The final meeting of our 2021/22 season took place in June. Award-winning artist, Maxine Dodd, lead a critique of members’ work. Maxine made this a particularly enjoyable and fun occasion, as she involved members in light-hearted discussions and offered useful, sympathetic comments. We look forward to her visit next year when she will critique some work in progress. It is an incentive for the ‘Art Lovers’ to keep painting!

What an amazing summer we have had. No doubt too hot for many! This hot weather has certainly done nothing to enhance the beauty of our gardens. However, it looks like it is now breaking and we can relish in being refreshed by the rain we so often complain about.

The good weather over the summer months was an added bonus as the band played to good audiences at various outdoor events. 

To celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Michael Kapur, Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire instigated the Community and Business Awards. These awards recognise the achievements of local Community groups, Schools and Businesses within the county and city. Exceptional achievements that develop a community spirit, enrich the lives of their members, pupils or employees and the wider community.

Adele Rogers, our brilliant Musical Director, has decided to step down after seven successful and amazing years leading the Foxton Community Choir. But, the Choir must go on, as it’s such an integral and important part of our Village. So, we need a Musical Director to replace her.  

Jack and Ellen Stamp founded J Stamp & Sons in 1946, working as french polishers and antique furniture restorers. They worked from a small workshop in the village of Drayton, situated in the Welland Valley. Prior to the Second World War, Jack had worked for a local business. They were antique furniture dealers and restorers and undertakers in Market Harborough.

Why do our Walk Organisers work hard to spread the walks the length and breadth of the county.

So, what is SPACE?
