MATISSE ndash CUT OUTS EXHIBITION 100514

This much vaunted exhibition eventually lived up to its promise It was crowded and led oneto wondering about the ticketing policy Basically it was during the latter stages of Matissersquoslife where despite a debilitating illness he decided on experimenting with decoupageSome were mixed with painting others just cut outs attached with pins (this part was keptsecret)

It is something one needs to see really rather than look at on TV or in magazines There were18 different sections All with different themes There were parakeets A Creole dancer Therewere whole rooms with wall paper designed by him There were lithographs (prints) andmaquettes The Snail is done in just blocks of colour which are too simplistic for everyonersquostaste

Visually the exhibition could be viewed either as stunning or child like One must considerthat there was already an impressive body of work behind MatisseBut conversely at the end one was left to consider what is the influence of Matisse oncurrent practice - it is non-existent The excuse that he is not socially relevant can be addedto your complaint Complaining about works for lacking social relevance is probably validbut dismissing them for it or saying they are not proper pictures is absurd -who is to say atwhat moment someone like Matisses work may become relevant enough to impactenough on society to make a difference - and your idea of a proper picture is just that

No one has commented on how crowded this exhibition getsHas Tate sold too many tickets Or is it buzzing without being oppressiveIs it possible to stand back to get a good view of the art Or would that just give you a viewof rows (and rows) of people jostling around

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

We ventured inside and straight upstairs to theCitadel Miniatures Hall This is a large room filled withwall to wall showcases displaying the finestminiatures and examples of painting that I had everseen in my life Featuring all the armies from Fantasyand 40k and Games Workshoprsquos other flagshipgame The Hobbit I felt like a kid in a sweet shopstaring in awe at the work and artistry that hadgone into producing figures of such high standardTruly inspiring and worthy of several photos Alsospectacular were the scenes that were on show ndashhuge displays depicting glorious battles betweenman and beast alien and space marine So muchcreativity had gone into producing these and it washere for us to enjoy free of charge

Warhammer World also features Bugmanrsquos Bar a cosy place with an extensive menu featuring meals such as The Foul Hynglysh (Fried Dragon Breakfast) the ldquoFat Blokerdquo burger (particularly appealing to me) and serving licensed drinks tea coffee

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

MATISSE ndash CUT OUTS EXHIBITION 100514

This much vaunted exhibition eventually lived up to its promise It was crowded and led oneto wondering about the ticketing policy Basically it was during the latter stages of Matissersquoslife where despite a debilitating illness he decided on experimenting with decoupageSome were mixed with painting others just cut outs attached with pins (this part was keptsecret)

It is something one needs to see really rather than look at on TV or in magazines There were18 different sections All with different themes There were parakeets A Creole dancer Therewere whole rooms with wall paper designed by him There were lithographs (prints) andmaquettes The Snail is done in just blocks of colour which are too simplistic for everyonersquostaste

Visually the exhibition could be viewed either as stunning or child like One must considerthat there was already an impressive body of work behind MatisseBut conversely at the end one was left to consider what is the influence of Matisse oncurrent practice - it is non-existent The excuse that he is not socially relevant can be addedto your complaint Complaining about works for lacking social relevance is probably validbut dismissing them for it or saying they are not proper pictures is absurd -who is to say atwhat moment someone like Matisses work may become relevant enough to impactenough on society to make a difference - and your idea of a proper picture is just that

No one has commented on how crowded this exhibition getsHas Tate sold too many tickets Or is it buzzing without being oppressiveIs it possible to stand back to get a good view of the art Or would that just give you a viewof rows (and rows) of people jostling around

Come and join us for an insight into the wines chosen by the buyers The cost will be around pound7 forHASSRA Leeds members

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

MATISSE ndash CUT OUTS EXHIBITION 100514

This much vaunted exhibition eventually lived up to its promise It was crowded and led oneto wondering about the ticketing policy Basically it was during the latter stages of Matissersquoslife where despite a debilitating illness he decided on experimenting with decoupageSome were mixed with painting others just cut outs attached with pins (this part was keptsecret)

It is something one needs to see really rather than look at on TV or in magazines There were18 different sections All with different themes There were parakeets A Creole dancer Therewere whole rooms with wall paper designed by him There were lithographs (prints) andmaquettes The Snail is done in just blocks of colour which are too simplistic for everyonersquostaste

Visually the exhibition could be viewed either as stunning or child like One must considerthat there was already an impressive body of work behind MatisseBut conversely at the end one was left to consider what is the influence of Matisse oncurrent practice - it is non-existent The excuse that he is not socially relevant can be addedto your complaint Complaining about works for lacking social relevance is probably validbut dismissing them for it or saying they are not proper pictures is absurd -who is to say atwhat moment someone like Matisses work may become relevant enough to impactenough on society to make a difference - and your idea of a proper picture is just that

No one has commented on how crowded this exhibition getsHas Tate sold too many tickets Or is it buzzing without being oppressiveIs it possible to stand back to get a good view of the art Or would that just give you a viewof rows (and rows) of people jostling around

