08/05/2010 to 05/09/2010 EXHIBITION - LOOKING AT LANDSCAPE: COLOURS AND CONTOURS
There are numerous ways of looking at the world around us. The land provides a rich source of inspiration for artists, designers, mapmakers, and many others. This exhibition is a window on some of these diverse ways of seeing. Join us in navigating the various contours and colours, frames, and forms, perspectives and pictures that people use to capture landscape.

10/08/2010 to 29/10/2010 A CIRCLE AND A CENTURY EXHIBITION - PANORAMIC VIEWS OF READING
Using historic photographs from MERL's collections and modern digital photographs taken by Chris Widdows for the Reading Civic Society, this exhibition will present fescinating ad contrasting views of central Reading spanning 360 degrees and 100 years. Archivists at MERL have worked with Reading Civic Society to put together the exhibition, in which the 1895 pictures, reproduced to A3 size, are compared to modern digital photographs taken by local photographer Chris Widdows. The 1895 photos were taken by Dann and Lewis (of 35 Broad Street) a firm founded in 1856 by Reading’s first woman professional photographer. They were taken from the top of the water tower (built in 1820 and demolished around 1900) in Mill Lane. MERL holds 11 of what would have been 12 glass plate negatives - so the search is on for the missing 12th!

01/09/2010 to 10/09/2010 THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES
REGAL PICTUREHOUSE, HENLEY
The shock of the night at the 2010 Oscars came when a little-known film beat THE WHITE RIBBON and A PROPHET to win the Best Foreign-Language Film award. Since then the buzz has been building around THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES. Ricardo Darín (XXY) plays a hardened 1970s homicide detective who becomes obsessed with the brutal rape and murder of a young woman in a tough Buenos Aires neighbourhood. As the investigation uncovers the seedy course of events clouding the case, our protagonist becomes embroiled in a web of deceit and misdirection while battling the personal demons that have begun to surface. More than just a gritty Latin American cop drama, this is an iconic murder mystery with a twist you won’t see coming.

The open day aims to help promote greater understanding of the work of the various departments and specialist roles within the Force. The public will have the opportunity to look around the Force Museum, which is packed with the history of Thames Valley Police, and get the chance to meet some of the officers from the Force’s specialist departments. Admission is £2.50 per adult and under 16s go free. There will be plenty of free parking available. No dogs, except guide dogs, are allowed on site. Disabled access is available. Officers will be on hand to give a personal insight into their role and work; the majority of which the public might not be aware of because it goes on behind-the-scenes. One of the main attractions of the day is the police helicopter which will be manned by the Chiltern Air Support Unit. The Roads Policing department will be present with various vehicles, while the mounted and dog sections will also be in attendance. Displays will take place throughout the day.

Originally set up by the Council to give local farmers and producers an opportunity to sell their produce direct to the public, most will have been grown or processed within 30 miles of West Berkshire. The Farmers' Market supports the local economy, providing healthy fresh food and reducing food miles - the distance food has travelled from where it is produced. In addition, the market provides an opportunity to find out more about issues such as Genetically Modified foods, land management and organic farming.

