LMHS is delighted to announce that a grant worth £20,000 has been awarded by the Lloyds TSB Foundation to fund the training project All Sewn Up to run a subsidised City & Guilds course for the next two years. The course – in design and craft, soft furnishing and curtain-making, will start in January and run until December for 2011 and 2012. There will be provision for 12 students to attend the class and criteria will need to be met in order to qualify for the sought after subsidised places.  Furthermore All Sewn Up will offer a full cost evening City & Guild class open to all.

All Sewn Up celebrates its 20th anniversary in December this year, so it is fitting news that we are once more able to offer these courses to those who would otherwise not benefit. If you would like to find out more about the criteria for applying please contact All Sewn Up on 020 7793 1110. And for updated information about courses go to www.lmhs.org.uk

FUNDING NEEDED:  Although the course is now funded, All Sewn Up desperately needs funds to buy a new computer for essential administrative work.  If you are able to donate a sum of any size towards this, please contact Imogen Aylen at LMHS, imogenaylen@hotmail.com

The Cinema Museum: Home Movie Day London 2010 - Saturday, October 16th: 11am – 5pm

Home Movie Day London 2010


Home Movie Day is important because our lives, our recollections, and our truth is recorded in home movies.
One day, what the heck, c'mon!
Steve Martin

For the eighth international Home Movie Day on Saturday, October 16 2010, film archivists will take time out of the vaults to help the public enjoy and save their home movies. Home Movie Day shows how home movies on 8mm, Super8, 9.5mm and 16mm offer a unique view of past life in London and of family history. This year the event will be held at the Cinema Museum in Kennington, itself a shrine to the glory days of the cinema and film. It’s a free event, family-friendly and anybody is welcome to attend.

There will be a Film Clinic, staffed by volunteer film archivists from the BBC and the BFI, to which members of the public may bring their films for examination. The archivists will give feedback about the condition of the films, and advice on how to store them properly in the home. Information will also be available on donating films to archives and how to transfer films to DVD for easy home viewing. No appointment necessary.

After examination, the films will be shown by expert projectionists, who will be continuously screening home movies throughout the day. This is the best part of the event, as people get to watch films they may not have seen for decades. In past years we have shown scenes of Crystal Palace just after it burnt down in 1936 and glorious colour holiday films of Tahiti in the 1960s.

Special events throughout the day include celebrated Archers film director Michael Powell's home movies, courtesy of Thelma Schoonmaker and the BFI National Archive, a showcase of films made by well-known amateur filmmaker Captain Zip, a Captain Zip original super 8 film made of last year’s Home Movie Day, and a talk by veteran film archivist David Cleveland about the importance of home movies.

You don’t need to bring a film to attend and enjoy the event; everyone has the chance to win fabulous prizes including BFI DVDs and tickets from Picture House Cinemas and tea and cake are available.

As director John Waters says - "There's no such thing as a bad home movie. These mini-underground opuses are revealing, scary, joyous, always flawed, filled with accidental art and shout from attics and closets all over the world to be seen again. Home Movie Day is an orgy of self-discovery, a chance for family memories to suddenly become show business. If you've got one, whip it out and show it now."

Wicked Plants for Halloween at the Garden Museum

Wicked Plants
Saturday 30 October, 1.30pm
Free with Museum admission (Adults £6 / Concessions £5 / Children FREE)

In this Halloween talk based on her New York Times bestseller Wicked Plants: The Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother and Other Botanical Atrocities, Amy Stewart takes on Mother Nature's most appalling creations. It's an A to Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate, and otherwise offend. Drawing on history, medicine, science, and legend, Stewart presents tales of bloodcurdling botany that will entertain, alarm, and enlighten even the most intrepid gardeners and nature lovers.

Find out which plant killed Abraham Lincoln's mother, which shrub ignited a global war, and what plant has killed 90 million people. From strychnine to
castor bean, from poison sumac to monkshood, from carnivorous plants to weeds that spontaneously combust, Stewart introduces an unforgettable cast
of characters and tells their tales with her own wicked sense of humour.