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Edition Warhammer 40k which is the game weplayed todayMy first surprise was that we were not going to aGames Workshop on the high street WarhammerWorld is a huge warehouse sited on an industrialestate next to the Games Workshop HQ and theminiature making factory Outside is a life-sizereplica of a Space Marine Rhino It is very wellmade and hugely impressive All say cheese for the1st photo of the day

We ventured inside and straight upstairs to theCitadel Miniatures Hall This is a large room filled withwall to wall showcases displaying the finestminiatures and examples of painting that I had everseen in my life Featuring all the armies from Fantasyand 40k and Games Workshoprsquos other flagshipgame The Hobbit I felt like a kid in a sweet shopstaring in awe at the work and artistry that hadgone into producing figures of such high standardTruly inspiring and worthy of several photos Alsospectacular were the scenes that were on show ndashhuge displays depicting glorious battles betweenman and beast alien and space marine So muchcreativity had gone into producing these and it washere for us to enjoy free of charge

We dragged ourselves away and explored the restof the facilities The gaming hall itself features 14large custom built tables which are all extremelydetailed and feature-laden One table had abridge separating zones The bridge had dynamitestuffed underneath it and closer inspectionrevealed the detonator Very well thought out andlavish They are also big The hall is filled with othertables too still well featured but smaller There isalso a Games Workshop retail outlet whose staffwere very friendly and knowledgeable It is home toForge World a Games Workshop miniatureproducing off-shoot If they donrsquot have the item youwant in stock they can ldquoforgerdquo it for you on theday Credit cards were flexed

Warhammer World also features Bugmanrsquos Bar a cosy place with an extensive menu featuring meals such as The Foul Hynglysh (Fried Dragon Breakfast) the ldquoFat Blokerdquo burger (particularly appealing to me) and serving licensed drinks tea coffee

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

MATISSE ndash CUT OUTS EXHIBITION 100514

This much vaunted exhibition eventually lived up to its promise It was crowded and led oneto wondering about the ticketing policy Basically it was during the latter stages of Matissersquoslife where despite a debilitating illness he decided on experimenting with decoupageSome were mixed with painting others just cut outs attached with pins (this part was keptsecret)

It is something one needs to see really rather than look at on TV or in magazines There were18 different sections All with different themes There were parakeets A Creole dancer Therewere whole rooms with wall paper designed by him There were lithographs (prints) andmaquettes The Snail is done in just blocks of colour which are too simplistic for everyonersquostaste

Visually the exhibition could be viewed either as stunning or child like One must considerthat there was already an impressive body of work behind MatisseBut conversely at the end one was left to consider what is the influence of Matisse oncurrent practice - it is non-existent The excuse that he is not socially relevant can be addedto your complaint Complaining about works for lacking social relevance is probably validbut dismissing them for it or saying they are not proper pictures is absurd -who is to say atwhat moment someone like Matisses work may become relevant enough to impactenough on society to make a difference - and your idea of a proper picture is just that

No one has commented on how crowded this exhibition getsHas Tate sold too many tickets Or is it buzzing without being oppressiveIs it possible to stand back to get a good view of the art Or would that just give you a viewof rows (and rows) of people jostling around

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

MATISSE ndash CUT OUTS EXHIBITION 100514

This much vaunted exhibition eventually lived up to its promise It was crowded and led oneto wondering about the ticketing policy Basically it was during the latter stages of Matissersquoslife where despite a debilitating illness he decided on experimenting with decoupageSome were mixed with painting others just cut outs attached with pins (this part was keptsecret)

It is something one needs to see really rather than look at on TV or in magazines There were18 different sections All with different themes There were parakeets A Creole dancer Therewere whole rooms with wall paper designed by him There were lithographs (prints) andmaquettes The Snail is done in just blocks of colour which are too simplistic for everyonersquostaste

Visually the exhibition could be viewed either as stunning or child like One must considerthat there was already an impressive body of work behind MatisseBut conversely at the end one was left to consider what is the influence of Matisse oncurrent practice - it is non-existent The excuse that he is not socially relevant can be addedto your complaint Complaining about works for lacking social relevance is probably validbut dismissing them for it or saying they are not proper pictures is absurd -who is to say atwhat moment someone like Matisses work may become relevant enough to impactenough on society to make a difference - and your idea of a proper picture is just that

No one has commented on how crowded this exhibition getsHas Tate sold too many tickets Or is it buzzing without being oppressiveIs it possible to stand back to get a good view of the art Or would that just give you a viewof rows (and rows) of people jostling around

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

MATISSE ndash CUT OUTS EXHIBITION 100514

This much vaunted exhibition eventually lived up to its promise It was crowded and led oneto wondering about the ticketing policy Basically it was during the latter stages of Matissersquoslife where despite a debilitating illness he decided on experimenting with decoupageSome were mixed with painting others just cut outs attached with pins (this part was keptsecret)

It is something one needs to see really rather than look at on TV or in magazines There were18 different sections All with different themes There were parakeets A Creole dancer Therewere whole rooms with wall paper designed by him There were lithographs (prints) andmaquettes The Snail is done in just blocks of colour which are too simplistic for everyonersquostaste

