Don’t forget the church outing to Scarborough on Saturday 9th June. Deposits of £5 are needed by the end of this month. We will be leaving church at 9 a.m. and leaving Scarborough about 5 p.m. for a fun day out – travel is by coach.
Looking further ahead, don’t forget the Dearne Community Arts’ Festival on Friday 31st August and Saturday 1st September at Dearne ALC (11 a.m. – 4 p.m., both days). This is a great opportunity to champion creativity and celebrate community with loads of arts on show (paintings, photography, crafts, woodwork, sewing, embroidery, tapestry, paper crafts, 3D printing etc.), performances on stage (dance, music, other performing arts) and workshops where you can get hands-on with different artistic endeavours (make your own pirate crafts for kids, make bath bombs and soaps, make your own jewellery and much more). We’re pleased to have received some funding from the Ward Alliance and Awards for All, so we hope to have additional workshops featuring Pit Mouse (virtual reality film clips) and circus skills as well. Ian McMillan (the Barnsley Bard) will be running a creative writing workshop for adults on the Friday afternoon (photo courtesy of Bob Dickinson) and Thurnscoe Harmonic Male Voice Choir will be giving a concert on the Saturday afternoon, so it really will be a great community event.
