Dementa Friends Awareness A small band of members plus some of the younger generation gathered to hear more about living well with dementia at an information session delivered by The Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Adviser for the Tyne Valley, Caroline Armstrong and the Befriending Co-Ordinator, Jenny. It was a pity more people didn’t attend as we had good fun and learnt a lot. The key messages were that dementia is not a natural part of ageing; it is caused by different diseases of the brain. It is not just about losing memory but it can affect the way people think, speak, feel, behave and perceive the world visually. People can live well with dementia especially if they keep up their interests, routines, activities and social contacts and that’s where the U3A comes in, by encouraging members to continue with their interests and by being patient, checking understanding, giving visual reminders and being supportive. For advice, support or to volunteer to befriend, please contact Caroline and Jenny at 01434 607318, Office 4, The Community Centre, Hexham, NE46 3NP htps://u3asites.org.uk/tynedale 2 Hadrian’s Cavalry Over the summer there are exhibitons about Hadrian’s Cavalry sponsored by the Arts Council; there is a display in Carlisle of a whole turma (troop of 30 cavalrymen) in July.

We had a very interestng and enjoyable day and of course a delicious lunch as well. Joan Eardley is one of Scotland’s most popular 20th century artsts and this exhibiton marks the first major retrospectve of her work for almost 20 years. It includes Eardley observatons of street children in the back streets of Glasgow as well as her landscapes and dramatc seascapes painted in and around the fishing village of Caterline on the North East coast of Scotland. Although Joan Eardley was born in Sussex she moved to Glasgow in 1921 to atend the Glasgow School of Art. The exhibiton shows how she built up a sense of trust with the children who lived in and around Roten Row in the run down Glasgow tenements and she perfect- ly captures their lives.

  • Cultural Activity Impact Report
    Cabinet 15 March 2017 Cultural Activity Impact Report Report of Corporate Management Team Ian Thompson, Corporate Director of Regeneration and Local Services Councillor Neil Foster, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Culture, Regeneration and Economic Development Purpose of the Report 1 The purpose of this report is to provide Members with an update on the County’s Cultural Programme and offer further insight into the value and impact of this vibrant and growing area which forms part of the Council’s economic planning. The report reflects on the recent achievements of the county wide programme and seeks support for future cultural activity. Background 2 The County’s cultural assets and creative output continue to grow. They now not only attract considerable visitors and inward investment but enhance the Council’s and County’s reputation on a local, regional, national and international level, with residents, visitors and investors alike. This continued growth has been the result of a number of factors including public, private and third sector’s collective ambition and investment in the value and impact of cultural activity. Growth through the Cultural sector continues to be part of the Council’s planning for regeneration and economic development. 3 For the County Council this has been through a renewed and supported ambition for culture since LGR that has grown out of the City of Culture ambition of 2009. This has seen the development of a thriving and vibrant programme delivered directly through the Council’s own programmes, as well as supporting, both financially and creatively, the wider sector to flourish and continue to build and reimagine the County’s cultural offer in a profound way.

  • Recovering the Popular Past: the Beamish Open-Air Museum in Its British Context John Walton
    Recovering the Popular Past: the Beamish Open-Air Museum in its British Context John Walton. This paper may seem somewhat paradoxical in the context of the symposium, because it deals with a museum project that deliberately marginalized and finally sold off its ‘great house’, while retaining and presenting to the public the two farmhouses that were on the site, and incorporating an array of other domestic and industrial buildings (including a cluster of coal miners’ cottages and the surface buildings and machinery of an actual coal mine) into a complex site which has grown during more than thirty years to occupy over three hundred acres. The text of the paper as presented here is an adaptation, with some shared text, of Chapter 6 of The Playful Crowd: Pleasure Places in the Twentieth Century, a book that I co-authored with Gary Cross in 2005; but the research on the North of England Open Air Museum at Beamish, in County Durham, and its interpretation in the British context, is my own.1 The later years of the twentieth century saw the rise of the open-air museum of industrial and social history in Britain. Its range of artefacts and reconstructions from a documented past laid claim to scholarly accuracy and historical authenticity in ways that commercial theme-parks did not choose to emulate. A significant British pioneer in this field was the open-air museum at Beamish in County Durham, in the old industrial north- east of England. Seeking to represent a relatively recent industrial past, much of which was still within living memory, Beamish rode the wave of interest in industrial archaeology that grew out the work of L.T.C.