Visually the exhibition could be viewed either as stunning or child like One must considerthat there was already an impressive body of work behind MatisseBut conversely at the end one was left to consider what is the influence of Matisse oncurrent practice - it is non-existent The excuse that he is not socially relevant can be addedto your complaint Complaining about works for lacking social relevance is probably validbut dismissing them for it or saying they are not proper pictures is absurd -who is to say atwhat moment someone like Matisses work may become relevant enough to impactenough on society to make a difference - and your idea of a proper picture is just that

No one has commented on how crowded this exhibition getsHas Tate sold too many tickets Or is it buzzing without being oppressiveIs it possible to stand back to get a good view of the art Or would that just give you a viewof rows (and rows) of people jostling around

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Edition Warhammer 40k which is the game weplayed todayMy first surprise was that we were not going to aGames Workshop on the high street WarhammerWorld is a huge warehouse sited on an industrialestate next to the Games Workshop HQ and theminiature making factory Outside is a life-sizereplica of a Space Marine Rhino It is very wellmade and hugely impressive All say cheese for the1st photo of the day

We ventured inside and straight upstairs to theCitadel Miniatures Hall This is a large room filled withwall to wall showcases displaying the finestminiatures and examples of painting that I had everseen in my life Featuring all the armies from Fantasyand 40k and Games Workshoprsquos other flagshipgame The Hobbit I felt like a kid in a sweet shopstaring in awe at the work and artistry that hadgone into producing figures of such high standardTruly inspiring and worthy of several photos Alsospectacular were the scenes that were on show ndashhuge displays depicting glorious battles betweenman and beast alien and space marine So muchcreativity had gone into producing these and it washere for us to enjoy free of charge

We dragged ourselves away and explored the restof the facilities The gaming hall itself features 14large custom built tables which are all extremelydetailed and feature-laden One table had abridge separating zones The bridge had dynamitestuffed underneath it and closer inspectionrevealed the detonator Very well thought out andlavish They are also big The hall is filled with othertables too still well featured but smaller There isalso a Games Workshop retail outlet whose staffwere very friendly and knowledgeable It is home toForge World a Games Workshop miniatureproducing off-shoot If they donrsquot have the item youwant in stock they can ldquoforgerdquo it for you on theday Credit cards were flexed

Warhammer World also features Bugmanrsquos Bar a cosy place with an extensive menu featuring meals such as The Foul Hynglysh (Fried Dragon Breakfast) the ldquoFat Blokerdquo burger (particularly appealing to me) and serving licensed drinks tea coffee

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

MATISSE ndash CUT OUTS EXHIBITION 100514

This much vaunted exhibition eventually lived up to its promise It was crowded and led oneto wondering about the ticketing policy Basically it was during the latter stages of Matissersquoslife where despite a debilitating illness he decided on experimenting with decoupageSome were mixed with painting others just cut outs attached with pins (this part was keptsecret)

It is something one needs to see really rather than look at on TV or in magazines There were18 different sections All with different themes There were parakeets A Creole dancer Therewere whole rooms with wall paper designed by him There were lithographs (prints) andmaquettes The Snail is done in just blocks of colour which are too simplistic for everyonersquostaste

Visually the exhibition could be viewed either as stunning or child like One must considerthat there was already an impressive body of work behind MatisseBut conversely at the end one was left to consider what is the influence of Matisse oncurrent practice - it is non-existent The excuse that he is not socially relevant can be addedto your complaint Complaining about works for lacking social relevance is probably validbut dismissing them for it or saying they are not proper pictures is absurd -who is to say atwhat moment someone like Matisses work may become relevant enough to impactenough on society to make a difference - and your idea of a proper picture is just that

No one has commented on how crowded this exhibition getsHas Tate sold too many tickets Or is it buzzing without being oppressiveIs it possible to stand back to get a good view of the art Or would that just give you a viewof rows (and rows) of people jostling around

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Itrsquos easy to imagine that the people who buy wine professionally only drink the most magnificent andexpensive wines But when they are entertaining or just having a quiet drink at home they all have theirown favourite wines that they drink for pleasure

Recently the Wine Society held a members tasting in Leeds where the buyers presented their ownpersonal favourites and on 6th June the Wine Club will be trying 2 whites and 4 reds from that collectionThe whites are a top class Alsace Gewurtztraminer and a superb Australian Riesling The reds start with atraditional Rioja followed by a rare example of 100 Carignan from 50 year old vines from Chile Thenwe end with a Zinfandel from California and a Chateauneuf-du-Pape from France

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Come and join us for an insight into the wines chosen by the buyers The cost will be around pound7 forHASSRA Leeds members

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Come and join us for an insight into the wines chosen by the buyers The cost will be around pound7 forHASSRA Leeds members

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Come and join us for an insight into the wines chosen by the buyers The cost will be around pound7 forHASSRA Leeds members

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Edition Warhammer 40k which is the game weplayed todayMy first surprise was that we were not going to aGames Workshop on the high street WarhammerWorld is a huge warehouse sited on an industrialestate next to the Games Workshop HQ and theminiature making factory Outside is a life-sizereplica of a Space Marine Rhino It is very wellmade and hugely impressive All say cheese for the1st photo of the day

