Mark Cram is quite the all-rounder; with both a killer set and strong MCing chops. For the last few years Mark has been plying his comedy trade across the UK. Constantly evolving, usually unpredictable; he is garnering positive reactions everywhere he goes. – “A Masterclass in comedy design” Newbury Weekly News

Kate Martin is ‘brilliantly funny & energetic’ (Angela Barnes) and her ‘confident delivery and slick material’ (Chortle) have quickly established her as one of the most exciting new acts on the circuit. At 6ft 1 and with the longest wingspan in comedy (*probably), Kate’s a naturally engaging, energetic performer with effortlessly tight gags to match. Her unique background in mental health has given her a fresh take on the world, a completely distinctive voice, and fuels her high energy storytelling, whip-smart punchlines and razor-sharp observations of life’s quirks through queer eyes. – ‘Undeniably gifted. Explosive new talent, definitely an act that you will be bragging about seeing early in her career.’ NDC

Daniel Foxx is an award-winning comedian and writer from London. His easy-going delivery and sharp jokes have quickly established him as one of the most exciting new acts on the UK comedy circuit, whilst his comedy sketch videos have earned him a huge online following and millions of views.

From 6th November ‘St Ives colony of artists’, Monday afternoons in Bridport 2pm or Friday afternoons from 10th November, 2pm on line:

The course starts by explaining the history of why artists were attracted to St Ives to paint, Turner for example travelled to west Cornwall to make watercolour sketches and drawings. The quality of the light in West Cornwall remains a factor that draws painters to the area. There was an increase in the number of artists in the later 19c onward, who came to Cornwall when the railway extends to Penzance. St Ives becomes a place artists feel free to experiment in their work, and there is support in the community to do so, from other painters. This leads to a hot bed of modernity in the late 1920’s onwards, with a new visual language developing amidst the painters and sculptors, which is a British version of Modernism; but quite often holds on to very recognisable figurative elements and uses form and colour boldly, responding to the landscape and seascape around the artists. Some of the artists discussed, will be Terry Frost, Bryan Pearce, Rose Hilton, Roger Hilton, Paul Feiler, Wilhelmina Barns- Graham, Peter Lanyon, Karl Weschke, Sven Berlin and the new movement of ceramics of Cornwall and other artists. So exciting was the art of St Ives that it attracted famous artists to visit the colony and some stayed and joined it!

Fee is £65 for 6 wks,

‘drop in’ lectures for £13 each.

Venue United Hall, East Street, Bridport.

Online fee £60.

By 2050 it is estimated that world production of food will need to increase by 70% to feed a population of 9.1 billion.  New kinds of pesticide have been developed which are suitable for organic farming, but which have not yet been adopted by multinational agrochemical companies. The time has come for change.

Insect pests, ranging from malarial mosquitoes to invading Asian hornets and numerous agricultural pests are currently controlled by toxic pesticides. It is a staggering fact that over 40% of all food and fibre produced in the world is lost to field and storage pests. The pesticide market for rice in India alone is estimated at $2.5 billion per annum, the losses of grain in storage in the US amounted to over $2 billion in 2010.

Pollinators, on the other hand, contribute an estimated $217 billion to the costs of global food production and need to be protected from the effects of agrochemicals.

At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder.

Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), “Killers of the Flower Moon” is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal.

Also starring Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is directed by Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, based on David Grann’s best-selling book.
