The morning's snail post was - with the exception of First Magazine and a pile more guff about swine flu - a joy and delight.
1. An invitation from Yorkshire Water to an "Exclusive Tour of Esholt Waste Water Treatment Works and Environmental Visitor Centre". I've always like factory tours and this tour showcases the £75 million invested by Yorkshire Water at the site. I also lived in Esholt when I first moved to Bradford - the place is more famous for being the location for Emmerdale Farm (useless quiz question used to be: "what is the real name of The Woolpack?" Answer - Commercial Inn. However, it's now really called The Woolpack).
2. An invitation to the preview for Sheila Gaffney's "Others" exhibition at Cliffe Castle Museum in Keighley - the result of a residency at the museum exploring how memories might be made tangible. The exhibition in free and runs from 19th Sepember 2009 to 10th January 2010 - so you've no excuse for not going!
3. Notice of a private viewing for "Chiz Turnross - 1000 Bird Paintings" at the Bradford One Gallery in Centenary Square, Bradford. This exhibition is free and runs from 12th September to 22nd November. (This Gallery wouldn't be there without my banging on about it for what seems like years - it is one of the very few new council-run public art galleries in the last 50 years).
4. An invitation to "David Moore, The Last Things" at Impressions Gallery (featuring awesome photography) in Centenary Square, Bradford. Impressions relocated to Bradford from York and were important to getting the funding to open Bradford One as they took half the space in the "Banana Building! and shared the costs. This exhibition features pictures of the MoD's secret crisis management centre and should be really interesting. It runs from 19th September 2009.
And people say nothing good happens in Bradford?