Amy Stewart lives in California, where she tends her own poison garden and runs an antiquarian book shop with her husband.

Suitable for adults and children 10+

Mothers fight plan to scrap baby care at children's centre

Mothers fight plan to scrap baby care at children's centre

Anna Davis, Education Correspondent
05.10.10

Mothers in Lambeth have launched a campaign to save nursery places for babies at a children's centre.
Parents are protesting against plans to move Kennington Park Children's Centre to the grounds of a nearby school, and proposals to remove the provision of childcare for babies up to the age of two because the centre is not "financially viable".
Parents also fear there would be no community midwife at the new centre if it was relocated to the Henry Fawcett primary school and claim that the consultation over the move was a sham.
Trudy Lister from Streatham, whose two-year-old daughter has been attending the nursery since she was six months, said: "Nursery places are hard to find in the first place and a lot of parents are upset at the loss of places for children under the age of two. The children's centre has been here for 15 years. It has got a good reputation so if it is not broken why fix it?"
Another mother, Charlotte Brooks, said: "Lambeth does not seem to appreciate the value of the service offered by Kennington Park Children's Centre. They should be looking to invest in this service, not to diminish it. Children don't just arrive at the age of two."
Pete Robbins, Lambeth council cabinet member for the Children and Young People's Service, said: "The centre is not closing but one of the options under consideration is a move of services to Henry Fawcett School.
"This option is being considered to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the Children's Centre and to ensure it is more accessible for vulnerable families in the catchment area. If the Children's Centre moves to the school, childcare for under twos would be provided by childminders."

LOST: Sweet 14-week-old kitten named Che

Hi Cathy,

Thank you so much for getting in contact.
I have been feeling like all hope was slipping in getting my little cat back.
Putting my poster on your site will help get the word out
and who knows someone may come forward !
I only had Che for a couple of months but feel like I have lost a member of the family,
he is so sweet and has lots of character.
I'm gutted he is gone.
It was a tragedy as he managed to get out from his cat box (it came undone!) en-route from Camberwell New Road through Kennington Park to Lillian Bayliss School.
I have posted his profile on-line and put posters up as you know along the route.
A little extra publicity from your site would be much appreciated.

Please find below my Missing Cat poster.

Fingers Crossed !

Thanks again

Subject: Short Courses on Muslim Cultures and Civilisations at AKU-ISMC

Dear All
 
I am pleased to inform you that the Aga Khan University’s Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations (AKU-ISMC) is offering three short courses in October and November 2010 titled, ‘Gender and Identity in Muslim Contexts’ (16 October, 2010), ‘Exploring Muslim Cultures’ (12 October – 4 November, 2010) and ‘Muslims in Britain: Uncovering the Past and Debating the Future’ (20 November, 2010).
 
Gender and Identity in Muslim Contexts is being offered in partnership with the Centre for Gender Studies, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. This one-day course will explore the social, economic, religious, and political circumstances that shape gender roles and relations and will cover a range of topics and introduce case studies from Middle East and Europe.
 
Exploring Muslim Cultures provides a good overview of the different historical and cultural aspects of Muslim people. The course will explore spiritual, legal and doctrinal traditions in Muslim history as well as those aspects of culture, such as art, poetry and architecture, which are sometimes seen as peripheral to the presentation of Islam.
 
Muslims in Britain: Uncovering the Past and Debating the Future considers the long and fascinating history of Muslims in Britain and will explore topics such as migration, identity, education, gender, art and media. Anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of what it means to be ‘Muslim in Britain’ will find this course both useful and informative.
 
For more details please visit: http://www.aku.edu/ISMC/shortcourses or please contact nida.kamal@aku.edu. Please feel free to circulate this e-mail or attached poster to your friends/colleagues.
 
Yours sincerely,
