Display in Arnold Library

We've put  up a display in Library, hopefully showing how women have featured in the life of Arnold over the last 100 years.

We have women shopkeepers, footballers, headteachers and faith leaders. We haven't captured everyone, so if we have missed someone you know of, comment below and we'll do our best to update the boards before they come down at end of March.

Events kick off!

We hosted our first talk last night. It was about the Friends of the Hobbucks, a group founded by two fantastic women of Arnold. Josie Blackstock from Friends of the Hobbucks came and talked about how the idea took shape in their minds, and how they are developing the area.

It was very inspiring to see how two women have made such a difference to our area.They don't have a website yet, but you can find out more about Nottinghamshire's Community Forest, which is a partner in the project here http://www.greenwoodforest.org.uk/index.php
