Thanks to loop reader Helen for this:

'There's a new Jive class starting in Macclesfield Town Hall from 9 Feb that I thought Loop readers might be interested in. The class currently runs in Poynton and I've been several times and can recommend it as a great night out! The teachers are friendly, the dancing great fun and it's a good way to meet new people. There is more information about Jive on their website here: http://www.stylzjive.co.uk/'

Like the sound of sea gulls?

After seeing the great exhibition 'Art in The attic' (highly recommended) at Bollington Art Centre last Sunday I think we'll head ' to Bolly again this weekend for some more visual stimulation. Maria Maw eco artist, is showing her work 'Something For Nothing' at the Waterside cafe until Feb 28.

If you fancy some jazz, Annies saints and Sinners play the Eggerton Arms in Chelford tonight ( Fri) and don't forget the Farmers Market at The Hollins on Black Road on Sunday.

We are sending an incognito 10 year old to review the Sci Bar at the Vale in Bollington on Monday night. He'll be drinking lemonade ofcourse and finding out about the search for exraterrestrial life with Professor Ian Morrison from Jodrell Bank.

We know there are lots of enthusiastic knitters in Macc and we need to get our hands on one. When I say we, I mean Barnaby actually. Barnaby has an exciting project, revolving around knitting and stories but limited time resources to give it. Would you like to come on board, yourself or with a couple of friends? Endless knitting not required, but enthusiasm, a big smile and a deck chair are. Contact Jane 07981128454 maccloop@googlemail.com for more details.

The loop and pals are off to the Hollins tonight see the wonderful and very danceable Butterfly Jam. See you there!

Meanwhile start thinking about Friday night.Want to know where the loop and friends are off to? The Hollins to see their favourite band, Butterfly Jam. See you there.

Art from the Attic

The loop likes lots of things. Thats not to say its undiscerning and actually it takes against things pretty easily too. Its not often however that it falls in love.

Sunday's view of the exhibition at Bollington Art Centre was to be one of those exceptions. Get a long to see Art from the Attic which is open on Sundays 2-4pm til the end of February. The contrasts are great from delicate bird drawings by Melanie Alexandrou to boldly vivid woodcutsand paintings by Ralph McGaul along with photographs and paintings from Gavin Barber and Patrick Cody . Do your best to get there but if you miss this show you'll get the chance to see their work as part of the Barnaby Festival in June. Couldn't wait that long myself.

We note the Thursday showing at the Heritage Centre of the NW Film Archives selection of local film footage is sold out.
