THE BEST OF MIDDLEWICH: MIDDLEWICH ROSE FETE 2015 (ARCHIVED)

ARCHIVED


Once again the Middlewich Rose Fete brightens up the Saturday afternoon of the Middlewich FAB Festival Weekend bringing a touch of local Cheshire tradition to the proceedings and giving its participants a chance to shine, in many cases for the first time in their young lives. More details will appear here as the great day approaches.
The Collin School for dance will once again be taking part in the festivities. Here's a link to their website which has some details of the Rose Fete and Festival procession :



Photo: The Collin School Of Dance/Michelle Game. With thanks to Theresa Kay.
When we asked for permission to use this photo we had to ask if it was actually taken in Middlewich, as the background, though vaguely familiar, was rather puzzling. In the end we twigged it. That's a tiny bit of Brooks & Bostocks shop sign in the top left hand corner. Next is the St Luke's Hospice Shop and a solicitor's office. The white building to the right is the former Jan's Cafe. In other words, we're at the 'toppender' Wheelock Street and the photographer has managed to fool us by cutting off most of  the shop signs. Whether this is by accident or design is not clear. The photo shows members of the Collin School For Dance at the 2013 FAB Festival with some members opting for the much-admired 'Wellies' look


The Middlewich Diary has been helping to publicise the Rose Fete since 2012.

Here are links to our Diary entries on the last three years;

Facebook Feedback

Simon McGrory: I was involved with the Rose Fete some years ago when it was resurrected. Great to see there is still the enthusiasm for keeping it going. Great stuff.

THE BEST OF MIDDLEWICH: MIDDLEWICH PHOTOGRAPHERS and THE 21st CENTURY TECHNOLOGY & CAMERA GROUP

FLYER - MARCH 2015


Almost certainly the longest title yet for a Middlewich Diary entry!
We've put together the original Middlewich Photographers Group and the 21st Century Technology & Camera Group in this entry because, in this day and age, the two go hand in glove and many, if not all, members of Middlewich Photographers are also members of the new group..
Photography has taken to computer technology like a duck to water and, using modern computer software, many ordinary photographs can be made into works of art without the need to resort to the traditional darkroom. If you've just switched to digital from film photography, or recently upgraded your digital camera, you want to learn about the techniques used and the tremendous possibilities brought about by new ways of working, this group could be just the thing for you.
Meetings of the 21st Century Group are held at Willowmere in East Road and feature talks by group members and guest speakers, as well as opportunities to exchange information and ask questions.
Regular outings and photo-shoots are also held and the group also holds social evenings at the White Bear.
As you may have noticed, many of the modern-day photographs on the Middlewich Diary come from members of these groups.
We're always on the look out for photographs, old and new, taken in and around Middlewich, and we always acknowledge our sources and provide links to Facebook Pages, websites etc. when requested.

TEENAGERS-plus our more mature community members...


YOUR LOCAL CHESHIRE TECHNOLOGY GROUP NEEDS YOU!!!


In 2015 the 21st Century Technology & Camera Group will be looking for many more TEENAGERS to join CHESHIRE'S quickly growing Technology and Camera group.
We would like you to share your own mobile phone and tablet knowledge / experience with members, who in return can offer you many years photography work and business experience, with guidance on how to gain places of work in the vastly expanding commercial MEDIA work places in the UK.

We intend to spend a considerable amount of the GRANT monies recently provided by Middlewich Town Council and Cheshire East, by providing a MEMBER TRAINING PC Work Station, with a very large TV monitor, fitted with the latest PHOTO POST PROCESSING SOFTWARE.

This will ensure our younger members can gain FREE...ONE to ONE personal training by experts and existing members with years of real experience, in using this type of software, in a real workplace environment.

What better for YOU in today's competition for jobs, to have on your own C.V. a note to say you already belong to a local technology and camera group, have worked with people in the group who have years of media experience, and to be able to show photos of your work, completed whilst being a group member.

INTERESTED to find out more? call 07971 136360 & speak to Cliff, or go to our on-line FACEBOOK site, and join the group today, if this is for YOU?
or SHARE info with friends who may wish to know more
