Swaffham Rotary Club President’s Corner It is 21 years since watercolour artist Malcolm Whittley, and a group of fellow Swaffham Rotarians with an interest in art, organised an exhibition in Mundford, selling paintings to raise money for charity. Over the years the exhibition has moved to Swaffham and expanded into a month-long Festival, showcasing Norfolk creative talent, educating the public, and continuing to raise money for good causes – over £90,000 in total so far. P rogramme Exhibitions Saturday & Sunday 15th & 16th October The Drill Hall, Sporle Road 10.00am to 4.00pm each day Swaffham Camera Club Photographic Exhibition Monday-Friday 24th-28th October The Green Britain Centre 10.00am to 4.00pm Embroidery inspired by ‘Capability’ Brown by East Anglian Members of the Embroiderers’ Guild Festival Exhibition and Sale of Works of Art and Craft Friday 28th October (preview evening) Saturday & Sunday, 29th-30th October Swaffham Assembly Rooms Events Friday 30th September 7.00pm Nicholas Hamond Academy Peter Stevens – Car Design ‘The Tools and the Tracing Paper’ Wednesday 12th October 7.00pm George Hotel Tony Bramley FRPS – Photography ‘The Russians are Coming’ Thursday 20th October 7.00pm Assembly Rooms Julia Stafford-Allen – ‘Private Gardens on Public View: a History of Garden Visiting Tuesday 25th October 7.00pm Swaffham Community Centre The Monuments Men - Film directed by and starring George Clooney Swaffham Visual Arts Festival 2016 Friday 30th September to Sunday 30th October Patron: The Baroness Shephard of Northwold DL Patron: The Baroness Shephard of Northwold DL www.swaffhamvisualartsfestival.co.uk Organised by The Rotary Club of Swaffham Festival Sponsor The recent collapse of a window at Oxborough Hall led to a chain of events that meant that an exhibition of embroideries, inspired by the 300th anniversary of the birth of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, had to be cancelled. Fortunately, the embroideries are to be included in an exhibition of work by East Anglian Embroiderers’ Guild members to be held in the last week of October. They will be on display in the Green Britain Centre (next to Waitrose) as part of the Swaffham Visual Arts Festival organised by Swaffham Rotary Club. Looking at the Programme for our Visual Arts Festival this year I am struck by the range of venues that we have in Swaffham. We start at The Nicholas Hamond Academy on Friday 30th September with the illustrated presentation by Peter Stevens on Car Design. We then move to The George Hotel on Wednesday 12th October for Tony Bramley’s prize-winning ‘Suprematist’ photography, followed at the weekend (15th/16th) by the Camera Club Exhibition in the Drill Hall. Thursday 20th October finds us in the Assembly Rooms for Julia Stafford Allen’s guide to garden taste and design through the history of garden visiting. The following week the garden theme continues in the Embroiderer’s Guild Exhibition in the Green Britain Centre. Our film – ‘The Monuments Men’ – is in the Community Centre on Tuesday 25th October. Finally, we return to the Assembly Rooms for the Festival Exhibition, preview evening on Friday 28th, with viewing on Saturday and Sunday. The range of venues shows that Swaffham does not lack resources. The range of interesting events in the festival programme shows that Swaffham doesn’t lack resource. We hope that our Festival patrons are equally resourceful! 16 Tai Chi Has been found to be beneficial for: Helping relieve arthritis Improving balance & posture Tones muscle Improve mobility Promoting good health, Physical and mental wellbeing and being fun Our classes are relaxed, friendly and fun – and a good way of meeting new friends… Contact us on: 01760 723102 barbara.smith58@yahoo.co.uk NEW CLASS: Taster class on 20 th September 1.30pm at Narborough Community Centre.
