Life Histories
We must say a big thank you to those who took part in the Life Histories project, especially those whose lives were recorded: Jack Wright, Hazel Fairall, Rose Tanner, Dorothy Davis and Derek Barnfield. Those who helped with the recording: Katherine Hallewell, Rebecca Starr, Julie Cigman and Elizabeth Oxley. Those who helped clean and staff the shop: Anne Lewis, Bill Hams, Susie Walker, Sarah Kazlova, Margaret Horton, Clare Sheridan, Dorothy Hodge, Rose, Hazel, Julie, Dorothy, Derek and Jack. Sarah for all her work editing the film, Elizabeth for organising the Playback Theatre performance, Stroud Valley School for their support in sending over 100 pupils to see the exhibition and all those who came to the press launch at the beginning of October. After the success of the project (see previous newsletters), all those involved are invited to a:
celebratory meal on Tuesday 29th November 2pm at Star Anise café, Gloucester St, Stroud.
Generation Swap
This project is about bringing together young and old people to share experiences and knowledge. Young people from the Open House project (based at Painswick Inn) are starting to get to know some Fair Shares members who’ve agreed to be part of this ‘Generation Swap’ project. So far we’ve gone walking and horse riding and will soon enjoy cooking and eating a meal together. The project is being filmed and edited in conjunction with those involved.
Pupils from Wycliffe School want to help with volunteering in Stonehouse, if you have any suggestions please contact Chris.
