For any interested in performing, all slots are 7 minutes max. We platform all types of act (except bands), but **we** **do not tolerate racism, homophobia, sexism, misogyny, transphobia etc. We want to celebrate people, not cause harm.** Please be mindful of what you say and its impact.
For more info, please email bubblebathopenmic@gmail.com.

The night will kick off at 7.30pm and last until 10.15pm-ish.
The event is pay what you will, so that no one is prevented from joining, but we do have running costs (we pay for the sound technician & the Meetup subscription). Donations from those able to give are appreciated, so we don't end up out of pocket.
Join us to get your molecules jostling with excitement, inspiration and ideas.
And remember, if you like bubbles and baths, you'll love Bubblebath.

🔴🚶🏻/🤸♂️ HikeXercise 101! @ Surrey Hills, Betchworth via Box Hill
🤸♂️ A fusion of mindful hiking and full‑body functional training that turns the outdoors into your gym. We use the landscape itself as part of the workout: inclines for power, open spaces for strength circuits, scenic pauses for core work, and natural intervals that keep the body guessing!
This isn’t just a hike, and it’s not just a workout. It’s a rhythm: walk, breathe, train, recover, repeat. Surrounded by fresh air, greenery, and a group energy that makes you push a little harder than you would alone!
🎦 [HikeXercise](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWMnxRyjS8m/?igsh=amw0bm9paGxjZ2ly)

As we hike, we’ll pause at scenic or strategic points to perform a variety of exercises. The twist? We’ll complete a total of 101 reps of each exercise over the course of the hike. That means breaking them into manageable sets at different stops, keeping the energy high and the vibe fun.

This trail is a meandering path through the woods. There will be some overlooks and a couple stops at the creek as well as time along a waterway. It will not be a fast paced hike.

Optional lunch after if there is an interest.
