OPENING NIGHT AT 84....

Saturday night at our Gallery was fantastic...The Mayor of Redbridge, Gurdial Bhamra kindly came along to announce the winner of the photography competition and draw the raffle tickets. You can get a flavour of the evening below and see the winning pictures later this week...

Many thanks to Chris D' Souza for the smashing pictures of the evening...

..as you can see from the picture above the long awaited photography exhibition in now on the Gallery wall and open for everyone to see. The photographs we are exhibiting are by 13 local photographers and as I said the other day there are some smashing pictures to be seen. Each photographer is exhibiting three pictures one of which is of Wanstead, I am delighted to say we have thirteen completely different views of Wanstead. One of the things I love about photography is the way we all see things differently...

Although the exhibition is now open Wednesday to Saturday 10.30 till 5pm and Sunday 10.30 till 4pm the opening night is  next Saturday. 

If you live in Wanstead or just passing through stop for a few minutes and have a look as these lovely pictures...

We are also raising money for out local childrens hospice Haven House who do fantastic work. If you'd like to help with an online donation click here and go through to the donations page.

You can find the exhibition here:

....not in that sense of course...What you see in the above picture are some of the photographs that we are putting on display starting September 3rd at the Gallery. They are all by local photographers, I can tell you there are some lovely pictures that will be going on the wall. The reason they are spread out over the floor? Well to add a little spice to the exhibition there is also a competition, I wasn't the judge I hasten to add, the winner, you'll have to wait until the opening evening 6pm till 9pm on September 10th to find out that. 

We are also raising money for Haven House a local 
children's hospice who do fantastic work. If you'd like to make an online donation to this very worthy cause you can just click here to go through to the Haven House donations page.

EVENING TIME...

I had a stroll the other evening, nowhere in particular. I did however end up wandering past a floodlit Christ Church. The spire looked beautiful framed by the trees on Christchurch Green....

BUTCHERS...

...unless you are a Wanstead resident you probably won't be too excited by the arrival of The Ginger Pig on our High Street. Wanstead folk are however especially as we have lost our old butcher. It's a great shop with a wonderful display and selection of meats, I can personally vouch for the sirloin steak, delicious. Being one of the world's leading experts on sausage roll eating I can say they too are just wonderful...

...anyway before I get too carried away raving about food I was also struck by this lovely brass name and pig motif set in tiles at the entrance. As I'm always telling anyone who will listen you must look up and look down not just straight ahead otherwise you might miss something... a very stylish entrance..

....obessed when it comes to bridges. You may have seen this bridge before, its quite near my home. Some days the sun goes down and you get a magical sky behind it,  then it's transformed for a short period  from a bridge to a sculptural form...

.....and you should see the bridge I have just found, a picture later this week hopefully...
