ISO preston arsenal invincibles cup

Hiya! A bit rogue but my boyfriend travelled from London to see the Preston Arsenal match and on his way back saw the invincibles cups on social media. He was bummed to have missed out and I was wondering if anybody had one that they’d be willing to part with? It would make his day! I’m happy to pay incl. postage! Thanks so much!!

(If this post breaks the rules please delete, sorry!)

Loud bang around Avenham

Did anyone hear a loud bang around Avenham Park just now? Fireworks have been going all night but this was like something else. It shook our room.

Walk-in-clinic Preston

Hello, I’ve recently had some unexpected medical issues and was wondering if there’s a walk-in medical clinic in Preston. I’m also open to driving a bit if there’s a good clinic outside of Preston.

Karaoke bars

I’m organising a Christmas doo with some mates. Long story short:

Is there any pubs (other than the golden cross) in Preston which do karaoke on a Friday night?

EDIT: there is 28 of us. I looked at booths at level near the bus station but they can only take 20 max

Minecraft anyone? (18+)

I've been living in Preston for about 6 months now and work from home so struggling to make new friends (39m). I am also a bit of a hermit lol.

Was thinking of setting up a Minecraft java server and discord for Prestonians only.

Would anyone be interested in this?

Update: Java test server is live and bedrock server is in the works

Discord is taking shape

Message me if you want an invite to the discord.

Update: Java and Bedrock cross play server is now live (still in testing)

Moving soon

Hi, Me, with my young family 👨‍👩‍👦 moving to Preston soon. I'll be working in Royal Lancaster Infirmary hospital. I know it's a bit far, but we don't wanna live in Lancaster as it'd be too small town for us.

What would a good area for us to move, considering my work place daily commute and a safer for young family?

Thank you!

Booths win

Just been to get the Booths Christmas book and treated ourselves altogether some stollen bites and some nice bread while we were there.

Whilst they're not the cheapest it's good to see that in a world of aggressive shrinkflation they're consistent in the quality without shrinking the portions or reducing the quality.

How much is it to park at Winckley Square on a Saturday?

Will be nipping into Preston this weekend and plan on parking in Winckley Square so I can check out the Town for a bit.

Just curious as to how much it costs per hour on a Saturday afternoon before 5pm-ish?

Do the machines take Debit card?

Cheers!

Does Bamber Bridge/ Clayton Le woods home for many Ukrainian families?

During the school run in Clayton , I hear a common foreign language. I am too introverted to ask anyone about this. But I could certainly feel a sense of community among them as well and assumed they may be Ukrainians. I may be very wrong.

Looking for a trusted, inexpensive hairdresser

I moved to Preston recently and I need to find a good hairdresser. I have a trouble just trusting one so I need to ask for recommendations :D

When I look online I mostly get those expensive places show up. I only need to cut my hair and fringe and I don’t want to pay £60 for that.

My previous hairdresser was well skilled, gave advice about what cut would be good for my hair type and most importantly knew how to cut a fringe well. She washed and cut my hair for £35 and I’m looking for someone with similar skills and price.

Thanks!
