Jacklyn Alefounder and Mave van der Werff, had a good time at the medieval fair on the 15th September. Dressed in Medieval costumes, they handed out literature informing the public about the Arts Society Newmarket.

Young Arts gave Bottisham Village College £1000, which will be used in conjuction with other funding, in order to engage professional artists, who will work alongside students to make an artwork to mark the opening of the new building and to complement the art work already on the school site.

This is a picture of the artwork, with some of the committee admiring it.

Young Arts gave Exning School £500 to make a mosiac of Boudicca for their new building.The theme was choosen due to the links that Boudicca had in the village.

Would you like to help children understand churches?
Have you ever wandered around a church or place of worship awed by the artworks, stained glass, artefacts and deep social history?  Then imagine inspiring that same awe in children aged 8-12 years.  NADFAS Church Trails do just that. They are simple, interactive guides that steer youngsters to explore and investigate the stories behind the animals and people represented in the iconography.  It is a joy to see their curiosity come to light.  Would you like to play a part in stimulating that imagination?
Church Trails are produced as part of a very sociable team, each person bringing their own particular skills. We are looking for new Church Trails to be started and for volunteers who would like to lead the creation of a trail, ideally someone who can help and encourage team members during the whole process in a very practical way.
Church Trail makers will:

meet lots of new people

• learn new skills
• gain more in-depth knowledge about churches and their history
• and of course be rewarded by the wonderful work of engaging children with their local church!

Full support will be provided all along the way by NADFAS House, your Church Trails Area rep and the Head of Church Trails.  If you feel you would like to know more about getting involved in this very sociable and valuable activity, please email – without obligation - Jo Martin at jmartin@nadfas.org.uk. We look forward to hearing from you.
 
We would love to hear your thoughts about this campaign to start more Church Trails and do hope you will be able to support it.

The Museum Director, Chris Garibaldi welcomed the first  NDFAS group visit to the new museum.  A party of 60 Newmarket DFAS members enjoyed drinks and refreshments before being taken round the impressive new museum premises. These are comprised of the Palace House, The King's Yard and the Rothschild Yard.
