	NEW EXHIBITION AT BMC GALLERY ...................................................................................... This month in Brighton Media Centre Gallery you can see the series entitled Working Class Nottingham by Annabelle Le Clercq. "Social documentary inevitably contextualises the reality of life, and in this case, urbanisation and poverty. These images are intentionally vehicles, or processes for 'stripping away'. My images do not aim to contrive any truths; they merely 'exist' in a purist form to hold up to us the mirror of life without privileges. As one whose very status as a student confers privilege, there is a compelling need to avoid glorification and patronage, and a clear divide exists between subject and viewer. I have attempted to depict these children as they are, a combination of innocence and corruption; the inevitability of thier lives is apparent. It is almost as though these children are trapped in the environment within which they have been photographed - thier urban playground." Annabelle Le Clercq 2003 The show also features work from the series 'Close Encounters' For further information please email Emily or call 01273 201371 BRIGHTON COMPANIES IN TOP 100 ......................................................................................

His route will cover a total of 345km, coast to coast across the South Island and will take a total of six days. Richard will be putting in an enormous effort to complete this challenge and to raise a substantial amount of money for the charities he is supporting. Thanks to the generosity of UNISON Holiday Club, every penny Richard raises in sponsorship will go to the charities - not one penny will be used to subsidise his participation. The charities that will benefit for the sponsorship are UNISON Welfare, Community H.E.A.R.T and The National Deaf Children's society.
