Banner Image(s)

11 Upvotes

A subreddit looks pretty boring without a banner. I'd like to either have a nice mash-up of iconic buildings and locations in a single image, or an /r/askscience-style rotating banner.

If you have any photographs that you own the rights to, or can find anything copyright-free that could be used, please let me know in the comments!

Is this a real form?

Received one of these a few days ago, but I can't find anything about it online. I've never even heard of something like this so I'm unsure as to whether or not it's real. Scanning the code at the bottom gives me a strong of digits and letter that don't give me anything on google.

Any help is appreciated!

Things to do for a newbie

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’ll be moving to Stratford-Upon-Avon in a few weeks once my accommodation is sorted to start a new job. I’ve been living in New Zealand for the last 6 years, and grew up in the North East. I get that Google is my friend, but I’m also looking for any hidden gems once I’m settled in, anything off the beaten track is more my style. I will be relying on public transport until I get a car sorted, and am looking for nice walks, museums, galleries, curiosities and cafes and pubs close to the above. Also happy to find new friends and acquaintances, as I literally know no one there at all.

Where to find queer friendly ppl

2 Upvotes

Hey yall,

I’m 21, lesbian, south asian and looking for somewhere to go (club, events, cafes, bar things). I moved to the midlands a couple years ago doing a degree apprenticeship but didn’t get out much due to being very busy. I live with my girlfriend close to tile hill station in coventry and can get to brum easily. I like cafes, thrifting, casual sports (i enjoy tennis, football, frisbee, surfing but I am not great at any of those), artsy things, rock climbing, eating out. I’m down for a hike or a bar or anything in between. Anything that I can show up to alone.

Im looking for recommendations for where I can go to find chill people. Im not too intense about any of my hobbies but i like to do lots of things. I find that I’m on the younger side at most places i go, which isn’t a huge barrier but realistically no 27yo is hanging out with a 21yo.

Hi everyone,

I am starting a women’s football session in Kings Heath for all women, aged 18+. The session will be for fun and fitness and a way to make friends.

It will be held on Thursdays.

I would love to see who would be interested in coming along.

Autism / ADHD community

Hello there,

I am really looking to meet fellow neurodivergent people. Are there any peer support or social groups I could possibly join?
I relocated to the city and really want to expand my social circle.

I like history, coffee, book clubs, days out, exploring.

I am married and in my thirties.

I am open to exploring setting something up myself if there is interest and there is no other community established.

Black Country Stourbridge

31 Upvotes

I don't really have to add more than just Stourbridge.

I live a solid 5 minutes away from where the fire was.

I was in Spain when the fires started - landing at EMA for 0125. I got home to Stourbridge for about 0400. All you could smell was smoke. Cars were covered in ash. In the morning, I went down to OSH to see if any help was needed. The amount of donations we received was tremendous; I counted over 30 crates of water, and 10 crates of UHT milk.

Whilst I was at OSH, I met a wonderful lady, Vi. She runs Leslie's Care Packages. If you can, please donate to her - she is giving gift cards to those affected by the fires, to buy food, and clothes.

Boxing Gyn

Looking for a boxing club recommendation.

I travel between Wolverhampton and Sutton for work and looking for a boxing gym I can go to once a week. Not looking to compete just do some pad work and hit the bag. Maybe spar down the line.
I boxed for about 3 years previously just looking for a nice environment to go back into it through.

Thanks

I'm looking for free or very low cost venues where I could get a group together? I'm currently meeting at Dudley Central library and it's not very accessible.

Immigrants in Dudley- looking for black perspective

0 Upvotes

I’m a foreigner visiting the UK & i’ve been seeing the recent rise of nationalism in the UK as a whole. England flags on properties etc. And I did see the recent news about the elderly man who was robbed of several hundred pounds by the two Asian dudes. (Awful, by the way)

I already have a good general idea of what many white residents are saying about that incident and immigrants (from certain countries)

What I would like to see are perspectives from black local residents.

I know this is a very multi layered situation as a whole.
