Various dates for your diary: XR Oxford Drummers: rehearsals every Tuesday, 6-8pm @ St Greg's £3 per person, which will go towards the £20 room hire and for the instrument kitty (drums + repairs). First session is free. The venue is St. Greg's School, Cricket Road, Cowley, OX4 3DR. Buses 1 and 5 start from Oxford Rail Stn or St Aldates (G5), drop off at at Shelley Road. Map can be found above. For those who have been to previous rehearsals at St Greg's, please go through the side gate and make your way to the Music practice room. For those who haven't been to the school before, please wait at the Main Reception and call me on 07970 997 453 and we will come and collect you. Block Printing Workshop at Flo's | Saturday 14 March | 10:00-1300: Flo's have offered to host a block printing workshop and will be putting up an Eventbrite page soon. It's limited to 15 spaces so the organiser wanted to offer this to AG's first to give you the opportunity of sending people who would like to learn how to block print to make banners, flags, patches and other arts resources for your groups. Jane King will be running this with Sue Wheeler an experienced artist-printmaker who runs her own courses. They will demonstrate the process of cutting a lino block before getting stuck into printing using blocks already made - some with XR UK imagery and some made by XR Oxford Arts Group. They can supply some fabric but people should bring clothing and/or fabric offcuts they would like to print on and Flo's are asking for donations of £10 to cover the cost of the room. Please let me know if you would like to attend on behalf of the samba band ASAP.
