Apart from meeting other members and having your say in the future of SoCo, there is the important business of nominations, accounts and reports (copies of which will be sent out by email to members at the beginning of September). The committee is seeking nominations for the posts of Chair and Co-chair.

Mary Hooper & Elise Liversedge 'Making Sense of Place'An illustrated talk about the public  art projects that they have produced at various locations in Hastings & St.Leonards.  These have all involved members of the community and their responses to the locality have helped to shape the final pieces.

There is an opportunity for Soco members to Exhibit at the Conquest Hospital during the Coastal Currents Festival in September. Soco has been offered the exhibition space at the Conquest Hospital from 15 September - 20 November

We propose to call the exhibition 'THE LIE OF THE LAND' in response to the themes of this year's festival, and it can be interpreted in as broad a manner as you wish.

The show will be preceded by an illustrated talk by Mary Hooper and Elise Liversedge entitled 'Making Sense of Place'.  They will show some of the public art projects they have produced for various areas of Hastings & St.Leonards linked to themes of local history, memory, topography etc.  The talk will take place on Thursday 28th July at 7pm at the Stade Hall, Rock - a - Nore.

The handing in day for the Conquest will be Monday 5th September between 10 - 4.

The exhibition will feature in the Coastal Currents brochure and we will let you have more details asap.

We raised £335 for SoCo with the Art Boot Sale and brunch.
