On Saturday 8th September we celebrated the culmination of 3 years of working in New Bolsover Model Village. The event, organised in partnership with Friends of New Bolsover and Bolsover District, showcased the community projects we have been doing in the Model between 2016 and 2018 with a screening of our Community Filmmakers documentary and launch of the new publication, Whispers from the Model.
The celebration day included an exhibition of project pictures and the unveiling of the new community house at 126 with ribbon cutting and speech by Councillor Tom Munro. Once again Woodheads held hard hat tours for visitors throughout the day and even competed against the residents in a game of tug of war!
It was lovely to see the New Bolsover banner, made by local people and artist Karina Thompson as part of our 2017 Banner and Banter project, taking pride of place in the new community house. The banner will be viewable for future visitors and new residents to the area to enjoy!
