‘ Our lives are marked by a series of moments. Do you have a special ‘moment’ from Lafrowda Day? Maybe something, funny, sad or just plain bizarre. Maybeyou remember the early Lafrowda days? Can you bring you ‘moment’ along with you and tell us about it on Tuesday 5th July 7.30pm in the WI Hall; or better still can you write your ‘moment’ as a paragraph or two (keep it short please) for you or one of our ‘readers’ to read out. Contact: Mary Ann on 01736 788906 or mabloomfield@btinternet.com’ ‘

Never ones to let the grass grow under our feet, we are delighted to introduce a new element to Lafrowda this year – ‘The Play Plen’ Family Fun Day.
The Plen-an-gwarry will be host to a whole range of family and child-friendly entertainments, activities and events from 11am through to 6pm. Magicians, Punch & Judy, arts and crafts, face-painting, circus skills..the list goes on…..enough to keep the young ‘uns busy through the day.
Full details and times can be found here.

Please note that in order to promote a safe and welcoming environment for families and young children, no alcohol will be permitted in the Plen before 7pm. We appreciate your co-operation in this matter

All we need now is a little sunshine……..

We are delighted to say that the programme of events, workshops and entertainments is now available on the site.

The theme for this year’s celebration of the arts is ‘Look East’!

Given the creative minds at work in our community – who knows what to expect. But one thing is for certain; it’s going to be as lively, creative and entertaining as ever!!

Tom Henderson-Smith has unveiled this year’s masterpiece:

Viva Lafrowda 2010 painting just completed!

This is the first announcement about the painting, just finished, that was inspired by this year’s Lafrowda festival and that, on and off, I’ve been working on since mid July.
You can see the picture at http://www.hendersonsmith.co.uk/viva_lafrowda_auction.html with a buy now alternative at http://www.hendersonsmith.co.uk/viva_lafrowda.html . I’ve also posted a blog about the new picture at http://hendersonsmith.co.uk/blog/?p=58 and your comments there would be most welcome.

The unmounted print with voucher scheme applies to the new picture.

This recently updated scheme means that inexpensive unmounted prints of paintings still available in the original come with vouchers to the same value towards purchasing any original painting from the site or from my studio. It’s all explained at http://www.hendersonsmith.co.uk/rolled_unmounted_prints.html and it applies of course to the new Lafrowda picture!
