The Harley Open Exhibition is a biennial competition<br />

Susan Isaac and Joanna Whittle - but entries are not<br />

hobbyist, experienced or just starting to make art,<br />
The Harley Gallery would love to see your work.<br />
The only restrictions are that artists should be from<br />
within 100 miles of the Gallery, and entries must be<br />
original, wall based art, made in the last 2 years.<br />
This year, the Gallery expects to show around 150<br />
artworks in the exhibition, and as an added bonus<br />
there are prizes which include a top prize of £2,000.<br />
Entries to the Open Exhibition can be submitted<br />

further ‘real-life’ round of judging taking place in<br />
early August. Entries cost £10 each, and artists can<br />
submit up to two artworks.<br />
The Harley Open Exhibition will be on show between<br />
6 August and 23 October. The Gallery is open<br />

A new swimming scheme has been launched by<br />
Gedling Borough Council to help people in the<br />
borough to be more active and enjoy swimming.<br />
The Swimming Passport scheme is open to Gedling<br />
residents aged under 16 and over 65. These age<br />
groups are able to swim at dedicated weekly sessions<br />
for free at Arnold, Calverton and Carlton Forum<br />
leisure centres.<br />
The Swimming Passport scheme was developed as<br />
part of the Gedling Borough Council’s priorities to<br />
improve the health and well-being of residents, as<br />
well as reduce health inequalities across the borough.<br />
Swimming has many physical and mental health<br />
benefits as well as being a vitally important life skill.<br />
Gedling Leisure centres have a 25 metre pool at both<br />
Arnold and Carlton Forum leisure centres, and an 18<br />
metre pool at Calverton leisure centre for swimmers<br />
to enjoy.<br />
One of the residents who will benefit from the new<br />
scheme is 91 year old swimmer, Arthur Beal (pictured<br />
above) who regularly attends Arnold Leisure Centre.<br />
Arthur will be saving around £120 per year if he<br />
attends the sessions created for the new scheme.<br />
Eligible residents will need a valid Gedling Leisure<br />
card to take part. Places on these sessions are<br />
limited so booking in advance is recommended and<br />
can be done online at gedling.gov.uk/swimmingpassports<br />
or by contacting the Arnold, Calverton or<br />
Carlton Forum leisure centres directly.<br />
