Our meeting on March 7th, was very much tuned in to our speaker’s creative ideas. She brought in a range of her artwork (cards and glass) and showed photos which stimulate this work.
These showed us a great range of IDEAS – from silhouettes, shadows and reflections to distortions and movement.
There were some very unusual 360 degrees photos – 52 taken from the same spot and stitched together. The one/s taken from St Pancras were striking.
Her latest travels included Australia’s Opal mines.
Not being a photoshop fan, she only uses one camera and one lens, so apart from a little injection from Picasa! she makes it all seem very straightforward. The overall impression we were left with, was her use of Colour and Shape. Plenty of Ideas here for us to try out!
North Luffenham Parish Council met on March 14th 2016 and the DRAFT minutes are set out below.MINSmarch14
North Luffenham’s Annual Parish meeting will be held at 7-30 pm on Monday April 11th 2016 in the Community Centre. All residents of North Luffenham are welcome. The Chairman and Clerk/Responsible Financial Officer will be in attendance to answer any questions concerning Parish Council affairs. The agenda is shown below together with the Chairman’s report which will be considered at the meeting.
A national initiative has been launched asking local authorities to clean and tidy up their Public spaces as part of the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations. I am pleased to say that North Luffenham plans to respond to this by having a “Clean for the Queen” weekend on April 16th & 17th to clean and tidy the Oval Recreation ground.
This is being organised by Charles Cade. Any residents of North Luffenham who wish to help with this should meet Charles at the cricket Pavilion at 10-00 am on either of those days
North Luffenham village day will be held on Saturday June 11th 2016 and details are as set out below in a note from the Chairman of the Parish Council
Please see below a schedule showing the names of the 8 North Luffenham Parish Councillors and their responsibilities
For those of you who have thought recently, “h’mm the Pavilion is looking a bit grubby” or have mentioned things could do with a tidy up, now is your chance to help to make a difference.
The Cricket Club have obtained sponsorship for materials from Natwest, & is undertaking a “Get Stuck In” weekend from Friday 1st April to Sunday 3rd April. Obviously “Many Hands Make Light Work” and so we would welcome help from anyone who would be willing to assist in any way (for any period of time over the weekend) to get as much done as possible.
The intention is to spruce up the pavilion with a clean up and do some general maintenance – painting and repairs etc to make the pavilion and the area surrounding it a more pleasant place to be.
The pavilion is a village facility, able to be used by various different organisations within the village, and a clean up will make it a more welcoming space for anyone who wants to use it
If you can help out, please contact 07787557511 for further details and we look forward to seeing you over the weekend.
