Replacement Football Stand |
Shap Memorial Park
The Parish Council has been successful in obtaining a grant from the Cumbria Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund towards the cost of a replacement football stand on the Memorial Park. The Parish Council itself will be providing roughly 50% of the funding and the Aggregates Fund the other 50%. |
At present the project is proceeding through the planning application stage with a decision expected imminently. Once planning permission is obtained it is hoped to get on with the work quickly. However, there will be some delay as, although quotations for replacements have been obtained, an order could not be placed ahead of the planning permission |
Contemporary Craft Tour - KNIT 2GETHER
Fri 9 th – Sun 11 th May 11am – 5.00pm FREE Admission
Ruth Lee will be creating new works for the tour that draw on the expertise of traditional knitters of the Borders area, Cumbria and the Dales. Her aim is to move beyond the functional to create an art form that is not simply an imitation of past work but is something fresh and individual.
Biddy Rychnovsky ’s work explores themes which challenge common perceptions of knitting and its traditional associations with garments. She explores ways in which knitting can be combined with other media and experiments with material unrelated to knitting. Her most recent work combines knitting with DNA research and light in wall-mounted pieces.
Biddy will be present at the exhibition.