We ventured inside and straight upstairs to theCitadel Miniatures Hall This is a large room filled withwall to wall showcases displaying the finestminiatures and examples of painting that I had everseen in my life Featuring all the armies from Fantasyand 40k and Games Workshoprsquos other flagshipgame The Hobbit I felt like a kid in a sweet shopstaring in awe at the work and artistry that hadgone into producing figures of such high standardTruly inspiring and worthy of several photos Alsospectacular were the scenes that were on show ndashhuge displays depicting glorious battles betweenman and beast alien and space marine So muchcreativity had gone into producing these and it washere for us to enjoy free of charge

We dragged ourselves away and explored the restof the facilities The gaming hall itself features 14large custom built tables which are all extremelydetailed and feature-laden One table had abridge separating zones The bridge had dynamitestuffed underneath it and closer inspectionrevealed the detonator Very well thought out andlavish They are also big The hall is filled with othertables too still well featured but smaller There isalso a Games Workshop retail outlet whose staffwere very friendly and knowledgeable It is home toForge World a Games Workshop miniatureproducing off-shoot If they donrsquot have the item youwant in stock they can ldquoforgerdquo it for you on theday Credit cards were flexed

Warhammer World also features Bugmanrsquos Bar a cosy place with an extensive menu featuring meals such as The Foul Hynglysh (Fried Dragon Breakfast) the ldquoFat Blokerdquo burger (particularly appealing to me) and serving licensed drinks tea coffee

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

For those of you who may not know WarhammerWorld is Games Workshoprsquos flagship hobby centrededicated to fans of table-top war gamingfeaturing Citadel Miniatures Warhammer FantasyWarhammer 40k and the associated memorabiliaAs avid Warhammer 40k players we decided a fewmonths ago that a trip to the hallowed ground waslong overdue and needed to be sorted out Oncewe agreed on a date it was simple matter ofbooking a gaming table planning army lists andwriting a campaign that would suit the setting ofthe gaming tableGames Workshop has been around for a long timefounded in the mid 1970rsquos In 1979 they started toproduce Citadel Miniatures ndash 25mm sizedrepresentations of all manner of otherworldlyfantastical being be it dragons warriors elvesdwarves orks and such like Originally aimed asrole-playing and Dungeons amp Dragons tools theybranched out into table-top war gaming andreleased Warhammer Fantasy Battle in 1983 Thisgame was based upon traditional fantasy setting In1987 Warhammer 40k was released ndash a futuristicarena for table-top battles between enhancedsuper-human warriors aliens robots and orksGames Workshop has since released updatedversions of all of these games and is currently on 6th

Edition Warhammer 40k which is the game weplayed todayMy first surprise was that we were not going to aGames Workshop on the high street WarhammerWorld is a huge warehouse sited on an industrialestate next to the Games Workshop HQ and theminiature making factory Outside is a life-sizereplica of a Space Marine Rhino It is very wellmade and hugely impressive All say cheese for the1st photo of the day

We ventured inside and straight upstairs to theCitadel Miniatures Hall This is a large room filled withwall to wall showcases displaying the finestminiatures and examples of painting that I had everseen in my life Featuring all the armies from Fantasyand 40k and Games Workshoprsquos other flagshipgame The Hobbit I felt like a kid in a sweet shopstaring in awe at the work and artistry that hadgone into producing figures of such high standardTruly inspiring and worthy of several photos Alsospectacular were the scenes that were on show ndashhuge displays depicting glorious battles betweenman and beast alien and space marine So muchcreativity had gone into producing these and it washere for us to enjoy free of charge

We dragged ourselves away and explored the restof the facilities The gaming hall itself features 14large custom built tables which are all extremelydetailed and feature-laden One table had abridge separating zones The bridge had dynamitestuffed underneath it and closer inspectionrevealed the detonator Very well thought out andlavish They are also big The hall is filled with othertables too still well featured but smaller There isalso a Games Workshop retail outlet whose staffwere very friendly and knowledgeable It is home toForge World a Games Workshop miniatureproducing off-shoot If they donrsquot have the item youwant in stock they can ldquoforgerdquo it for you on theday Credit cards were flexed

Warhammer World also features Bugmanrsquos Bar a cosy place with an extensive menu featuring meals such as The Foul Hynglysh (Fried Dragon Breakfast) the ldquoFat Blokerdquo burger (particularly appealing to me) and serving licensed drinks tea coffee

