Enchanted woodland takes shape in ArdenHallPark
__________________________________________________ __________

A magical event which will transform Arden Hall Park into an enchanted woodland for the evening will take place on Thursday 7 July – and local people are invited to get involved by taking part in two flag workshops being held in the Arden Hall woodlands in June. There they can make their own colourful flag of woodland life or create an animal for the spectacular ‘enchantment banners’.

‘Fabulous flags’ workshops
Sunday 19 June, 2-5pm

Wednesday 29 June, 6-8pm
Arden Hall, Plantation St, Accrington

The event is one of many taking place this summer as part of the Land programme, co-ordinated by Mid Pennine Arts, which encourages people of all ages to take part in creative activity led by professional artists and, in so doing, make a positive difference to their surroundings.

During the weeks leading up to the event, local schoolchildren and community groups will work with artists to create new stories about the woodlands, the hills and their inhabitants, working from local folk tales and stories of the people, animals and plants of Lancashire.

They will design and create a new world of animals, plants and people, represented as anything from 20cm-tall twig-puppets to human-sized legendary white deer, and including magical moths and clouds of bats and swallows. The new stories and ‘characters’ will then combine in a free public performance, including music, dance and drama, to be staged in the Park at 6pm on 7 July.

About 30 children plus assorted parents and grandparents turned up to last nights flag workshop at Arden Hall (where were you A-B?).

The main event takes place next Thursday which is a culmination of three week's of work done by four schools plus the two public workshops. There will be a procession of all the flags and banners, accompanied by some music that has been specifically written for the event in some music workshops.

We were at the "new intake night" at Moorhead unfortunately. Pity this couldn't have been sometime during the school holidays, but then again we'd probably be in Carnforth.

Will there be any Fairies around? If so, I'm sure Garinda would be interested.

There won't be any fairies around - unless Garinda would like to join us!

Are we sure that this doesn’t constitute Homophobic behaviour in the eyes of our over zealous politely correct country.

As the only open' fairy' on here, [believe me there are many more] l am quite suprised at being 'dragged' up as the token puffda in yet another unrelated thread.

When l tried to explain in other relevant threads that homosexuals aren't all child abusers, or quite able to serve in the Armed Forces for Queen and country, l came in for a lot of stick?

Trust me self depeciation is my forte, and if l couldn't take it l wouldn't dish it.

Was a bit suprised at who commented, thanks for the solidarity Sister!

Thanks Red for giving me the nod so l could answer in this thread.

Look out soon all you small minded biggots, because you never know l might just reveal in my blog, like l have to a few people on here, how l'm not even gay!!

Love and kisses to you all from my little box some of you seemed to place me in.

Tealeaf don't worry as soon as a thread comes up about Thatcherite, balding speccy four eyed gits, l'll be there to bring you into it, he he he.

Oops! Sorry - and so soon after we'd become friends. In future I will stick to baiting Acrylic-Bob and leave you alone. At least he doesn't have hissy fits and take karma away from me.

Anyone want to debate the meaning of art to get me off the hook with Garinda?

garinda · 01-07-2005, 20:33

I didn't take any karma off you Gayle.

I have the balls to sign it when l do, ask Tealeaf.

Hissy fit? See it's the patronising sterotyping by yourself l found so suprising thats all.

All that after l applauded your 'Vagina' at the James Street Working Men's Club.
