Celebrating older people in the Borough

I am on the search for some inspirational older people (over 50 years of age).  The criteria for this is that they

· Must be over the age of 50 years
· Must live in the Borough of Great Yarmouth (Hopton all the way through to Martham?)\
· Have inspired you or others in some way either in the past, or currently.
 or
· Have had an achievement, either sporting or otherwise, in the past. (for example we have one person who swam the channel for charity some time ago)
 or
· An outstanding volunteer, maybe that person who makes the tea or puts the chairs away ………
 or
· Overcome some challenges in their past…….in any way shape or form
· Or just simply a wonderful person who deserves some recognition

All I need is
· Their name
· Their dob or age
· Their contact details (I need to be able to contact them with an invitation to a celebration event)\
· Your contact details
· A short piece about why you are nominating them, and why they deserve to be celebrated.
· Nominations must be with me by the 16th of May 2012

The celebration event will be on the 16th of June held at the Masonic lodge.
If you have any questions then please let me know

Priory Gallery Group Exhibition

The Priory Gallery Group present an exhibition inspired by “The Wilton Dyptych” and other sacred art on Tuesday, 14th September 2010, 10am – 3pm, at The Priory Centre, Priory Plain, Great Yarmouth, NR30 1NWT.

These beautiful dyptychs are a result of five workshops, run for local people, at The Priory Centre earlier this year. The workshops were run by The National Gallery with their artist Mark Woodhead.

Dyptych by Antony Wyard:  “The eleven footballers depict the 11 angels on the original picture.  My grandaughter and new baby depict the Virgin Mary and Baby and three politicians depict the three saints (before the election!) and myself holding the camera (my hobby) depict the kneeling King Richard.”

Heads by Mark Leech

and finally a delightful painting by Roy Batley.  These are just a small selection from the enchanting work produced by the Priory Gallery Group on this project!

Ageless Opportunities, Great Yarmouth Community Trust, welcome all to this event to be held at the Priory Centre, Priory Plain, o 29th March 2010, 10.00 – 14.00 hrs.  Activities to try out include arts and crafts, tai chi, Egyptian dance, circle dancing, reiki, money advice, games and lots more.