05/09/2010 FEED THE CHILDREN SAMUEL HOOD MEMORIAL 10k RUN AND 7k WALK
This is the eigth time the event has been held in aid of Feed the Children. Last year over £3,000 was raised for the charity. It is a great rural run, a friendly, local race and the course is interesting and varied. It has a good mix of terrain with wooded paths and traffic free tracks. It is challenging for both the experienced and fun runner. Starting and finishing at Greys Green Golf Course, adjacent to the Ruchetta Restaurant, Peppard Common on the B481 Reading to Nettlebed Road, RG9 5JU, the walk/run is suitable for all the family. For keen athletes and fun runners alike there is a 10K run, which starts at 10.30am and for leisure walkers and families (including the dog!) there is a shorter 7k route starting at 10.35am. Registration for both options commences at 9.30am. There will be trophies to be won by the person or group of people who raise the most sponsorship, the BookRabbit Winners’ shield and medals for the first man, first woman, first boy and first girl (under 16) and everyone who participates receives a certificate. Entry fee for runners is £10 in advance or £12 on the day, walkers, £5 in advance and £6 on the day. All children under 16 are £1. “It would be fantastic this year if we could beat last year’s record fundraising total of over £3,000,” says Feed The Children’s project manager, Sally Brown. “We would love to hear from people who would like to raise sponsorship for the charity. Please ring me on 0118 9320 095 for a form or visit www.feedthechildren.org.uk.” The Peppard Run was renamed Feed The Children (UK)’s Samuel Hood Memorial 10K Peppard Fun Run/7K Walk last year. Sam was a keen runner from an early age and ran the fields and woods around the area for almost 25 years. His familiar jaunty running style never changed, whether he was taking on the ploughed fields and cow pastures of the early years or the more runner-friendly tracks and woodland. Sam particularly relished the challenge of the hilly Peppard Fun Run and for it to take his name on behalf of his family is a fitting memorial. Feed The Children (UK) is first and foremost a children’s charity but it is also a humanitarian and international relief organisation. The charity works both in the UK and around the world in areas of desperate need, developing sustainable communities, providing food, clothing and meeting other life supporting requirements. Administration costs are very low compared with many other charities with 90% of the charity’s donations going towards its work. For more details of Feed The Children’s work visit www.feedthechildren.org.uk.”

06/09/2010 LABOR DAY AT OLD ORLEANS
OLD ORLEANS
Old Orleans is celebrating Labor Day 2010 on Monday 6th September. Booked tables will receive*: 2 for 1 on Alligator Cooler cocktails (excludes pitchers) ...2 for 1 on Voodoo Burgers (and Voodoo Bison Burgers) The chance to win a branded Midori(R) iPod Shuffle. *Not valid in conjunction with any other offer, subject to filling in a voucher. Voucher available to download at http://www.oldorleans.com/home/labour-day/e632517-laborday-voucher.pdf or print the ones here on Facebook. Book now at www.mypartysorted.com or call your local venue. Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September. The first Labor Day in the United States was celebrated on September 5, 1882 in New York City. In the aftermath of the deaths of a number of workers at the hands of the US military and US Marshals during the 1894 Pullman Strike, President Grover Cleveland put reconciliation with Labour as a top political priority. Fearing further conflict, legislation making Labor Day a national holiday was rushed through Congress unanimously and signed into law a mere six days after the end of the strike. Cleveland was also concerned that aligning a US labour holiday with existing international May Day celebrations would stir up negative emotions linked to the Haymarket Affair. All 50 U.S. states have made Labor Day a state holiday. The form for the celebration of Labor Day was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday: A street parade to exhibit to the public

FREE, BUT STRICTLY PRIOR BOOKING ONLY - Jelly is a casual monthly co-working event, where home-workers, freelancers, small business owners and office based people who every now and then want a change can get together with their laptops once a month to meet new people, work, chat, share ideas and ....be inspired together in a social environment.

Jelly was started in the USA and is now increasingly popular in the UK with over 20 active co-working Jelly events already and more starting every month. So if you've ever felt isolated in your home office/ work office and want to meet some other like-minded people in a different work environment, then Jelly is for you.

11/09/2010 ROYALS v CRYSTAL PALACE npower CHAMPIONSHIP
IT'S been a roller-coaster season so far for the Royals - especially at home. They were beaten by Scunthorpe at the Mad Stad in the first league match, then dumped out of the Carling Cup at home by Northampton. Then a so-so draw with Nottingham Forest, so after all their home heroics in the second half of last season, they'll reach mid-September and a date with Crystal Palace, without a home win to their name. It was only last time out, in a 2-1 win at Leicester, that the "real" Royals turned up - and that was with a side wrecked before and during the game by injuries. Hopefully most of the crocks will be on the mend by the time Palace's Eagles fly in aiming for revenge for the double the Royals inflicted on them last season.
