The Poole parkrun course is 5K in length and is a very flat two lap, anti-clockwise route around the large lake. It then finishes with a lap of the cricket pitch/cycle oval. We are lucky to have good paths and also use the park roads (closed to vehicles!). The course will be marked with signs and km markers.

MINISTRY COMEDY PRESENTS DAN MITCHELL – LIVE AT THE ROUNDHOUSE! Dan Mitchell headlines the launch of Ministry Comedy’s exciting new night at the Roundhouse Ministry Comedy is opening its doors on Saturday 8 June 2013 at the Roundhouse Hotel, Bournemouth, with an exciting line-up of comedians, headlined by Dan Mitchell, finalist on ITV’s “Show Me The Funny”.

Full support will be provided by Angela Barnes (winner of the BBC New Comedy Award), Larry Dean, (Bath Comedy Festival New Act winner), Tom Glover and Adam Money. Headliner Dan Mitchell has been described as “Welsh, epileptic, and very hairy. He is a highly creative and original thinker with an obvious love of language, animals and cake.” Also performing at Ministry Comedy’s opening night will be Angela Barnes, 2011 winner of the BBC New Comedy Award and “a brilliant new comic with an excellent on stage persona. Her acidic tone of delivery and deftly crafted, punchy material make for a very funny set” (Trevor Lock). Supporting Dan and Angela will be Tom Glover, a West Dorset comedian who is “"likeable, professional and hilarious. Funny and original material that would charm any audience” (Dorset Weekender) and Adam Money, who has been described as a “Cornish Rhod Gilbert!” (Buffalo Comedy Club).

Your compere for the evening will be Larry Dean, who won the Bath Comedy Festival New Act of the Year 2013 and is “genius with the audience…knows how to warm you subtly with a bit of cheek, and then blast you into a bit of insanity” (Stagewon). This is your opportunity to see some of the finest comedians around!

Live at the Roundhouse will take place at 8.30pm (doors 7.30pm) in the Beaulieu Suite at the Roundhouse Hotel, 1 Meyrick Road, Bournemouth BH1 2PR. Tickets are £10 in advance or £12 on the door. (We’ve Got Tickets: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/220240)
