WYSPAS Present......We Go Together

Arts Centre in High Wycombe ?

Hi Everyone,
I'm passing this on, as WYSPAS are a member of this organisation. Please, if anyone is free on the 5th, lend them your support. A new arts space in High Wycombe has always been their long term goal, to replace the one that Bucks CC took away when they sold Spring Gardens to property developers.
Regards

Andy

August 2007 www.arts4every1.info Local Arts Forum Feedback Meeting WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 5TH 7.30PM ST JOHNS CHURCH HALL, DESBOROUGH ROAD, HIGH WYCOMBE STOP PRESS: On the 16th August 2007 St Johns Church came on the market for sale. This imposing grade II listed building dates from about 1900 and is scheduled for redundancy as part of the reorganisation of the parish of High Wycombe St Birinus and St John . SO NOW IT’S REALLY TIME FOR ACTION! If you would like to see St Johns as a location for the local, professional and amateur arts and to provide facilities that meet the needs of the community, we need your views as soon as possible. More importantly you need to attend the Local Arts Forum Feedback Meeting on the 5th September. At this meeting Arts4Every1 will present the results of the Local Arts Forum held on 24th May 2007 as part of Wycombe Arts Festival and continue to discuss and develop a vision for the arts in Wycombe District. Specifically we will focus on how St Johns could be used to meet the needs of the people of Wycombe District in the areas of performing arts, visual arts and community use. Interesting Fact… St Johns Church was designed by W D Caroe (1857–1938). From the family architectural practice of Caroe & Partners, W D Caroe was one of the great figures of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The Arts & Crafts Movement existed in Great Britain between 1850-1915. Stone House, High Street, Lane End, High Wycombe , HP14 3ER Telephone 01494 883163 Email: info@arts4every.info

Saucy Jack & The Space Vixens

At Saucy Jack's Cabaret Bar
in the dark reaches of the universe,
the evil shadow of the Slingback Killer looms...

Cabaret artistes are being picked off one by one
- the heel of a sequined slingback plunged into their chests.

Will the Space Vixens arrive in time to halt the blood lust

and save the day by the power of disco?

There's only one way to find out...

make sure you're part of the show!

Wyspas launch the hottest, sexiest, fun packed show ever!

In their 67th year of performing, Wyspas take you back to the days when sound tracks were non-existent and cinema brought the glamour and glitz of the Hollywood classics to the masses.

Magical Movie Memories is being performed from the 18th – 21st April at The Theatre on the Hill, Amersham College. The curtains rise at 7.30pm, with an additional 4.00pm matinee on Saturday 21st. Tickets are prices at £10, with concessions available.

Fund Raising Evening for Iain Rennie Hospice

Hi,

I've organised a fund raising evening for Iain Rennie Hospice at home next Friday 9th March at Wycombe Heights golf club.7.30 - 12pm Tickets are £15.00 each and all profits go to Iain Rennie Hospice at home. The evening is a Casino and Disco evening of fun, dancing and prizes!

This amazing charity allows terminally ill people of any age to stay in their own homes rather than go into hospital or a hospice. All funds are vital to keep the specially trained nurses doing their unenviable job!

Please let me know if you would like to come along and support IRHH and have a great evening.

Thanks
