Looking to join a run club to meet new people as just moved to the area (27M) or even open to suggestions for good gyms that offer classes with a good community feel.

Hey - are there any developers who are based in / near Winchester? I have a business idea that is in early stages and need a tech partner to take to the next level - plan is for app first and then will likely need web. Want to work with someone locally ideally, who might want to do this as a side project initially.

Moving to Winchester for university, want to continue training at the amateur level for mma, what would be the best gym to train in?

All the way up from Hilliers Haven (also a dump), along the gravel track all the way alongside Winnal Moors where the information board is. It's a mess, little more than a silt filled ditch when this is supposed to be a chalk stream, a valuable habitat for countless species.

Is anyone bothered?

My car is coming up to 12k miles, any recommendations for a place to take it for a service? Thanks.

Hello. Use to frequent the Royal Oak Pub Quiz well over a decade ago on a Thursday evening and wondered if it is still a thing.

It used to be space aged with buzzers etc… back in the day. Wonder if it is still running and worth attending? Is it still Nick the bald chap running it?

Days are getting shorter and unfortunately it’s usually dark by the time I am ready to go for a run.

What are good places to run in the dark in Winchester?

Ideally without much road traffic, decent ground so I don’t fall, a bit of light (I have a good torch, but it can be a bit scary when it’s pitch black) and a lap of at least 1 or 2 km (I usually run around 10 to 15km, but happy to do laps).

Thanks Reddit!

Hi, I'm at university and I've just started my placement down in Fareham. I've looked everywhere I can think of to rent accommodation for 10months and everywhere seems to be sold out. Specifically looking for somewhere on Wickham road if possible as I don't drive and the job I'm working on is based on there. Budget is £250 a week but would prefer to spend as little as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For context, my partner and I are looking to buy our first home in Winchester. We’ve fallen in love with the city and are looking at two bedroom terraces within walking distance to the shops. The top two contenders are in Sussex Street and wharf hill.

Something that has become apparent with these types of properties is that they don’t have off road parking, but are instead eligible for one resident permit and one visitor permit. Since these terraces seem to make up 90% of the city centre it seems that this situation must be very common across the city.

This is problematic for us as we are a two vehicle household and dropping down to one is not feasible. However, my partners car will only be parked in the city in the evenings and at weekends as he uses it to commute to work every day.

Does anyone have any experience owning two cars in the city centre? Is there a way to make it work? It says on Hampshire council website that the permits are managed via MiPermit, but I can’t for the life of me find any information on the rules of use online. It would be really useful to hear from locals what their general experience is, whether they just pay for on street or car park parking for their second car, if they have one, and whether finding parking spaces after work is a significant problem for them. All information/advice/comments welcome!

Some specific questions: Can the visitor permit be used for our second car, officially or unofficially? Does anyone have any experience/information on parking season tickets for their second car, or any other tactics to avoid paying full price parking for their second car? Is it difficult to find on road parking spaces after work? Is it difficult to find parking spaces in council owned car parks after work (which I think are free for resident permit holders)

Thanks! X

Hello, I will be visiting Winchester in early October. I have few questions,

1. What are key point if interest around the place? I am amateur photographer so looking for some photogenic locations.

2. I will be at work during hours of sun. What are some happening & social places for the evening? Pubs preferably.

3. What are fun things to do here?

I am in yr 13 and currently applying to unis! I am from Oxford so the transportation to Winchester is great and I was wondering anything from the following:

• nightlife for Winchester uni

• nursing in Winchester uni

• overall students opinions

Hey, anyone know of anyone hiring in the SO23 area? Looking for something in retail or with food like maybe a barista or something (really don't wanna be a waitress or do mcdonalds unless there's literally nothing else) I've applied for some things and haven't heard anything and the only place I've worked was a green house back in the states (I'm an international student :P) Anyone have any suggestions? :)

(I've tried indeed and looking on Google obv.)

Just trying to learn more about them before I take their class.

Hi, Im a 22 year old guy who just finished studying architecture at Portsmouth, I did my placement here in Winchester and I've just moved back after finishing uni but don't know any good groups to play ttrpgs or board games with in the area. I really enjoy both though and want to keep playing them while I'm here so does anyone know any good groups or places to find other players? I'm not at uni anymore so can't join wargs unfortunately 😕

Looking for somewhere I can go to get a simple shoulder massage for when I’ve got really bad tension headaches. Preferably not places that only have long or expensive sessions.

Hello, we are a group of psychology researchers from the University of Kent, UK. It would be a huge help if anyone from Britain who is interested would fill out our quick survey (18+ years old only) about your views of refugees.

Fill out the survey here: https://universityofkent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4U6y8pi1se8YjrM

We are posting here because we hope to collect responses from British participants with various political perspectives and backgrounds. Please let us know if you would like a summary of your responses once the data collection is complete.

The survey takes ~7 minutes to complete, and we are happy to respond to any queries or questions. Please private message us to avoid giving away the point of the study to others. 

Thanks for your time. 

Edit: The survey is now closed! Thank you very much for your time.

Hi everyone! My name is Selina (s2026962@ed.ac.uk), I’m a student from the University of Edinburgh. I’m now working on an international research project where l'll bring the voices from the UK, and make sure they're heard! 

I aim to collect 400+ participants in a week so I’m calling for help from all the communities. Every opinions are valued!

The study is about online platform regulations, such as ads and algorithms used by the platforms. I believe we all have experiences with disliked ads, misinformation and forced choices sometimes, that we have nothing to deal with it. Therefore, we wish to bring this issue to the table and we’ll report to the world - whether online platforms should be regulated and how. Together we can make CHANGES to create a better online environment in the UK!

If you’re interested and having some opinions, please fill in this 5-10 mins survey! 

We're looking for:

•   UK residences 🇬🇧
•   Age above 18

Your participation is anonymous and voluntary, we will not analyse data in a way that can be traced back to you. You can also withdraw from the study at any time. Your data will be SCIENTIFICALLY used only! 

If you found it interesting, please do share it with your friends and families! Your help will mean a lot to me! Thank you!🫶
