Psychology, Fish and Chips and a Shooting Range: This Week in Manchester

Manchester Electronic Collective Meetup group, set up some months ago, has closed. I never met with them, but I gather the emphasis was on house music and electronica in Manchester – both nights out and the production of the music. If people want house music nights, I’ve ran at least one on Manchester Nightlife to Off the Square. I’m planning on running more house meetups over the coming months. 

But for this week, Manchester Psychology Social Group meet again in Hinterland The theme for the night: Mindfulness. The NHS describes this as 'paying attention to what is going on inside and outside ourselves, moment by moment.' 

Sad times for Manchester food and music: Northern Quarter’s Hip Hop Chip Shop has closed their outlet. The team behind the iconic blend of old school rap and traditional British fish and chips are moving on, citing economic issues.

 

There is one more opportunity to try this out this Sunday. After announcing closure on the 6th this month, there hasn’t been an update, so I don’t know the timings exactly, but I have uploaded a meetup. Obviously, because there’s no meeting time, group members haven’t RSVPd. 

I mentioned Social MCR a few weeks ago, an online / in person social group. They’re meeting in virtual shooting range Point Blank, on Deansgate, on Thursday. I have been meaning to visit the bar, so who knows. Cocktail deals, target practice, meet new people. I still haven’t met with this group, so it would be interesting to try out. You could too.