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

units in Warhammer40k have a set amountof distance that theycan move in a turn soit took a while for someof them to get intocombatEach army in play hada quest to achievewith the aim ofcollectingcontrollingas many otherobjectives along theway As there were 4of us we had an armyeach but had agreed alliances before we startedThese alliances generally complimented eachother well and helped each other out Time for uswas short as we needed to get back to Leeds sowe unfortunately did not finish the game It endedas a draw which I think we were all happy withAs fans of the game and of Games Workshop weall decided that we had a thoroughly enjoyableday and that we want to do this again We havetested the water and now know what to expect socan plan differently to allow us more playing timeOn a personal note I really enjoyed thecamaraderie of it all being with like-mindedpeople (geeks) and sharing experiences living in athe Warhammer world for a time and feeling like Iwas where it all began I also found it refreshing tosee such a mix of ages there older guys like us andsons gaming against their dads So much healthierthan sitting in front of a TV playing the latest X-BoxgameTime to start planning the next trip hopefully inSeptember Watch this space for more detailsIf you would like to learn more about our hobbyand the other games we play please contactMartin Brown (martinbrown1dwpgsigovuk or0113 232 4183) or Stuart Wiltshire(stuartwiltshiredwpgsigovuk or 0113 232 7251)

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Edition Warhammer 40k which is the game weplayed todayMy first surprise was that we were not going to aGames Workshop on the high street WarhammerWorld is a huge warehouse sited on an industrialestate next to the Games Workshop HQ and theminiature making factory Outside is a life-sizereplica of a Space Marine Rhino It is very wellmade and hugely impressive All say cheese for the1st photo of the day

We ventured inside and straight upstairs to theCitadel Miniatures Hall This is a large room filled withwall to wall showcases displaying the finestminiatures and examples of painting that I had everseen in my life Featuring all the armies from Fantasyand 40k and Games Workshoprsquos other flagshipgame The Hobbit I felt like a kid in a sweet shopstaring in awe at the work and artistry that hadgone into producing figures of such high standardTruly inspiring and worthy of several photos Alsospectacular were the scenes that were on show ndashhuge displays depicting glorious battles betweenman and beast alien and space marine So muchcreativity had gone into producing these and it washere for us to enjoy free of charge

We dragged ourselves away and explored the restof the facilities The gaming hall itself features 14large custom built tables which are all extremelydetailed and feature-laden One table had abridge separating zones The bridge had dynamitestuffed underneath it and closer inspectionrevealed the detonator Very well thought out andlavish They are also big The hall is filled with othertables too still well featured but smaller There isalso a Games Workshop retail outlet whose staffwere very friendly and knowledgeable It is home toForge World a Games Workshop miniatureproducing off-shoot If they donrsquot have the item youwant in stock they can ldquoforgerdquo it for you on theday Credit cards were flexed

Warhammer World also features Bugmanrsquos Bar a cosy place with an extensive menu featuring meals such as The Foul Hynglysh (Fried Dragon Breakfast) the ldquoFat Blokerdquo burger (particularly appealing to me) and serving licensed drinks tea coffee

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

units in Warhammer40k have a set amountof distance that theycan move in a turn soit took a while for someof them to get intocombatEach army in play hada quest to achievewith the aim ofcollectingcontrollingas many otherobjectives along theway As there were 4of us we had an armyeach but had agreed alliances before we startedThese alliances generally complimented eachother well and helped each other out Time for uswas short as we needed to get back to Leeds sowe unfortunately did not finish the game It endedas a draw which I think we were all happy withAs fans of the game and of Games Workshop weall decided that we had a thoroughly enjoyableday and that we want to do this again We havetested the water and now know what to expect socan plan differently to allow us more playing timeOn a personal note I really enjoyed thecamaraderie of it all being with like-mindedpeople (geeks) and sharing experiences living in athe Warhammer world for a time and feeling like Iwas where it all began I also found it refreshing tosee such a mix of ages there older guys like us andsons gaming against their dads So much healthierthan sitting in front of a TV playing the latest X-BoxgameTime to start planning the next trip hopefully inSeptember Watch this space for more detailsIf you would like to learn more about our hobbyand the other games we play please contactMartin Brown (martinbrown1dwpgsigovuk or0113 232 4183) or Stuart Wiltshire(stuartwiltshiredwpgsigovuk or 0113 232 7251)

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Come and join us for an insight into the wines chosen by the buyers The cost will be around pound7 forHASSRA Leeds members

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Edition Warhammer 40k which is the game weplayed todayMy first surprise was that we were not going to aGames Workshop on the high street WarhammerWorld is a huge warehouse sited on an industrialestate next to the Games Workshop HQ and theminiature making factory Outside is a life-sizereplica of a Space Marine Rhino It is very wellmade and hugely impressive All say cheese for the1st photo of the day

We ventured inside and straight upstairs to theCitadel Miniatures Hall This is a large room filled withwall to wall showcases displaying the finestminiatures and examples of painting that I had everseen in my life Featuring all the armies from Fantasyand 40k and Games Workshoprsquos other flagshipgame The Hobbit I felt like a kid in a sweet shopstaring in awe at the work and artistry that hadgone into producing figures of such high standardTruly inspiring and worthy of several photos Alsospectacular were the scenes that were on show ndashhuge displays depicting glorious battles betweenman and beast alien and space marine So muchcreativity had gone into producing these and it washere for us to enjoy free of charge

