Welcome to our monthly roundup of news from the community, let’s all keep smiling wide as summers green gives way to yellow, reds and orange - Inspiration for us all.
Dave Shuck’s never been busier on behalf of MASLab than right now with over 1500
followers and associates, plus over five hundred connections around the world sharing our passion for the Arts in relation to Peace, Mental Health and Well Being and the Rehabilitation of those caught up in the Criminal Justice System. During Black History Month our advisors and collaborators have toured the world, delivering effective and innovative workshops, helping to reduce conflict between young people and police and heal the rift between warring parties.
On a local level we have added Errol McGlashan to the team, a talented, actor, poet, and campaigner.
Check out the MASLab landing site and work your way through to see links to some of the fantastic work going on.

Mired in Penda’s Fen
Martin Wall and Richard Clay wish to thank all those who came along to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the first broadcast of the Play for Today 'Penda's Fen' by David Rudkin and Alan Clarke in 1974. A reminder that the film is being screened at the Midlands Art Centre in Birmingham on Sunday 3rd November 2024 at 4.00 pm, very near to the old Pebble Mill studios where it was produced by David Rose. For those who could not make it, Martin and Richard had their event filmed, and the talk will be uploaded for general viewing in the near future.
Once again, many thanks to everyone involved,
Martin
