Crow! is a unique outdoor art event to be launched in Clayfield Copse, Emmer Green, Reading on Saturday 8 September.

Root Toot!, Sapling Child, Foxie, and Hollow Man – these are some of the largescale artworks forming a backdrop for Creator Crow to tell the tale of Crow’s world, of creation and destruction. Crow’s world is the world of nature and balance and beauty – come early and help celebrate it with a woodland walk or a picnic. The event is free, and children are very welcome.

The performances will be at 2.00, 3.00 and 4.00pm.

Help is vitally needed on the day, to direct visitors to the artwork and performance, and to move large (but very light) artworks and parasols. If anyone feels they could volunteer for a 3 x hour slot: 10-1pm, 1-4pm, 4-6pm, it will make the difference between a smooth operation and chaos!

If anyone can help with transporting the pieces from Emmer Green to Clayfield Copse on the morning of 8 September, or again in the evening, that too would be much appreciated.

Crow! is funded by the Arts Council and is the work of local artist Jennifer Leach.

Peppard Lib Dem councillors have welcomed the announcement that Reading Borough Council is to fund improvements to the road network in Caversham Park Village and Emmer Green.

Cllr Annette Hendry commented –

“We have been working with residents for years to secure improvements to the roads and footways in this area, particularly to make conditions safer and more convenient for pedestrians.

Several years ago we launched a petition calling for the pedestrian crossing on Buckingham Drive to be upgraded, which attracted huge support. Due to our continuing pressure I am delighted to say that the Council has at last managed to listen to the people of Emmer Green and to find the necessary funding to enable the work to go ahead.”