We dragged ourselves away and explored the restof the facilities The gaming hall itself features 14large custom built tables which are all extremelydetailed and feature-laden One table had abridge separating zones The bridge had dynamitestuffed underneath it and closer inspectionrevealed the detonator Very well thought out andlavish They are also big The hall is filled with othertables too still well featured but smaller There isalso a Games Workshop retail outlet whose staffwere very friendly and knowledgeable It is home toForge World a Games Workshop miniatureproducing off-shoot If they donrsquot have the item youwant in stock they can ldquoforgerdquo it for you on theday Credit cards were flexed

Warhammer World also features Bugmanrsquos Bar a cosy place with an extensive menu featuring meals such as The Foul Hynglysh (Fried Dragon Breakfast) the ldquoFat Blokerdquo burger (particularly appealing to me) and serving licensed drinks tea coffee

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

units in Warhammer40k have a set amountof distance that theycan move in a turn soit took a while for someof them to get intocombatEach army in play hada quest to achievewith the aim ofcollectingcontrollingas many otherobjectives along theway As there were 4of us we had an armyeach but had agreed alliances before we startedThese alliances generally complimented eachother well and helped each other out Time for uswas short as we needed to get back to Leeds sowe unfortunately did not finish the game It endedas a draw which I think we were all happy withAs fans of the game and of Games Workshop weall decided that we had a thoroughly enjoyableday and that we want to do this again We havetested the water and now know what to expect socan plan differently to allow us more playing timeOn a personal note I really enjoyed thecamaraderie of it all being with like-mindedpeople (geeks) and sharing experiences living in athe Warhammer world for a time and feeling like Iwas where it all began I also found it refreshing tosee such a mix of ages there older guys like us andsons gaming against their dads So much healthierthan sitting in front of a TV playing the latest X-BoxgameTime to start planning the next trip hopefully inSeptember Watch this space for more detailsIf you would like to learn more about our hobbyand the other games we play please contactMartin Brown (martinbrown1dwpgsigovuk or0113 232 4183) or Stuart Wiltshire(stuartwiltshiredwpgsigovuk or 0113 232 7251)

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Come and join us for an insight into the wines chosen by the buyers The cost will be around pound7 forHASSRA Leeds members

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

For those of you who may not know WarhammerWorld is Games Workshoprsquos flagship hobby centrededicated to fans of table-top war gamingfeaturing Citadel Miniatures Warhammer FantasyWarhammer 40k and the associated memorabiliaAs avid Warhammer 40k players we decided a fewmonths ago that a trip to the hallowed ground waslong overdue and needed to be sorted out Oncewe agreed on a date it was simple matter ofbooking a gaming table planning army lists andwriting a campaign that would suit the setting ofthe gaming tableGames Workshop has been around for a long timefounded in the mid 1970rsquos In 1979 they started toproduce Citadel Miniatures ndash 25mm sizedrepresentations of all manner of otherworldlyfantastical being be it dragons warriors elvesdwarves orks and such like Originally aimed asrole-playing and Dungeons amp Dragons tools theybranched out into table-top war gaming andreleased Warhammer Fantasy Battle in 1983 Thisgame was based upon traditional fantasy setting In1987 Warhammer 40k was released ndash a futuristicarena for table-top battles between enhancedsuper-human warriors aliens robots and orksGames Workshop has since released updatedversions of all of these games and is currently on 6th

Edition Warhammer 40k which is the game weplayed todayMy first surprise was that we were not going to aGames Workshop on the high street WarhammerWorld is a huge warehouse sited on an industrialestate next to the Games Workshop HQ and theminiature making factory Outside is a life-sizereplica of a Space Marine Rhino It is very wellmade and hugely impressive All say cheese for the1st photo of the day

We ventured inside and straight upstairs to theCitadel Miniatures Hall This is a large room filled withwall to wall showcases displaying the finestminiatures and examples of painting that I had everseen in my life Featuring all the armies from Fantasyand 40k and Games Workshoprsquos other flagshipgame The Hobbit I felt like a kid in a sweet shopstaring in awe at the work and artistry that hadgone into producing figures of such high standardTruly inspiring and worthy of several photos Alsospectacular were the scenes that were on show ndashhuge displays depicting glorious battles betweenman and beast alien and space marine So muchcreativity had gone into producing these and it washere for us to enjoy free of charge

We dragged ourselves away and explored the restof the facilities The gaming hall itself features 14large custom built tables which are all extremelydetailed and feature-laden One table had abridge separating zones The bridge had dynamitestuffed underneath it and closer inspectionrevealed the detonator Very well thought out andlavish They are also big The hall is filled with othertables too still well featured but smaller There isalso a Games Workshop retail outlet whose staffwere very friendly and knowledgeable It is home toForge World a Games Workshop miniatureproducing off-shoot If they donrsquot have the item youwant in stock they can ldquoforgerdquo it for you on theday Credit cards were flexed

Warhammer World also features Bugmanrsquos Bar a cosy place with an extensive menu featuring meals such as The Foul Hynglysh (Fried Dragon Breakfast) the ldquoFat Blokerdquo burger (particularly appealing to me) and serving licensed drinks tea coffee

