Potato Day on Saturday 28th January (members only) and Sunday 29 January 2012 (open to all), has been made famous by Garden Organic for almost two decades and has helped make potatoes a ‘must grow’ for many a Briton’s gardening year. As a result more of us are growing our own portion of the average 500* potatoes we eat each annually. With over 120 varieties, 40 of them organic, Potato Day at Ryton Gardens, Warwickshire, will give budding growers the chance to buy seed potatoes in packs or by the tuber, meaning anyone with enough space for a potato grow bag, or an entire allotment plot can get started right away. http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/corporate/EventDbP.nsf/by+category/16F03BF22E0C07658025797D0049D8EF Sun, 22 Jan 2012 08:00:11 +0100 http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/corporate/EventDbP.nsf/by+category/16F03BF22E0C07658025797D0049D8EF We all know that toddlers are bundles of energy and our Toddlers Trundles are the perfect way to burn it off!

BRINK is proud to present the work of Horace Panter at the Talisman Theatre, from 5th May until 26th June 2012. Although more well-known as the bass-player of The Specials, Horace Panter, aka Sir Horace Gentleman, has always been involved in art. Horace's formal education started with a one year course in Art at Northampton College in 1971. In 1975, he graduated with a degree in Fine Art from Coventry’s Lanchester Polytechnic, now Coventry University. While confirming his skill and passion for painting, his time at Lanchester Polytechnic introduced him, in his second year, to Jerry Dammers. And, together they formed what would become one of the defining bands of the decade. Whilst studying Fine Art in the mid-Seventies, Horace was immersed in art theory and conceptualism, exploring and interpreting the art of ancient civilisations, such as the Mayans. Even then, Horace's influences were eclectic, ranging from the minimal sculptures of Donald Judd and Robert Morris to the post-abstract-expressionist paintings of Kenneth Noland, Morris Louis and Robyn Denny. The artist’s work reflects a broad range of influences, ranging from Pop Art to iconic forms of religious and political propaganda, culminating in colourful, highly stylised, ultra-modern images. Panter creates his own unique form of iconography, admitting he is fascinated with orthodox icons, seeing them as art with a purpose: “You want your crops to grow you pray to an image, that’s purposeful”. While acknowledging their functionality as venerated objects, he simultaneously recognises their beauty as cultural artefacts. The subjects of his paintings, often, lone figures against stark backgrounds, beg the question “who and what is i http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/corporate/EventDbP.nsf/by+category/45E4E384828E89BD802579AF0058CB2E Sun, 29 Apr 2012 08:00:50 +0100 http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/corporate/EventDbP.nsf/by+category/45E4E384828E89BD802579AF0058CB2E Do you remember visiting a holiday camp when you were a child?
