Dean Smith giving me a cheque for £100 from START

As well as this cheque for £100 START has also contributed an A-board and a box of 18 plus paints. Many, many thanks to START for their support.

Vin's a real sweetie!

Vin was so sweet, previously the week before an article was published about the Heritage Project with this photo on it. There was no picture of me, nor was I mentioned even though I was there and the journalist had spoken to me too. I had a little moan, but it wasn't the end of the world. But a week later I open my daily Evening Echo and this is what I see ' Our success in getting this off the ground is down to one person, our researcher, Lisa Horner... and you can read the rest, just click to enlarge. I really can't take all that credit - but it was a wonderful gesture - I was very touched - bless you Vin.

Sponsored by START

A big thank you to START www.supportthroughart.com for sponsoring ArtCafe, they have contributed £100, this is how I can afford the prizes for the competition. I will be putting their sign and web address on all further literature.

Tony Guyon

I met Tony Guyon today, we had a really useful meeting. First of all I didn't know that Northlands Park Fun Day is on 24th June, this could be a day where we show the community art, Tony even said he would provide a stall for it.
After further thought I said perhaps we could have a 1st 2nd and 3rd prize in age categories, I certainly know some artists who may want to be judges.
The schools may well want to get involved with this, and it is also an opportunity to advertise the other events.
He reminded me how hard it can be, even in the summer, but he could provide me with a list of contacts.
Friends of Nevendon Bushes do Bat Walks, well this could be something we intertwine with
'The Headless Ghost Tour.'
Looking forward to my list of contacts, this will help me get the ball rolling.
