This day school examines the historical context and making of perhaps the most famous classic Hollywood film. Tutors Creina Mansfield and Alan Sennett will discuss the artistic and political significance of the film, made soon after the United States entered the Second World War.
The day will include a screening of Casablanca plus a surprise example of a spin-off.

Haven't heard a bad word about the King's Speech.
The loop is a contrary bird. Ostensibly focusing on the Arts it occasionally strays when something catches its beady magpie's eye. So here we go: recycling, green energy and a something for young people to get their teeth into. Spread the word!
The Weston Bike Project.
The aim is to have a Bike Shop on the Weston estate that children can get involved with in a beneficial way not only for themselves but for the whole of the Weston estate.
A shop that kids can bring their bikes to for repair and pay for the repair by cleaning other bikes that have been donated to us by Cheshire Police, British Rail or striping damaged bike for spares and if they haven't a bike but would like one they can volunteer to work in the shop until they have earned one.
This shop will give the children somewhere to go in the evenings instead of hanging round the streets getting up to no good, its all about the children.
This project is supported by Cheshire East Performance & Partnership, Cheshire Peaks & Plains Housing Trust, Cheshire Police, The Calvary Church and Halfords.
And if all goes well they may open a Cafe next door again for the children.....
Halfords are going to lend a qualified mechanic paid for by them until they have qualified volunteers.
but they are short of adult volunteers so......
The opening hours will probably be something like 16:30pm to 18:30pm
If you would like to get involved in this really worthwhile project contact Ken Hayter

Choosing a book can be a blissful thing, a tactile (even sensual) experience... holding it in your hand, stroking the pages, browsing the first paragraph and sneakily sniffing it. So how alarming to realise that Waterstone's Macclesfield is under threat of closure, in the course of this year. (for Jane Birch more than most - she works there and loves her job).Cheshire East Council and Congleton Town Council require an artist or creative interpreter to tell the story of Congleton Town Hall.
