Young People Kick-Start Ideas Wall

Yesterday's session at the hall saw painted hands and ideas from local members of the community start to spread across the wall of the hall as part of a new group artwork.

Set to continue and evolve with each creative consultation session (see 'Meet and Make' below), the inside of the old hall is being transformed by your ideas and artwork, and will be available to contribute to at the village party on 22nd August, so come along and make your mark!

Meet and Make - Have Fun with your Creative Side!

Two new creative sessions give you a chance to meet new people over a cup of tea and make decorations for the hall party....

Monday 11th August 2008 5 to 6.30 p.m

Wednesday 13th August 10 to 11.30 a.m

All sessions at the old village hall, everyone welcome. Bring any coloured cloth or paper that you have lying around and join project artists James and Anna to make some bunting for the party (Enford Village Hall party - Friday 22nd August from 7p.m).

Meetings for Enford's Young People

Feedback from the earlier sessions told us that a lot of you want to see more activities for the younger members of the community, maybe leading to the Youth Club being re-started in the future.

To help give the young people more say, 2 more dates have been set up by James and Anna -

Wednesday 23rd July 7 to 8 p.m.
Monday 28th July 7 to 8 p.m.

Come along and let us know what you would like to see happen in your village; add your hands and ideas to the walls of the hall and become part of a community artwork.

Enford Community Consultation Project - Open Meetings

Open meetings for local residents to have their say about what happens in the new village hall were held on Saturday 21st and Wednesday 25th June at the old hall.

These meetings were the first part of a Community Consultation Project, facilitated by Anna Sexton and James Aldridge of Open to Arts and Creative Ecology. The meetings took place as a result of funding received by Open To Arts from Kennet District Council.
