Becker Exhibition – Opening & Mike Holtom Award

23rd July 2017 By Nicky Stainton

Thursday August 3rd

You’re invited…
to the Opening Bash (Private – not very- View if you prefer posh) of the INSPIRED BY BECKER EXHIBITION 2017. 
Not only will we refresh you with some bubbles or softer soda style bevs, and delight you with over 100 hung works to drink in, but the Mike Holtom Award for abstracting the landscape, new this year, will be announced/awarded for the very first time. 
The photo shows Mike on our Twitter page banner, beside one of his paintings, with a glimpse of another underneath. 
 
Mike, abstract painter based in Southwold, was a lovely man, and worked hard on the committee to help run the show these last 5 years. Sadly he died earlier this year, so the society, together with Mike’s family, decided to introduce this award to celebrate his work and the man himself. Some of Mike’s work will be part of the show. 
 
Please turn up at St Peter’s Church, (of Mediaeval Doom fame), Wenhaston, IP19 9EG, between 6 and 8pm on THURSDAY AUGUST 3RD.
We’d love to meet you.

Women war photographers

3rd May 2017 By Genevieve Rudd

Sunday 20 August
Cost: £6/£5 W&BA members

Not so much a walk as a listen and look – in fact the only walking involved will be around the fascinating Museum at Thorpe Abbotts, a small complex of restored wartime buildings which were home to the 100th Bomb Group of the 8th US Army Air Force. The Museum is a treasure trove of military and personal artefacts, stories and mementoes. It is the setting for presentations about two extraordinary women photo-journalists who visited this area and documented these tumultuous years. Margaret Bourke-White was America’s first accredited woman war photographer and Lee Miller documented activities on the home front and then became a correspondent for the American Army in Europe. There will be time to look around the collection and share reflections at the end. Keen cyclists can meet in Harleston and cycle the 5 miles to Thorpe Abbots, as so many servicemen did when cars were rare.

Meet at 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum , Common Road, Thorpe Abbotts, Dickleburgh IP21 4PH (or Budgens car park, Harleston at 2pm if on bike)
Refreshments available in the cafe

Tuesday 1 August 2pm – 4.30 pm + return bus journey on the Anglia 88a.
Cost £6/£5 W&BA members (under-12s free) + bus fare

A guided walk through one of the most picturesque landscapes in England in the company of a local expert on the Southwold Railway. Rediscover what remains of this famous narrow gauge line.  Is it true the train was so slow you could gather flowers while it was still moving?  Where was Blythburgh Station?  How were building challenges overcome?  What remains of Walberswick Station?  Where did the line cross the Blyth?  What remains of the railway in Southwold?  What is the China connection?  And what plans are there for the railway’s future preservation?  All will be revealed, and as a bonus along the way, we’ll hear original anecdotes and poems from local poets (courtesy of the Suffolk Poetry Society) in celebration of the railway.

Meet at Holy Trinity Church car park, Blythburgh IP19 9LP
Total distance 3.5 miles. No refreshments but cafes in Southwold at the end of the walk

Stories of the Otter – Observing the Invisible

3rd May 2017 By Genevieve Rudd

Saturday 29 July 10.30am – 12.30pm
Cost: £6/£5 W&BA member

At the Suffolk Wildlife Trust Hen Reedbeds Reserve on the Blyth estuary, citizen scientist and artist Meg Amsden will lead the walk in the footsteps of otters. We will wander from the car park along the sea wall via Les Tarver’s hide and then on to the John Minihane hide. Stopping at places where otters may have left their tracks and traces, we will immerse ourselves in otter country. With views over the estuary, flowers in profusion and birds to watch from the hides, we will feel our way into another realm. Writer Melinda Appleby will read otter poems and Meg will tell otter stories, talk otter science, and ask for stories from the participants.
2 – 2 ½ hours with lots of stops.

Meet at Suffolk Wildlife Trust’s Hen Reedbeds Reserve car park, off A1095 Halesworth Road, Southwold, IP18 6SH
Total distance 3 miles
