Moorlands Heroes award
We were short-listed for the Moorlands Heroes award (community group section). Although we didn't win we were highly commended and the ceremony at Alton Towers was a good opportunity to spread the word about our work.
Janus & January
The idea of looking backwards & forwards, linking summer & winter, sparked lots of interesting art.
