Hi, a quick one.
We are going off grid a bit until Jan now with good old NAF; having a little wind down before it all kicks of again in Jan, but what a year we have coming up. Its going to be proper lush.
We have "North India to Northfield" form our Arts Champions SAMPAD rolling out from now up to march, with local groups making beautiful art with the excellent Shaheen. We will be wrapping up our Tales from Heads projet with a couple of grand finales in march, then linking it all together we will be running year 2 of our connecting communites project, which last year funded our Music! Dance! Draw! event, this year it will be bigger, better and just a big old ball of fun.
We would love you to be more involved in us next year, and so our monthly meetings will move from the first monday of every month to the 4th THURSDAY of every month. and rather than a sit down chat about whats been going on, it will be an Arts Cafe, in fact it will be our NAFCAF(e) WHOOOOOP WHOOOOOOP. It will have live music, arts showcases, and lots of space for networking. Stick it in your diary.
We also hope to hold brief steering group meetings before the NAFCAF(e) each month, allowing you and local community groups to plan shape and deliver things like our Arts March in springtime, our Arts Villages across the summer, and to be an integral part of our Connecting Communities (Music! Dance! Draw!) events in the coming year.
