If anyone can help out by volunteering to help FRED get installed, we'd be really grateful.

Hannah Stewart is co-ordinating and would love to hear from you. Her mobile number is: 07884 102194.

Hi Sarah

Cumbric.net is a new discussion board for communities and groups in Cumbria and beyond.

How was it? I did a bit of work for them a few days ago,

I just acquired the new Taschen book on L Freud and have been reminded how inspiring his work is. I'm a sculptor and can't paint for toffee but his stuff makes me wish I could.

Today I was invited to call at Carnforth Postal Sorting Office to retrieve a 'package' because insufficient postage had been paid.

There's a thread about people making it to openings and other art events in cumbria hereabouts and it set me thinking about openings.
