The Arts Society Arun Monthly Talk - Sculpture in Britain Today and Tomorrow

The Arts Society Arun, Worthing

Our talk this month is by Ray Warburton who has had a life-long love of art. British sculpture enjoyed a renaissance in the 20th century with Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Elizabeth Frinkleading the way. But who came afterwards and with what effect? Whiteread, Gormley, Hamblin, Kapoor, Long and Nash . After examining their work we review the adornments to the fourth plinth and the Risingstars of British sculpture.

"Oh no it isn't”: a History of Pantomime – presented by Pete Allen

East Preston & Kingston Preservation Society, East Preston, Littlehampton

What is it about pantomime that attracts us to this strange concoction of fairy tales, dance, jokes, songs and cross-dressing? And what is it really like to play the back end of a Pantomime cow?

All this, and the answer to whether something really is behind you, will be answered in this talk about what has become one of the great British Christmas traditions. Pete is the Director of the R. C. Sherriff Trust, an arts charity, and works extensively as a professional theatre director and film-maker. Entry is free for EPKPS members. Visitors £3, payable on entry (cash only).

Policing Sussex – a talk by Mike Scott Rumble

Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington

The first “professional” paid police officers in Sussex appeared in 1836 and by the 1880s the whole of the County was patrolled, though it wasn’t until 1968 that the five separate Forces combined to form Sussex Police. Mike Scott Rumble joined Sussex Police that year as a sixteen-year-old Junior Cadet and stayed for another 32 years. In his talk, he will look at the history of the Forces, including some of the more notable crimes investigated over the years. He’ll also look at the advances in transport, communications and crime detection.
Entry is free for paid-up members of Rustington Heritage Association. Visitors £5 (cash only) payable at the door. All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival.