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

units in Warhammer40k have a set amountof distance that theycan move in a turn soit took a while for someof them to get intocombatEach army in play hada quest to achievewith the aim ofcollectingcontrollingas many otherobjectives along theway As there were 4of us we had an armyeach but had agreed alliances before we startedThese alliances generally complimented eachother well and helped each other out Time for uswas short as we needed to get back to Leeds sowe unfortunately did not finish the game It endedas a draw which I think we were all happy withAs fans of the game and of Games Workshop weall decided that we had a thoroughly enjoyableday and that we want to do this again We havetested the water and now know what to expect socan plan differently to allow us more playing timeOn a personal note I really enjoyed thecamaraderie of it all being with like-mindedpeople (geeks) and sharing experiences living in athe Warhammer world for a time and feeling like Iwas where it all began I also found it refreshing tosee such a mix of ages there older guys like us andsons gaming against their dads So much healthierthan sitting in front of a TV playing the latest X-BoxgameTime to start planning the next trip hopefully inSeptember Watch this space for more detailsIf you would like to learn more about our hobbyand the other games we play please contactMartin Brown (martinbrown1dwpgsigovuk or0113 232 4183) or Stuart Wiltshire(stuartwiltshiredwpgsigovuk or 0113 232 7251)

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Come and join us for an insight into the wines chosen by the buyers The cost will be around pound7 forHASSRA Leeds members

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Edition Warhammer 40k which is the game weplayed todayMy first surprise was that we were not going to aGames Workshop on the high street WarhammerWorld is a huge warehouse sited on an industrialestate next to the Games Workshop HQ and theminiature making factory Outside is a life-sizereplica of a Space Marine Rhino It is very wellmade and hugely impressive All say cheese for the1st photo of the day

We ventured inside and straight upstairs to theCitadel Miniatures Hall This is a large room filled withwall to wall showcases displaying the finestminiatures and examples of painting that I had everseen in my life Featuring all the armies from Fantasyand 40k and Games Workshoprsquos other flagshipgame The Hobbit I felt like a kid in a sweet shopstaring in awe at the work and artistry that hadgone into producing figures of such high standardTruly inspiring and worthy of several photos Alsospectacular were the scenes that were on show ndashhuge displays depicting glorious battles betweenman and beast alien and space marine So muchcreativity had gone into producing these and it washere for us to enjoy free of charge

We dragged ourselves away and explored the restof the facilities The gaming hall itself features 14large custom built tables which are all extremelydetailed and feature-laden One table had abridge separating zones The bridge had dynamitestuffed underneath it and closer inspectionrevealed the detonator Very well thought out andlavish They are also big The hall is filled with othertables too still well featured but smaller There isalso a Games Workshop retail outlet whose staffwere very friendly and knowledgeable It is home toForge World a Games Workshop miniatureproducing off-shoot If they donrsquot have the item youwant in stock they can ldquoforgerdquo it for you on theday Credit cards were flexed

Warhammer World also features Bugmanrsquos Bar a cosy place with an extensive menu featuring meals such as The Foul Hynglysh (Fried Dragon Breakfast) the ldquoFat Blokerdquo burger (particularly appealing to me) and serving licensed drinks tea coffee

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

units in Warhammer40k have a set amountof distance that theycan move in a turn soit took a while for someof them to get intocombatEach army in play hada quest to achievewith the aim ofcollectingcontrollingas many otherobjectives along theway As there were 4of us we had an armyeach but had agreed alliances before we startedThese alliances generally complimented eachother well and helped each other out Time for uswas short as we needed to get back to Leeds sowe unfortunately did not finish the game It endedas a draw which I think we were all happy withAs fans of the game and of Games Workshop weall decided that we had a thoroughly enjoyableday and that we want to do this again We havetested the water and now know what to expect socan plan differently to allow us more playing timeOn a personal note I really enjoyed thecamaraderie of it all being with like-mindedpeople (geeks) and sharing experiences living in athe Warhammer world for a time and feeling like Iwas where it all began I also found it refreshing tosee such a mix of ages there older guys like us andsons gaming against their dads So much healthierthan sitting in front of a TV playing the latest X-BoxgameTime to start planning the next trip hopefully inSeptember Watch this space for more detailsIf you would like to learn more about our hobbyand the other games we play please contactMartin Brown (martinbrown1dwpgsigovuk or0113 232 4183) or Stuart Wiltshire(stuartwiltshiredwpgsigovuk or 0113 232 7251)

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

The idea of creating a choir at Quarry Housewas the result of Gareth Malonersquos concept offorming office based choirs

Elaine Arnott agreed to co-ordinate theformation of a choir 18 months ago andasked for volunteers It was not a requirementto have great musical ability but simply tosing with colleagues who had mixed abilitiesChoirs are only as good as their musicaldirector and accompanist so Elaine obtainedthe services of Jane Edwardson and ChrisLloyd on keyboards not to mention FrancesBernstein who directs when Jane isnrsquotavailable

In the beginning it was obvious that it wouldtake a while before the choir was ready toperform in public but since its inception hascome on leaps and bounds We had aperformance in the garden last summer andat Christmas the choir gave two miniperformances at Quarry House and at asenior citizens lunch in Leeds

