Founded in 2012 by Caitlin Limmer, The Bearcat Running Club is a supportive group of runners aged between 70- and 90-years-old.

Bearcat say the ethos of the club is "the people come first, the running comes a very close second," with seven different ability groups making it a perfect place for any prospective runners.

Some runners go on to participate in races like The Turks Head 10k Fun Run, which will soon be taking place on Saturday 9 June.

The group meets at 8:30am every Sunday at The Turks Head pub in Twickenham. Runners must first register online here.

Following on from recently directing the sold out world premiere play reading of 'Shakespeare's Women' at The Globe, Jude Kelly takes us on a journey of exploration of some of the great female characters in The Bard's works.

Who were the real-life inspirations behind these characters, what do they teach us about gender politics in 16th Century society, and how contemporary are the themes and challenges that these women faced?

From Juliet to Desdemona, Portia to Ophelia, Lady M to Kate Shrew , Jude will demonstrate the huge emotional power and complexity of these famous female roles.

The event starts at 7:30pm at The Exchange in nearby Twickenham, with tickets starting from £13.

Whether you're a mod, rocker, hippy or skinhead, all are welcome at Teddington Constitutional Club.

Merseybeat, surf, Motown, cheese, rock, ska and just plain pop are all on the menu at the club this Saturday. 

Come join a friendly (if slightly worn out) bunch of party people of varying ages, who are old enough to know better, for some reasonably priced drinks and old school vinyl.

The night kicks off at 7:30pm until midnight. Tickets are £5, cash on the door only, with prizes handed out for the best outfit of the night.
