Elementia's reception

well I made my deadline.... just in time. ;-)

Elementia's reception was last tuesday and once again we pulled in a sweet crowd. ;-) it always makes me feel nostalgic to dim the lights and pull out the mic for these super talented young people.

the magazine will be available online by January 1 and I will have more copies to distribute by next week.

The cover for this issue was... of course ... courtesy of the one and only... Jon Nicholls.

In this issue we had young adult writers, artists, and photographers from the UK, Zambia, Africa, and the United States. And I must mention, I was just contacted by a librarian, to whom I met in Sofia, Bulgaria, from Bermuda that has students for our next issue.

cheers, eh?

Tree Dressing

This year's tree dressing event was held in Telemann Square on Friday 5th December. Organised by the Greenwich Food Co-op, New Horizons and Thomas Tallis School, participants created lanterns in the shape of fruit and vegetables to promote healthy lifestyles and paraded through the Ferrier Estate to the accompaniment of the Bollywood Brass Band. Emergency Exit Arts created a brilliant firework display and everyone was treated to Rosa's fabulous soup in the Community Centre at the end of the proceedings. We are already planning an even bigger and better event for next year.