What the choir needed to take them to thenext level was a big public performance andthe invitation to sing at the HASSRA NationalAward ceremony in York couldnrsquot havecome at a better time Jane chose anexcellent programme although some of thesongs were challenging She produced alearning cd for each member of the choir sothat they could practice at home to ensurethat the harmonies were accurate

On the day of the event several choirmembers were anxious as they had neversung in public before The choir sang a SouthAfrican song called Thula Sizwe Lean on Meby Bill Withers and Coldplayrsquos Viva la VidaTheir worries about how the audience ofabout 200 would react to their performancewere soon dispelled and received a standingovation at the end of their performanceFeedback was very encouraging severalmembers of the audience said they wereamazed at the quality of the singing andwhat had been achieved in a short period oftime

The choir at York consisted of 16 membersbut membership is open to anyone who is amember of HASSRA Leeds with most of oursingers based in Quarry House or recentlyretired The choir meets at the WoodpeckerBar each Thursday lunchtime at 1pm theonly requirement is that you are a HASSRAmember Every choir member has had a lotof enjoyment from singing in the choir andthe reaction of the audience at York madeall their hard work worthwhileThe choir is busy planning their nextperformance in the summer

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Edition Warhammer 40k which is the game weplayed todayMy first surprise was that we were not going to aGames Workshop on the high street WarhammerWorld is a huge warehouse sited on an industrialestate next to the Games Workshop HQ and theminiature making factory Outside is a life-sizereplica of a Space Marine Rhino It is very wellmade and hugely impressive All say cheese for the1st photo of the day

We ventured inside and straight upstairs to theCitadel Miniatures Hall This is a large room filled withwall to wall showcases displaying the finestminiatures and examples of painting that I had everseen in my life Featuring all the armies from Fantasyand 40k and Games Workshoprsquos other flagshipgame The Hobbit I felt like a kid in a sweet shopstaring in awe at the work and artistry that hadgone into producing figures of such high standardTruly inspiring and worthy of several photos Alsospectacular were the scenes that were on show ndashhuge displays depicting glorious battles betweenman and beast alien and space marine So muchcreativity had gone into producing these and it washere for us to enjoy free of charge

We dragged ourselves away and explored the restof the facilities The gaming hall itself features 14large custom built tables which are all extremelydetailed and feature-laden One table had abridge separating zones The bridge had dynamitestuffed underneath it and closer inspectionrevealed the detonator Very well thought out andlavish They are also big The hall is filled with othertables too still well featured but smaller There isalso a Games Workshop retail outlet whose staffwere very friendly and knowledgeable It is home toForge World a Games Workshop miniatureproducing off-shoot If they donrsquot have the item youwant in stock they can ldquoforgerdquo it for you on theday Credit cards were flexed

Warhammer World also features Bugmanrsquos Bar a cosy place with an extensive menu featuring meals such as The Foul Hynglysh (Fried Dragon Breakfast) the ldquoFat Blokerdquo burger (particularly appealing to me) and serving licensed drinks tea coffee

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Warhammer World also features Bugmanrsquos Bar a cosy place with an extensive menu featuring meals such as The Foul Hynglysh (Fried Dragon Breakfast) the ldquoFat Blokerdquo burger (particularly appealing to me) and serving licensed drinks tea coffee

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Re-StringingLesson

Come along for a one off session on how to re-string your guitarproperly Bring along your acoustic classical or electric guitar

- When strings are on properly your guitar will hold itrsquos tuning better

- Your guitar will make a brighter and clearer tone with new strings

- The new strings will feel nicer on your fingers and will feel less sharp

- News strings should also lengthen the life-span of your frets

- You might be surprised how much better your guitar sounds

You need to change your strings regularly depending on how oftenyou play your guitar Some strings last longer than others

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time

milkshake and smoothies The bar was quite busyand we suspected used by the vast array of GamesWorkshop staff This all contributed to a greatatmosphere As time was running short wegrabbed some drinks and cake and headed off towarOur table was called Fort Pain ndash a giant 12rsquo x 6rsquoNone of us had played on a table as big as thisbefore and consequently our game took a littlelonger to get going than we had first planned All

Film Review

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARYAdapted from the book by Patricia Highsmith a taut psychological thriller

Stylish and sexy set in 1962

Three attractive characters meet in Athens The couple are on holiday andseem to have no problems except having an enjoyable time They meet Rydala kind of tour guide who speaks many different languages and knows the localculture He is American too and seemingly quite charming He helps ChesterMcFarlane (Mortensen) to buys a gold cretan bracelet whilst keeping some ofthe money for himself He seems drawn magnetically to the couple ColetteMcFarlane played by Kirsten Dunst Itrsquos tricky to work out who is doing whatand there are obvious shades of the Talented Mr Ripley here Rydal becomesdrawn to Colette who reciprocates the feelings after she begins to realise thatChesterlsquos situation is not what it seems

This is duplicity on a multitudinous scale The plot is superb and will keep you onthe edge of your seat There were many twists and turns Definitely worthpound850 Though itrsquoll probably be on DVD in 6 months time
