On Monday 13th March, Radio Sheffield will be running a news feature about the Dearne Community Arts’ Festival at 11.05 a.m. Don’t forget that we need to know what people’s involvement in this festival will be, so if you have any art you want to display… or knitting, sewing, crocheting or cross-stitch… or any creative writing, craft or other creative work you’d like to exhibit… or you want to take part in any performing arts (there will be slots for drama, dance, comedy, song, music etc.), just let us know! Check out the Dearne Community Arts’ Festival Facebook page for more information. The Festival is 1 & 2 September, but in order to plan effectively, we need to know contributors by 24th March.
On Friday 17th March at 2 p.m., there will be a meeting about training in construction for young people aged 16-24 at Thurnscoe Library. This would be ideal for someone struggling to find a job or course to suit – practical work in the local community will be offered.
