IT’S GYM LIFE, BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT
Te excuses are wearing thinner and thinner to get your bum into gear as Te Gym Group welcomes its newest addition to the group in the middle of Norwich’s city centre. Where location has been an issue before (too far from the office, home, or the gravitational pull of your sofa), the Gym is located in the prime spot that Habitat used to inhabit on London Street, a perfect space to nip to during your lunch-hour. Where price was the big hold up, it’s no longer a consideration, as the join-up rate of £10.99 a month, which works out at about 35p a day (much less than that Mars Bar you’re salivating over, ahem), with no contract to tie you in for a year. Chances are that once you get using one of the 170 pieces of equipment and make your way towards the bikini body you’ve been desperate for (even you fellas, we know you love a two-piece), you’ll find yourself a Gym member for years to come. Join the Fitness Awards’ Budget Gym of the Year now, and greet 2013 when the only thing wide about you is your smile!
MUSIC: IN FOCUS 2K11-12
As mentioned in the blurb in what’s keeping this region’s BBC team busy, one of the events that makes up the spectacular programme from the BBC Music Video Festival is Music: in Focus 2K11-2K12, an exhibition of music photography. Following on from the success of last year’s, which saw snapshots of artists blown up to breathtaking proportions in the Forum’s Atrium space, the folks that made it happen - us lot here at Outline and the BBC - are taking submissions for the event’s second year. Held this year inside the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library for an extended period of two weeks (10th-23rd September), we’re looking for photographs that simply have the two connections of Music and Norfolk. Whether the Norfolk tie is that you, the photographer, lives in Norfolk, whether the subject of the picture comes from Norfolk (i.e. a picture of a local band), or it was a moment passing through our region, all these entries are valid. It can have been snapped on a camera phone, to a professional SLR – if it’s a good shot, we want to see it. To enter, look out for the details and form on

BRICKFEST 2012
If there’s one pub that wears its pants on the outside of its trousers – by that we mean they’re superheroes, not that they’ve suffered a trouser malfunction in the toilets after one too many bevies – it’s Norwich’s most celebrated music pub, Te Brickmakers on Sprowston Rd. Despite charity events all through the year, Brickfest is the annual event where the pub comes out, all guns blazing in the name of raising a buck or thousand for a local good cause. Although that’s the main aim of the day, the money raising efforts are cleverly disguised by giving you the bargain of the century – for your £2 ticket entry, you get to see 36 bands across 3 stages over 12 hours, including much loved favourites like Pure Passion, Dead Red, Lee Vann, Jack Pout, Te Voice’s Bill Downs, Wicked Faith and many, many more. As always, the day wouldn’t be complete without requisite bouncy castle (just you try and keep us off it), face painting, BBQ and the epic raffle, with prizes that money just can’t buy. Mark your diaries now – Brickfest 2012 is held on August 27th of the Bank Holiday weekend, and it’s more than worthy of your support.
