At Workout with Pride, we're all about promoting lasting health and vitality. That's why we're introducing "Pure Strength," a new class focused on enhancing strength and mobility while keeping the excitement of our other offerings. Age brings unique needs, and our bodies demand more focus on mobility and the improvement of tight areas. As we age, maintaining muscle mass becomes crucial. Strength training is essential for both muscle retention and the health of our bones. Our "Pure Strength" class is a deliberately slower-paced approach to our regular strength training sessions. We've carved out specific times for resting and refining movements. We're creating a space where you can concentrate on developing strength, mobility, and confidence, with our renowned flare for fun and inclusivity. This exclusive class is available for a limited number of participants, so don't miss out on your chance to join us in shaping a healthier future for yourself. Together, let's work towards a stronger, more resilient you.

BFI Flare is a yearly film festival showcasing the best new LGBT+ movies, shorts and documentaries. Full details of all showings and events are at their [website](https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/flare/Online/default.asp). This meetup event is for the festival **not a specific showing**! There are also a few panel discussions or talks, or Q&As with producers/directors or cast or others (sometimes alongside a showing). This placeholder event is here to announce it to the group and allow you to check out in time - many showings sell out a while in advance (especially the highlights and well-reviewed ones from other festivals). Most showings/events are ticketed and not free, but there are a few free ones and a few online. We've had one-off events in past years of this festival to watch something from it together and talk about it after. If you find ones that seem more interesting or relevant to the group, do please share them in comments below; am up for a similar watch-party of anything online if a few of us like the idea, e.g. using Discord. I'll also be looking for things to suggest from what others say/using the site, but don't rely on me to find the best ones in time! By the time the festival showings start many of the tickets will have gone. You'll see this event twice - once for the start day and once at the end date. The most bisexual representation comes from the piece "Lunar Sway" and then 2 short films; "The Fling in (When the Rainbow is Enuf)" and "Their Love Isn't Taught in Fragments of Us". There are other panels on adaptations too (see photos), and sometimes last minute tickets on the day(s) for some sold out screenings. There are [5 short films available to watch for free](https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/flare/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=five-films-for-freedom-flare26) during the fest as well. Please don't spoil storyline details for others in comments here\, and surround any spoilers you write in the Discord with '\|\|' \(use the **#lets-watch** channel, or **#chat** to invite people generally for planning around something). Here's an invitation link for our Discord if you haven't joined yet: [https://discord.gg/RDFmb3YGAu](https://discord.gg/RDFmb3YGAu) ⚫ How watching Flare videos online works: Once you've bought a ticket (or for a free-but-limited-tickets short), you can start watching the show anytime through the festival. Once you have started it, you have a few hours to finish watching it (what they could arrange to keep copyright holders happy about piracy risk); check details when purchasing. ⚫ Accessibility: English language videos have all had closed caption subtitles in the past, including descriptions of non-dialogue audio, and audio descriptions. Screen Talks, pre-recorded introductions, Q&As and events have closed captions. Audio description is not available on Chromecasts (yet).

****IMPORTANT UPDATE (posted 18th March)** Hi everyone! 👋 Excited for our British Museum meetup this Saturday! As mentioned, a kind member had generously offered complimentary passes for a paid exhibit, but following a couple of messages I’ve sent, I haven’t had confirmation yet if they’re still available. Just in case the passes aren’t available, we’ll still meet and enjoy the free galleries and collections - there’s so much to see and explore. Either way, it’ll be a fantastic outing together. I’ll update you if we hear anything new about the passes. Looking forward to seeing you all! **Event description:** **A member of the group has kindly offered 4 x British Museum complimentary passes worth £18 each. This covers the cost for one special (paid-for, no cost to us) exhibition. She will be at the museum at 12.45 to give a talk in one of the galleries, so we can meet earlier to make sure we dont miss her. ** How exciting! Join me and we can figure out which exhibit we want to see on the day! [We still need to book a free admission ticket, please book one for 21st March at 12.30 here.](https://ticketing.britishmuseum.org/14623/21432) Availability is obviously limited (it will be 4 people max including me) so please let me know asap if you would like to join and once you RSVP ‘yes’ please send me a pm to confirm you are attending so I can reserve your spot. **If you are not sure you can make it please don’t RSVP yes, let someone else who genuinely wants to join take this opportunity.** **no shows will be removed from the group** ☕️ We will take about 1 hour to go through the exhibit then we will go for coffee somewhere inside the museum or nearby.

Everyone welcome 😊

Important to note:

1. We typically socialise at cafés after the exhibit, nice, independent ones, not chains and not at pubs. If the event is late on a Saturday we go to a nice bar/pub for drinks after. This meetup is inclusive and everyone is welcome to join.
2. If you get there before everyone and you're not sure what to do or where we are, post a comment on here and I will let you know our whereabouts.
3. Once we go in we may separate, feel free to explore the exhibit by yourself, we don't have to be together. Some people like chatting to others while exploring and other people prefer to be with their own thoughts. You are welcome to express yourself and do whatever helps you feel free.

4. If you are late or if you’ve booked for an earlier or later time don’t worry just go in and you’ll find us inside. Keep an eye on the comments as I’ll be posting updates.

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
