Newsletter - August 2003
Welcome again to the Beds and Bars newsletter
Wow, there is some much happening at the moment it is really difficult to know where to begin!
With the whole of Europe bathed in glorious sunshine and the new football season about to kick off we must be in the middle of August and here in the UK that means..
Hostel & Bar News
Come and join in the fun at Europe’s biggest street party. Every year over a million people flock to the streets of Notting Hill to gaze at the floats, wiggle to the scores of massive sound systems and soak up the true flavours of the Caribbean. Sunday is traditionally Children’s Day with the party really taking off on the Monday.
All five disciplines of carnival; Mas (costume), Steel band, Calypso, Soca and Static Sound Systems, are celebrated in this two day musical extravaganza. Check out the excellent Sancho Panza and Good Times sound systems or buy a map and scour it to catch some big names playing for free! Carnival sets London on fire in a multi-cultural blaze of Caribbean spirit.
And St Christopher's Shepherd's Bush provides the perfect base to revel in this great occasion. With Belushi's open each night until 12am offering some great deals on drinks and food plus our special offer of 3 nights from £45 you would be foolish not to BOOK YOUR BED now !
EDINBURGH FESTIVAL IS IN FULL SWING!
Edinburgh has been packed full for this years annual festival. With still over two weeks left to run you will not be caught short for finding things to do!
Why not pop in to Belushi's on Market Street and watch the performers parade right pass you as you enjoy a cold drink and a bite to eat! If your luck we may even have a bed available for you too!

You will be spoilt for choice in Newquay next weekend with a whole host of things happening including an action packed beach rugby tournament at Lusty Glaze Beach.

The event is open to all the family and can include mixed teams of young and old, men and women. The tournament starts with team registration getting underway at 3pm with the activities getting underway at 4pm. There will also be live music and barbeques in the evenings and on Sunday, as the weekend comes to a climax, there will be a late fireworks display.
And then there is the British Bodyboard Championships 2003 being held on Fistral Beach until the 25th August. Catch all the action as the bodyboarders vie for the £1,000 top prize!

HOPE was founded in 1994, the Year of the Family, to assist Handicapped, orphaned, poor and exploited children. Working mostly with volunteers, we ensure that your donations go directly to help needy children. We now assist projects in over 20 countries including the UK and pride ourselves on their personal nature, targeting our help to individuals and small groups of people. Interpub and HOPE have joined together as part of their 10th Anniversary celebrations to raise funds for street children and those affected by conflict.
It is our aim, with your help to raise £20,000 for this worthy charity. So please give generously. Collection boxes can be found in all of our venues. Also keep an eye out for special fund raising events throughout the year.
Enjoy the sun! Catch you again soon.
Happy Travels!
