Oakham Town Council Extra Meeting 7pm 5th May 2010 Victoria Hall Oakham

Oakham Town Council Extra Meeting 7pm 5th May 2010 Victoria Hall Oakham



Dear Members,

As there is no point in the agenda for public deputations at tonight's meeting I will speak on behalf of a member of the public.

After apologies, I would like to declare Cllr Swiffin's NE seat vacant. I understand he has sent his apologies again.

Cllr Swiffin has not attended the legally required number of meetings.

Also the deputy chairman has not come back to me regarding my question relating to the legality of the exclusion of press and public. The notice has not quoted the appropriate act and therefore I believe, we can not vote to exclude the public, and the notice is void.

It appears our Deputy Chairman lacks any manners, by continuing to ignore my correspondence.

From

Martin Brookes

A Visit to St Michael & All Angels Edmondthorpe, Leicestershire.

martinA Visit to St Michael & All Angels Edmondthorpe, Leicestershire.


St. Michael’s is best seen from the road approaching the village from the south. (we did not stop to take a photograph. The fine tower is 13th century. With a 15th century upper part where the stone changes. Decorated work predominates in the mixed styles of the body of the church. Inside are a series of impressive monuments to members of the Smith family: the most stunning is the three tiered alabaster monument to Sir Roger Smith, d.1655. Other items of interest in this light interior include a mediaeval screen and a George III Royal Arms.

The church is preserved by the Churches Conservation Trust.

Photographs also of Buckminster and Ashwell Rutland

Exhibition Victoria Hall Oakham Rutland

This week at Victoria Hall, Rosemary Tolkien an artist from Uppingham Rutland is showing her work. Admission is free.

The show gives people the chance to see Rosemary’s collection of painting based on architecture.

The collection includes works of architecture from Tenerife, Uppingham, Stamford and St. Pancras Station.

Rosemary describe her installation piece, “I have used ‘building blocks’ to show how the different architecture of the newly restored St Pancras Station interacts.

I have broken down the images into flat shapes and colours in to synthesize them into their significant forms so that the overall design, although being very neo-realist in character, takes on a formalist element.”
