Today's Poet - Claire Goll (Germany)

Today's Poet is Claire Goll who was born in Nuremberg in 1890 and died in Paris in 1977.

As promised, here are some of the photos from the Exhibition at the Ace Centre in Nelson, Lancashire.

The Exhibition is in the Art Gallery at the Ace Centre, which is on the first floor - there is a lift for those who cannot manage stairs.

If you go by car, parking is free in Nelson but you must have a 'blue parking disk' - these area available free from all shops and also from the Reception Desk at the Ace Centre.

If you travel by train (via Preston - Colne and Nelson is the stop after Brierfield) the Ace Centre is in the centre of town opposite the Library and Town Hall.  You can also see the new War Memorial in Nelson which is outside the Library and is very impressive.

The Ace Centre has a very nice Bistro where you can have a meal from breakfast through to afternoon tea and it is very good indeed.

The Exhibition at the Ace Centre is on until 4th September 2013 and entry is free.  There are explanatory leaflets available to guide you as you look at the panels - which go all the way round the Art Exhibition area.   As this area is normally used for displaying art, we had to put the panels into frames but I think it looks ok - what do you think?

The photos show the entrance to the Exhibition, one of the sections and Kathleen Holyhead and Avril Preston reading some of the panels at the launch on Thursday, 15th August 2013.

I look forward to your feedback!
