Tom-the-Almoner's endorsements of the master-elects visit to Leeds

From our Almoner:

The WCCA's Yorkshire Visit to Leeds and Wakefield

As a Yorkshireman I would like to encourage others to make the commitment to this visit - you will not be disappointed.

I know Wakefield as a school resident for 10 years and at a time when Barbara Hepworth was a local star and Henry Moore was not an unknown visitor. The local countryside is as good as any to say the least, and abounds with country mansions; Nostell Priory (Mansion) close to Wakefield, has the finest collection of Chippendale Furniture, all with their original receipts, anywhere in the country. Leeds City Hall is the venue for the internationally renowned annual pianist competition; and of course The Huddersfield Choral Society has a wonderful history, and only one of the many choirs around the County producing The Messiah  every Christmas time. Opera North and Yorkshire Ballet are of a very high standard too - then there are the shopping arcades ......

I attach a cutting from the Times which tells more about the Sculpture .

Best wishes

Tom B
