Rock Art and Craft The Easter weekend saw the Friends of Rock Church present their 16th annual Art and Craft Exhibition and Sale, in the church. The standard of art and craft made the trip worthwhile, with a huge range of styles, subject matter and techniques. This year, 30 artists took part, with around 180 paintings on show, plus woodturning, walking sticks, cards, jewellery, pottery, ceramics and a floral art demonstration. Prices ranged from a few pounds for a piece of craft work to a few hundred pounds for some of the larger works. This was an excellent event if you wanted a piece of original art for your home, whether watercolour, pastel, oil, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, linocut, pen & ink or collagraph. Proceeds from the event add to the funds of the Friends of Rock Church, who have been helping with maintenance and development of the church since their formation in 1980. This year the exhibition was officially opened by Pascale Bigot, an artist who has been at all 16 events!

Norris & Miles Solicitors would like to publicly thank their Will Aid clients for donations which have led to the firm raising over £2000 for the Will Aid charities. The firm volunteered their time and skills to write wills for local people and managed to write 30 wills, helping these clients secure the future for their loved ones. Kevin Hodges of Norris & Miles said “It was quite difficult to see this many clients and it did mean a lot of work, but it was worth it. We are delighted to have raised so much money for the Will Aid charities. Our clients were impressed with the amount we raised and our fundraising success is a testament to the generosity of those people who came forward to have their Will written under the scheme during November and we would like to thank them all.” Will Aid is the UK’s leading charity willwriting scheme. Solicitors offer their time and expertise without charge, to give everyone the opportunity to make or update their basic will in return for a donation to help people in need. This money is shared by ActionAid, Age UK, British Red Cross, Christian Aid, NSPCC, Save the Children, Sightsavers, SCIAF (Scotland) and Trocaire (Northern Ireland). Shirley Marsland, Will Aid campaign manager, said “Norris & Miles have made a very valuable contribution to the success of Will Aid. The participating charities are deeply grateful for the funds raised, which they will be able to put to good use to help people in need in the UK as well as around the world. So far the campaign has raised over £1.2m and as donations are still being received we hope the final total will be nearer £2m.” The scheme will run again in November 2015.
