Planning an Exhibition!

Hiya!

So today I wanted to share this with you. I am a Level 3 Photography Student at City College Norwich. We're currently planning an Exhibition on our own (no help from staff etc,). I didn't realise how hard it was to plan and make an Exhibition until we started so, here's the things to consider when planning an Exhibition!

1.) Money

How are you going to get money? Are you going to charge people to enter? Are you going to charge Exhibitors? Can you apply for grants or loans? What we decided to do was, charge everyone who wanted to Exhibit a fee of £7 each, therefore we have a sturdy base of money. Our second way was fundraising. We're planning to do a bake sale, this could generate between £10-£30. We're also planning to do a 'Great Photography Bake Off', this is where people will bring in 1 bake from home and pay to try each bake and vote, we're very competitive so this will be fun... we hope!

2.) Venue

What venue? Is it wheelchair accessible? How much is a daily/weekly/hourly rate? Do they charge for electricity? What's the footfall like? These are the things you have to think about when choosing your venue. We've been struggling to find and agree on a suitable venue. So we're still looking for a venue but we have one in mind.

3.) Name and Date

What will you name it? When could it be? How long will it be? We can't agree on a name. We wanted it to be named something funny but not to do with photography. However we have a time frame in mind.

4.) Work to Exhibit?

Do you have enough people to Exhibit? What we thought is if people put at least 2 pieces in each we'll definitely have enough. We also decided not to take commission if peoples work sell as we felt people deserved to keep the money for their hardwork.




That's what we have thought of to be the biggest things to think of when planning an exhibition.

10 hours of driving?

Hiya!

Yesterday I travelled to Middlesbrough for the WFA Cup game quarter finals. So I wanted to tell you just a bit about my day and how we did.


I left home about 7 am. As soon as we hit the road I fell asleep as usual. I was asleep for abut 95% of the drive there because I was pretty tired. We then arrived at lunch and went to the 'Flaming Grill' which cooked amazing food! We ate yummy burgers and watched the Spurs V Gunners game. After the game we made our way to the venue. We then headed to the venue and speed tested our chairs ready for the game. I started in goal but then came out where we then won 8-0, I scored 4 goals- 3 strikes and 1 penalty. After the game we set off home and had a McFlurry and blueberry muffin. As soon as my head hit my pillow I was zonked!


So we're through to the Semi Finals! However, this weekend we are in Nottingham for Nationals so wish us luck by following @Aspire_PFC on Twitter!

The Best Mothers Day Gift's Guide!

Hiya!

Thursday morning I went shopping for my mum's Mothering Sunday present and struggled quite badly. The items especially for Mothers Day were pretty bog standard, and I felt my mum deserves more than a mug and stickers with Peppa Pig on! So if you really want to treat your mum this Mothering Sunday, take a look at this- Enjoy!








1.) Chocolate and Wine!


Every mum I knows loves chocolate and wine! Why not treat your mum to a box of Ferrero Rocher's (or a box of Thornton's if they have a nut intolerance or don't like them), a bottle of wine weather that be Red, White or Rose- she'll love it! If you're Mum doesn't like alcohol you could buy her a jar of coffee alternative, for example the Douwe Egbert's Smooth Caramel Flavoured Instant Coffee. It comes in a little glass jar and costs roughly £2-£3.

2.) Pamper Voucher


Our mums work so hard! Why not let her relax and recharge with a little bit of pampering? Many beauty salons (nail salons etc,) have a voucher or pamper scheme for presents. Last year my dad brought my mum one for a massage. And if you play your cards right you can sometimes get deals too!


3.) Afternoon Tea
 CAAAAAAKE! Everyone loves cake and a cuppa'! At local hotels they sometime do afternoon tea. You could create your mum a special voucher which you can wrap up or put in an envelope so she'll still have something to open on Mothers Day.

