Co-op Castle Street display
The group's new exhibition for February, in the shopfront windows of the Co-op building on Castle St is now almost fully completed and today we had a visit from councillor Paul Scriven, a long time supporter of the group.
Councillor Scriven spent an hour with the group members getting updated about the progress and the new section of the display on objects related to Sheffield.
CHANGING FACES
Jim Lambert, Hedley Bishop and fellow group member Mark Wallis have been asked to include photographs in an exhibition entitled "CHANGING FACES " at The Riverside, Mowbray St starting on the 29th September.
The collection, curated by Lorelle Hill, will also include submissions by Berris Conolly, A.G. Smith, Geo Law, Jim Connolly and Jonathan Wilkinson.
Hope to see as many of you there as we can fit in!

Winter Gardens Display
Some of the group members had a little get together in the Harlequin pub on Nursery St on the 12 July and brought along a marvellous selection of pictures to be included in the upcoming Winter Gardens exhibition.
Charlie Barker also brought along her guitar and (as always) provided us with some great entertainment and gave us a little preview of some of the songs from her upcoming album Ghosts and Heroes.
The groups display in the Winter gardens will be installed on Sunday the 8th August and will be on display till September 3rd ,we hope as many people as possible will come down and show their support for a project that has been steadily growing as a public event since it was first thought of in September 2009.
Thanks again for all your support,
Jim Lambert

Councillor Paul Scriven visits the market display
Yet another red letter day for the group display with the visit of Council leader Paul Scriven. Mr Scriven showed a genuine interest not only in the pictures, but in the members also and had plenty of questions for us to answer with regard to the history of the group, how the display had been conceived and also how we intend to take the group forward. He has asked us to contact him with any ideas we have for future venues.
He spent quite a bit of time chatting and joking with the group in what proved to be a very informal and friendly visit.
A likeable politician! What is the world coming to?
He also expressed an interest in the groups Portland works petition and was given what has become known to us as " the speech" from one of the petition's organisers Lilian Hatch.
Mr Scriven then signed both the Portland petition and the group comments book.
