Residents from all over Torbay are invited to contribute to a shared effort to light up the Bay for Christmas. All participants will get a welcome pack and be added to a map, the map will then be released for others to visit all the houses and shops that are joining in. There is even an opportunity to receive free lights, pop ups and decorations for your display. Think creative; you could use the windows of your flat, house, business, school, nursery, car, camper van, shop or the garden, driveway, roof, front door, or even your outside walls. Displays could include words from favourite carols, poems, hymns, you could paint on windows with hand prints, or light up the garden, get crafty with recycled items, it could be a dance, puppet show, drama piece or projection, even musical festive cheers (just ask the neighbours first). The opportunities are endless.
This group is a place for people to share ideas and workshops on crafting and making.
Let’s socially connect whilst physically distanced and make Torbay glow with festive spirits and light.

Join the Facebook group Torbay Christmas Trail

To register to be part of the trail please head to https://torbaychristmastrail.webador.co.uk/

All participants will get a welcome pack and be added to a map, the map will then be released for others to visit all the houses and shops that are joining in.

Support local businesses or loose them it's that simple

Since we started we have given away approx 2580 badges to bands, charities, musicians, events etc we love helping you all out when we can.

But because of the current situation we are struggling and we need your help if we want to continue. If you have received free badges from us we want to ask if you could just make a small donation to help us keep going. You can do so via paypal.

Or if you want to order some badges that would be a great help too

Http://www.badges4bands.uk to order
Or
https://www.paypal.me/badges4bands to donate

We hate to ask for the help but we sadly have no choice.
Thank you all for your support and we hope to continue to provide you all with quality badges and affordable prices

Sent in:

A| awkwardly informing someone that you are different in a way which has a title and may explain some of your personality trates.

U| unsure of why you don't understand when everyone else does, being unsure of what has been asked or what your meant to be doing.

T| trying so very hard to fit in a box that is completely the wrong size and shape for you despite everyone around you fitting in perfectly.

I| is it just me, am I the only one scared to do this seemingly normal everyday thing, why am I terrified and how am I going to overcome it.

S| sorry for whatever it is I have done wrong, no I don't know what it is or why your angry and upset.

M| maybe, I just want to be accepted, understood and given the chance to show that the differences you see and I struggle with arnt all bad and some are truly incredible.

6 letters created to label me and millions of others not because we need a label but because you do. You need it to be able to give compassion and understanding to someone who is not the same, someone you see a strange or odd. But with time I may learn it is not a weakness but a power, a super power that not all can see, understand or believe.
AUTISM IS THE POWER OF THE FEW UNIQUE AND INCREDIBLE WHO FIGHT EACH AND EVERY SECOND TO SUVIVE IN A CRAZY AND CONFUSING WORLD THAT YOU CREATED BY WE WILL MOLD AND SHAPE TO SOMETHING BETTER, MORE BEAUTIFUL AND MORE MAGICAL.

Excuse the c**k shock but I'm rather ashamed of my face after Sunday's November shave off!
So I'm basically on the look out for some new stickers to go on my guitar! The single rock garden one that i have had on it for ages needs some company. So if i have played or i am due to play at your venue then please hook me up!
Also it's open mic at Peaky Blinders Bar this evening. They are on the look out for new acts and its been bloody busy the past couple weeks so a perfect way to g progress your music and make some opportunities!
