The Sir John Barrow Monument is a popular spot for locals and visitors, and Sunday was a particularly good day as a steady flow of the windswept and curious made their way up the spiral stairs to read the history of the building, and hear Pete's installation.
Monument Keeper Les Tallon has been a great help in getting this together, and was happy with the response we had to Pete's piece, and with it's ability to fit in with it's surroundings. We were able to show images from the rest of the Green Room Project on Les's video screen, and generally have a nice and productive day of meeting people and discussing future plans for occasional events at the Monument.
Les and I agree that the building is suited to this kind of event, and that it points the way for further projects at significant sites that will attract visitors to and from the Town, including the Sir John Barrow Cottage on Dragley Beck. Hopefully we can pursue these ideas, and in the meantime Pete's piece will be open to all ears on sunday October 2nd and 9th, weather permitting. If the flag is flying on Hoad, Les will be open to visitors.
An update from the second day of Pete's installation period...over 130 people visited the Monument today, and here's Les's fellow Monument Keeper Steve Povey, Drone music aficionado and a good friend of ourselves and The Octopus Collective..
A nice spin-off from the school sessions on a sunny saturday in Ulverston. We were asked by the Town Council and the Markets to run an arts session for the town's Charter celebrations, and this piece of work is the result...a model of Market Street made by young people , their families and me and Alex.

Lex's work, along with Fran's Journals and Box Piece is now in the Day Room at St Mary's. And you can see Fran's work in the Orangerie alongside the work from Croftlands, SJB and Church Walk, ...we are also selling our postcards at the counter with the proceeds going to the Hospice.
Just back from St Mary's, where Geoff and Bob have been helping hang our school's work in the Cafe. We'll be back again tomorrow to put up Lex and Fran's work too. Have a look. Nice day for a walk. 
Not that this is the end of Green Room. As you may know, Pete's sound piece will be installed in the Monument on Hoad on Sept 25. The Monument opens to visitors weather permitting...if the flag is flying, it's open.
