November Nuggets

Here are our offerings for November. If you have a suggestion, please let us know and we will add it to the list.

November 23 Christmas Market, Ludlow
This a destination which offers something for everybody; history, shops, brewery, markets, medieval (craft) fair, castle, architecture!  In short, a place where you can walk around and not get bored. Ludlow is about an hour and a half drive away, so we have looked into hiring a coach to get those who are interested to and from there.  The idea is to leave around 9:30 am and return at 9:00 pm, leaving enough time to explore the town, have an evening meal there and get back at a reasonable time.  As this would double up as our Christmas event, NTC will contribute towards the cost of the transport, keeping it at a very reasonable price of £10/pp. If you would like to join us please contact Renee van der Laan.



Other Suggestions
---------------------------
Here are some other events that are on in November. If you are interested in any of them, perhaps you would like to choose a date that is good for you and email the other members to see if anyone would like to join you. 

November 15 - 17 Chester Arts Fair, Chester Race Course  A high calibre of local, national and international Artists and Independent Art Galleries will be featuring at the event, including Sir Peter Blake, Kerry Darlington (No 1 Best Selling Published Artist in the UK 2012) and Nick Elphick (who was commissioned to sculpt the Queen for the Jubilee last year as well as the Olympians), with work by artists such as Antony Gormley and Michael Bennett also featuring. Featuring a wealth of paintings, photography, sculpture, glass, ceramics and original prints, all shown in a friendly and relaxed environment, the Chester Art Fair really does have something for everyone.
