillsmothers@gmail.com if you know of anything we should all know about.
How To Use What’s On Out There -
Save the page address, or use the free Substack app to automatically refresh the post every time it’s updated (online only) when something new comes in. There’ll also be a new email arriving every month if you’d rather keep track that way.
If you’re a photographer or visual artist of any kind covering anything to do with the outdoors of the Outdoor City, get in touch as we’d love to see your work here.
If you’re a promoter of events relating to outdoor stuff, email us at bbobillsmothers@gmail.com with: Date / What It Is / Online Link.
If you’ve been a trial visitor for a while, is it time to take out a paying subscription to help make all this happen?
A few news links & updates at bottom of post.
