New mailbox in the Quillets

Message from Cindy at Bridge House.

Hi Yoland I'm not sure if everyone knows there's a new postbox down THE QUILLETS ROAD

That`s the Bridge Field estate to us older residents.   The post box was taken away when changes were made to the pub car park and then to the Bridge Inn.  So it is good that a new one has been put at this end of the village.

Ruyton Village Quiz

Message from Colin Case.

The quiz is ON tonight!

But there is still room for another couple of teams - RATS put tremendous effort into clearing up last night so we have a bit more room than we thought - thanks RATS.
So if anyone has a team just let me know.
We also have a few teams that only have three members - so any singles or couples that would like to make up a team just let me know or come along.
BYOB - bring your own refreshments of whatever sort - though tea & coffee are available in the interval.

We have three super raffle prizes as well - so we are hoping to have a good evening.

See you there,

        Design
        Building
        Hard Landscaping

Calling all Artists

Message from Charlotte Jackson at Qube.

Calling all artists: The Wilfred Owen Commission 

a significant art work sited in Oswestry, Shropshire

 

The Commission

Wilfred Owen is regarded internationally as the true poet of WW1.  His poetry recorded in moving and dramatic language the apocalyptic scale and dreadful circumstances of the slaughter of a generation of young men.  Wilfred's death, just days before the Armistice, was an incalculable loss to the world of literature.

Project Concept

The primary aim of this project is to make a lasting commemoration of Wilfred Owen’s memorable life and poetry in his birthplace of Oswestry, Shropshire and, in the context of the centenary of WW1, to introduce Owen’s poetry to a new generation of people.

 

Oswestry Town Council, working with Qube and The Best of Oswestry, wishes to commemorate the location of the poet's birth. They are in liaison with the local authority at Ors in Northern France who have commemorated the place where Wilfred died by the construction of a stunning memorial incorporating the Forester's House in which Wilfred spent his last night.  They commissioned English artist Simon Patterson to design and French architect Jean-Christophe Denise for construction.  It is a powerful place. 

These two significant artistic statements commemorating Owen's birth and death will be jointly acknowledged in the promotional materials at the two sites and provide a poignant bridge bringing the two closer together.

The Shropshire landscape and particularly the family home, Plas Wilmot in Oswestry where he was born, had a deep significance for the Owen family and was a great influence on Wilfred's formative years as recognised by English Heritage.  Wilfred refers back to it affectionately in his wartime letters and the name Plas Wilmot was used nostalgically by later family members in naming their subsequent dwellings. The Owen family were well established and respected in Oswestry and it is fitting that Wilfred Owen‘s literary achievement should be nationally recognised and commemorated in the town.

Calling all artists! We are now accepting proposals for this project. For a full project brief please email c.jackson@qube-oca.org.uk. Deadline 13th February 2015.

Ruyton Village Quiz

Message from Colin Case.

Only three tables left.
We have a bit less space than normal because the Stage Extension is in place ready for the Panto (Oh yes it is!)

This means we have to occupy all tables to make it worthwhile, so if I can't fill another three tables we will have to cancel - sorry.

Come on neighbouring villages - come and challenge Ruyton to prove you have better brains than ours!!  (If you have)
