Let me start by wishing you all a very Happy and<br />
Prosperous New Year. I’m certain that one or two<br />
of you decided to tie the knot! In this issue we have<br />
put together a few ideas, with the help of a few local<br />
businesses, to help you along the way.<br />
Children’s Christmas Drawing Competition<br />
I was quite sad to see the pictures taken down from<br />
our exhibition in Stony Stratford Library. What a<br />
fantastic array of talented young people there is out<br />
there! It’s not all over yet though, as our four winners<br />
are now our official ‘Artists in Residence’ for the year.<br />
This means that we’ll be sharing one or two pictures<br />
from them. If you’d like to read a little more about our<br />
artists please turn to page 24.<br />
Artists in Bloom<br />
Last year we ran our first art competition for adults<br />
and after a lot of thought and a little pressure from<br />
one or two people we have decided to do it again.<br />
The competition will be open to anyone aged 16 and<br />
over. The theme will be ‘my local area’ and we will<br />
once again link up with the In Bloom teams. For full<br />
details turn to page 28.<br />
