Windows on Thury-Harcourt

Twinning members and artists Carolyn King and Philip Clayton may be in France at the moment enjoying the good life, but they have responded to a previous plea (see blog entry 11 October) for help with a design for the "Window on Seaton" community art project. In this, individuals and groups in Seaton are decorating the hoarding around the old Racal site by painting views from windows and doors, each one showing some aspect of Seaton. Our Association, to be different are doing a view of France, and Carolyn emailed the above working drawing. The splendid somewhat bucolic scene shows an aspect of the wine harvest. Watch this blog to follow developments.

Community Activity Fair 18 October 2008

The Association was one of forty groups represented at the Community Activity Fair at Seaton Town Hall. The display boards were revamped for the occasion with an emphasis on our last visit to France and our range of activities. We generated a lot of interest, and a number of people expressed interest in joining the Association. Thanks to those who gave up their time to look after the stand and answer queries from the public

Two Events - Community Fair and Windows on Seaton

Advance notice and a plea for help

On Saturday 18 October there is a Community Activity Fair sponsored by the Town Council in Seaton Town Hall between 10 and 3 where about 40 community groups active in Seaton will be there to tell the world what they do. We were there at the 2007 fair (photo) which was was highly successful, and will be at this one as well, publicizing our events, our website and hopefully getting more people interested in joining us. To add a little interest there will be a quiz similar to the one at our last AGM for the public to do with a prize of the fizzy plonk left over from the boules events.

We need help in manning the stand. If anyone can spare an hour or so, it would very welcome. Even if you cannot help, still come to the fair. It is free, highly worthwhile, and you are bound to find something of interest. You can watch the majorettes, have a game of chess if you want, or who knows, even win some fizzy plonk

The second event starts on the weekend of the 25 October when the Town Council is organizing a community art project when a series of "views from windows" are being painted by individuals and local groups on the hoardings around the Racal Site in Harbour Road. We have sponsored a window. The particular theme is "Views of Seaton", however the Twinning Association as gained dispensation to do a view of Thury-Harcourt instead. At the moment, we have no artist lined up, and will have to use the "resident" artist so if anybody out there fancies themselves as an artist and wants to have a go, let us know,

If you can help at either event, please contact Avis, Margaret or Clare or email the Association as soon as possible
