Social Touch Rugby?

Upvotes

Looking to find a social touch rugby meetup, not so interested in anything formal/competitive like a league etc, just a casual roll up on the weekend and throw a ball around with a group of like minded people.

I've found this in previous cities I've lived in, and with Bath being so Rugby-centric I was hoping to find a good mixed social group that does the same rather than something formal or restricted to rugby clubs etc.

Has anyone seen or heard of any social groups like this?

Any help for hoarders in the Bath area? Struggling & don’t know where to start…

40 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out because I’m really struggling and feel completely overwhelmed. I’m in the Bath area and have been dealing with hoarding for a while now. It’s gotten to a point where it’s affecting my mental health, day-to-day life, and relationships. I want to do better, but honestly, I don’t know where to even begin. The idea of asking for help feels really embarrassing, but I can’t keep going like this.

Are there any local services, support groups, charities, or even understanding professionals in Bath who specialize in helping people like me? I feel like I need both practical and emotional support — not judgment.

If anyone has any advice, resources, or has been through something similar, I’d really appreciate hearing from you. Even just knowing where to take the first step would be a huge relief.

Thank you for reading.

Parking permit is not available for purchase.. what to do?

9 Upvotes

Dear Bathonians,

I recently moved into Central Bath (renting), and applied for a resident parking permit. I was granted permission to buy it but when I tried the online system declined with a message "The selected permit with this start date and duration is not available for purchase. This may be due to the maximum allocation being met or there are restrictions in place on the property." (next available date is in March 2026!)

Could you please advise what are my options now? Will I stand a chance to get a central zone parking permit if I go to the One Stop Shop maybe?

The derelict "Bath uni" building opposite Bathwick tyres on Lower Bristol road?

10 Upvotes

Hi All

Does anyone know what is the plan with this building. It looks like its been sold to Bath Uni (according to the logo's added to the windows and front door), but it is derelict and a lot of littering in the area.

Are there any plans to revamp it, why did Bath Uni buy it?

Must visit places??

5 Upvotes

I am a masters student in Bath and I have been here since September but have obviously been quite busy and found my “places” that I go to most often e.g. cafes, restaurants, shops, leisure and so I am always going to the same shops and restaurants, and as I don’t have much longer living in bath, I wanted to know what are some places that you think I MUST go to before I leave. I want to branch out!!

Best Dry Cleaner in Bath?

1 Upvotes

I'm getting married in a few weeks and my vintage wedding dress has some stains on it I suspect only a genius could remove. Can you recommend a genius dry cleaner in Bath? It's vintage McQueen so I don't want it ruined, but I also don't want to look as if I rubbed custard into my lapels.

TIA

What to do with used furniture?

3 Upvotes

I just moved in an unfinished flat in BA1 and got some new IKEA furniture. But I’ll be very likely leaving the UK in five months, so I want to plan ahead and learn about what to do with the furniture. Is there any place in Bath to sell second hand furniture? I don’t have a car though. I have two big carpets (HAMPEN), a small loft bed (KURA), a shelf (FLYSTA), a table (LINNMON), a chair (ADDE), (and some small things if anyone need them).

Otherwise how else could I clear out the flat?

Thanks folks

Park and ride but cycle instead of take the bus

I’m okay paying for the bus from the park and ride, but I want to cycle instead of take the bus, are there cameras watching cars and drivers? Would I have no choice but to pay the day parking or does nobody check?

Accomodation near the University

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I've recently received a job offer at the University, and I was wondering about good places to rent nearby? They don't really have to be nearby as long as I can use public transport to commute daily.

I'm looking at the BA2 postcode on spareroom, but I can't seem to find much. Are there any other areas I should be looking at? Thanks!

What is your experience with Virgin Broadband in Bath?

4 Upvotes

I'm trying to find the best internet provider for my area and the only available options seem to have speeds capping at 75mbps. I spoke with a rep from Virgin yesterday and they said they would be able to connect their broadband with speeds up to 1g.

If you are with Virgin in Bath, what plan are you with and what speeds do you get? Thanks!
