The Toy Stories - a project for SHOP-Stoke

Come and visit us at SHOP Monday 11th October - Wednesday 13th October and don't come alone ... bring your favourite toy with you!
The Toy Stories is a project for anyone of any age - just come along with a favourite toy and share a story about why that toy is so important. If you've not got the toy any longer you can still come and tell us about those special toys, the ones you could never say "goodbye" to and maybe those that broke your heart when they disappeared! Why was that toy such a great part of your childhood ? What happened to the toy? Maybe you have an amusing anecdote to share.  For full project details please  view the information on SHOP website.

STANDSTILL

Check out the new Standstill site for updates on workshops and how to attend the actual Standstill event on December 21st in Hanley.

All workshops and the final event are free. you can just turn up to workshops - drop in. You need to book you place if you want to come and join the full Standstill journey .We need to limit numbers of folks on the walk through the town , it will be a special intimate party, an event to remember. Anyone can join us at the end of the journey - just before 5pm in Tontine Square, Hanley.

We want all our Barefoot Doctors to come forward and take part in the event - you all helped to form the ideas, from the summer school until now we formed and shaped the event...from the smallest of details . You'll spot little things from the workshops, ideas and images that have been brought forward into the final event.

If you are available to take part on the night give me a call at the office and there are plenty of ways to help out - stewarding, carrying lanterns , banners, placing boxes in the rubbish (Summer School attendees will be familiar with that!!!)

Call us Monday to Friday and leave a message for me or speak with Philippa on the main number ... or leave a message on the answer machine if we are out at workshops ...01782 717326
