Car Boot on the Campus

The start of the famous Campus car boots started its season on Sunday the 11th April to a dull but dry day, however this did not prevent the early birds from setting up well before time nor did it stop the bargain hunters turning out to catch the pick of the offerings from some 35 car boots and stalls in attendance.
Not a bad turn out for the start of the season which will no doubt build up as the monthly events progress.
By 9.30 the sun had broken through adding a pleasant feel to the event which obviously relayed itself to the public judging by the increase in the number of people turning up.
Out on the patio between the sports hall and the cafe', refreshments were taken at the outside tables giving a picnic atmosphere which come summer will be almost carnival.
Judging from the number of bulging bags many people found a bargain which no doubt will be repeated at the next events and those following so it looks like a lot more work on the day for the indomitable Jackie Hall (but she can do it)
The Campus can cater for many more stalls and cars so pass it on.
The next boots will be on the first Sunday of each month from 9am-1pm set up 8am
Cars £6.00. Car & Trailer £8.00
For bookings contact reception 0114 284 4444 or, you can turn up on the day but you take your chance on a space.

Hullaballos 1st birthday party event

"Havoc and Mayhem at Hullabaloo's"

Well what did you expect when a couple of hundred kids were let loose at Hullabaloo's first birthday party event.

To celebrate its first birthday Hullabaloo's premier children's indoor play centre based on the Campus at the bottom of Pack Horse Lane, High Green held a free open event taking in the whole of the campus building and grounds with a huge craft fair and activities.

The day was blessed with brilliant sunshine favouring the outdoor mini fair, climbing wall and cycle doctor, whilst the newly revamped secure inner quadrangle resembled a teagarden rather than a kindergarden where the kids were able to indulge in play activities whilst parents partook of a dose of culture in the art galleries current exhibitions and craft shop, browsed the numerous craft stalls, and relaxed with a drink and something from the B.B.Q. as if that wasn't enough the fire brigade arrived in the afternoon which proved a massive attraction.

However as to be expected the Hullabaloo's play centre's free open day proved to be an outstanding success for the kids judging from the amount of noise, little wonder that some parents needed to go outside to have a walk in the Country Park.

All in all the day was an outstanding success not only for Hullabaloo's and the Campus but also for the Charities who will benefit from all the fundraising on the day.

Michelle Ward the manager of Hullabaloo's and the person responsible for organising the event

would like to thank all her staff, family and friends for all the hard work they put into making the event happen, she would also like to thank the sponsors and donors of the prizes towards the fundraising and hopes to see everyone back at the Campus soon.

Les in London

Once again Les has had artwork accepted for exhibition in London representing not only himself and the 'Coterie' but other artists in the north to demonstrate that art and culture does exist beyond the M25.
This is your chance to show your support and acknowledgment of this fact, and of Les himself by registering your vote for him on www.eacartawards.org.uk it will only take a minute of your time which is a fraction of the time Les has taken in promoting art in the North in general and Sheffield in particular.
Such is the magnanimity of our Les that he has issued an invition to a private viewing at the Bank Side Gallery between 3pm-5pm on Tuesday 1st December 2009 but please RSVP the gallery.
The exhibition runs from the 2nd to 6th December 2009 and for those of you who do not know the gallery, it is situated on the South Bank, 200 yards from Tate Modern, so 2 exhibitions near to each other with free entry, how cool is that? almost as good as the 'Coterie'

REMEMBER use your vote and post your comments.