4.) Home Cooking


My mum cooks my dinner every night (well most nights) so why not let her have a day off and take control in the kitchen? You could cook your mum's favourite meal, your treat her to a home cooked 3 course meal- courtesy of you?!


5.) Hampers!


If you want to buy multiple small gifts then why not create a hamper? You can make hampers very easily! All you need is a basket or metal bucket (for presentation), some tissue paper or shredded paper and most importantly presents. I would do a candle one for my mum as she loves candles. I would put in Tealights, a jar candle, candle holders and other candle accessories.


There you have it! These are my top 5 choices of mothers day gifts! If you're stuck and this helped let me know by tweeting me or snapchatting me.

Love ya! Xxx

6 Of My Favourite TV Shows!

Hiya!

So today, I want to talk about my favourite TV shows. When I have the time, I can be a real TV addict, it can be classy TV or complete trash! So here it is, my favourite TV shows!




1.) EastEnders


Set in the east end of London (E20 to be exact), EastEnders is a soap opera show, televised week days apart from Wednesdays. The show was first aired on 19th February 1985 and last year celebrated its 30th Birthday. The show features a lot of common day problems, for example Cystic Fibrosis, Post Partum Psychosis and Alcoholism. EastEnders is very addictive, that's why its my number 1!


  
2.) Holby City


Holby City is another soap opera that is televised on BBC 1 every Tuesday evening. It showcases what an everyday hospital is like, from difficult patients to a doctor and nurse getting it on. The show also features awareness of Cancer's and other illnesses.


(1985-02-19)
3.) Keeping Up With The Kardashians


They're the most famous people in the world! The Kardashians have their own show on E! produced by the family and Ryan Seacrest. The show has had many spin offs like Khloe & Kourtney Take Miami. I love this show, its so trashy that it makes me feel better about myself. I feel nosey as well when watching as I feel like I'm seeing to much into their personal lives, however its very entertaining.




4.) Cake Boss


Cake Boss is the most mouth watering show in the world of food programmes. I love cake. I love eating cake, making cake, thinking of cake... CAAAAAKE! The show features a normal week in the family run bakery, the magnificent cakes and the family goss. You should watch this show if you want to be educated on cake making or if you just love cake.




5.) Celebrity Juice


Keith Lemon hosts this celebrity panel game show with team captains Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby or Gino D'Acampo. The celebs notoriously have drinks hidden under the table, its believed they have a drink so the show is funny. The show is shown on ITV2 at 10pm.






6.) Geordie Shore


So Geordie Shore is reality show where 8 or sometimes more Geordies live in a house for 6 weeks, living the party lifestyle. The show features the life of the Geordies, their arguments and love stories while in the house. There is always an explosive argument because they've had too much to drink, however its very entertaining!






There you have it! Six of my favourite TV shows. Let me know if you liked this sort of thing and I may do this again.

Love ya! Xxx

What if you won the lottery?

Hiya!

How are you all today? I was thinking the other day, what if I won over £1 million. I know exactly what I would spend this on and I'm going to tell you. So sit back, relax and drink a cuppa'.

1.) A spacious bungalow.

Being a wheelchair user, I always spot faults anywhere I go. One of the hardest things living with a disability is having an accessible home. I would buy large bungalow fully adapted for me so I could live comfortably.

2.) Go on holiday

I love going away on holiday. One of my favourite places to go to is America. I think I would book to go to America for a month and chill. I love to shop at the designer outlets, go to universal studios and all the restaurants (especially the Hard Rock Café and Planet Hollywood).

3.) Donate money to my football club

As some of you know, I play powerchair football for Aspire PFC. To run a club it costs at least £10,000. Therefore because I want my sport to survive I would donate some money to my powerchair football club or the league.

4.) Shopping spree!

AAAAND I'm a shopping addict and love clothes so obviously I'd go on a massive shopping spree and buy myself a whole new wardrobe.




That's what I would spend 1 million pounds on. What would you spend that amount of money on? Let me know!

Love ya! Xxx
