SUMMARY:Bristol Branch: Should we keep an elected mayor for Bristol\, or revert to the committee system?
DESCRIPTION:In May 2012\, Bristolians voted by a narrow majority to introduce an elected mayor as a way of running their city. This May\, after a vote in the City Council\, Bristolians are being asked to vote in another referendum on whether they wish to keep the elected mayor model\, or revert to a committee system. \nOn Thursday\, 28 April\, Bristol ESU are hosting a debate between two former mayoral candidates: Geoff Gollop\, Conservative Councillor for Westbury-on-Trym and Henleaze\, who lost to Bristol’s first elected mayor George Ferguson in 2012\, and is now in favour of the committee system\, and Sandy Hore-Ruthven\, former Green Party Councillor\, who lost to the sitting mayor Marvin Rees in 2021\, and is in favour of retaining the mayoral model. \nThe meeting will be held in the Apostle Room of Clifton Catholic Cathedral\, Pembroke Road\, BS8 3BX. \nThe event will start at 7.45pm\, with doors opening at 7.15pm. There is an entrance charge to cover costs of £2 for members\, and £5 for guests. \nFurther information from Nigel Currie\, Chairperson: nigelcurrie29@gmail.com

SUMMARY:ESU Bristol talk: ‘About Britain – a journey of 70 years and 1\,345 miles’ by Professor Tim Coles
DESCRIPTION:Tim Coles\, Professor of Social History at the University of Bristol\, will talk about his book ‘About Britain – a journey of 70 years and 1\,345 miles’. \nIn 1951\, the Festival of Britain commissioned a series of short guides they dubbed ‘handbooks for the explorer’. Their aim was to encourage readers to venture out beyond the capital and on to ‘the roads and the by-roads’ to see Britain as a ‘living country’. Yet these thirteen guides did more than celebrate the rural splendour of this ‘island nation’: they also made much of Britain’s industrial power and mid-century ambition – her thirst for new technologies\, pride in manufacturing and passion for exciting new ways to travel by road\, air and sea. \nArmed with these About Britain guides\, historian Tim Cole takes to the roads to find out what has changed and what has remained the same over the 70 years since they were first published. From Oban to Torquay\, Caernarvon to Cambridge\, he explores the visible changes to our landscape\, and the more subtle social and cultural shifts that lie beneath. \nIn a starkly different era where travel has been transformed by the pandemic and many are journeying closer to home\, About Britain is a warm and timely meditation on our changing relationship with the landscape\, industry and transport. As he looks out on vineyards and apple orchards\, power stations and slate mines\, vast greenhouses and fulfilment centres for online goods\, Cole provides an enchanting glimpse of twentieth and early twenty-first century Britain as seen from the driver’s seat. \nEntrance: members £2; guests and visitors £5. \nLocation: Apostle Room\, Clifton Cathedral\, Pembroke Road\, BS8 3BX \nFurther information: Nigel Currie\, Chair on 07837 835750 or email: nigelcurrie29@gmail.com
