Joe Scarborough Paints for PACT
James Burdall, Managing Director at The Norfolk Arms, has commissioned local artist Joe Scarborough to retell the story of The Great Pin Mill Barge Race, to raise funds for PACT.
Joe’s wonderful story telling, humour and images will capture the essence of this most famous race through the eyes of a young cabin boy. The story begins in the flatlands of Pin Mill in
Next April, Joe, with his finished 30 x 44 inch original canvas, will be guest of honour at a specially organised celebration event at The Norfolk Arms.
At an ‘Evening with Joe Scarborough’ the invited audience will hear Joe re-tell the story and inspiration behind this latest painting with one or two entertaining stories from his incredible career.

Editors Notes:
Joe Scarborough is an artist born in Sheffield, England in 1938. He is most famous for painting humorous scenes of Sheffield life - everyday "real" images of the life and people of South Yorkshire.[1]
As a face worker at the Thorpe Hesley colliery, he was inspired to paint by the contrast of the darkness of the mines and the lightness of the real world above the ground.[1]
The original canvas painting will be 30 inches x 44 inches. A special farm will feature in the story of the race and its name is yet to be revealed.
James Burdall, lives in Hangingwater,
PACT (Parents’ Association of Children with Tumours and Leukaemia) was founded in 1977 - with a donation of £113 - when eight parents created a support group for families whose children had cancer. PACT started raising funds for a Christmas party and a summer trip for the children. The charity expanded its remit to include children with leukaemia in 1978 and, as funds were secured, services grew to include new ideas like the provision of equipment and facilities for families.
In 1977 a child with cancer had a 55% chance of being alive 10 years after diagnosis. Today that has improved to more than 75%. However the cost of this is often prolonged and intensive treatment and sadly this is not always successful. PACT continues to be an invaluable source of both practical and emotional support for children and their families throughout their contact with the oncology unit.
Over the last 30 years PACT has continued to raise money to help support the families, and increasingly to support the ward and clinic at the hospital, as well as contributing in an ever-increasing way to the research.

TheNorfolk Arms at Ringinglow is organising a community-based charity event on Sunday 16th August from 11am-6pm in aid of Bluebell Wood Hospice, Whirlow Farm Trust & The Shepherd Wheel Project. Bradwell’s Dairy Ice Cream is sponsoring the event and sampling their new ice cream flavours too! Entry is FREE.

The aim is to celebrate & showcase activities families can enjoy together in the 'Great Outdoors'. The Norfolk Arms is perfectly siituated, with stunning views and open countryside all around, to enjoy everything the great outdoors has to offer.
“The Norfolk Arms has always been a really popular place outdoor lovers stop before, during or after enjoying country or Peak pursuits. So we thought why not shout about this, showcase these activities and give families a great day out at the same time.” says Kate Allatt, Business Development Manager who lives in Dore. "We have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and support from our planned community, charity event especially Flora Owen and The Friends of The Porter Valley."
Families will be able to try out rock climbing, bouncy castles, an inflatable assault course, learn how to make puppets, tools and wood carvings and ride on a fire engine. There will be mountain biking, a photography competition, an opportunity to learn circus crafts and hopefully have a go at dry stone walling. There will be guided family walks around Limb Valley and The Mayfield Valley, along with a guided family bike ride. JE James are running a Turbo Time Challenge on the day, giving advice on bikes and cycle routes and offering some fantastic raffle prizes.
There will be plenty of crafts and activities to entertain the family all day with face painting, mask making, tombola & lucky dip. Parents may be interested to know that there will be a BBQ with beer tent serving cask ales and free live Jazz. Local producers will be selling freshly made cakes and other farm produce. There will be a £1 a go balloon release and tombola with amazing star prizes! ? In short there will be something for everyone!
So why not enter into the spirit of things and try to leave your car at home? Why not arrive by bike, take a walk up limb valley or even take The Round Walk or ride from Endcliffe or Forge dam. Buses are 84 and 284.
Prizes include:
