Oscat is Listing: Stroud Telly News, July 2018

Holly Anderson has lived in Stroud since childhood. She loves the town for its incredible views, higgledy piggledy streets and quirky characters.  She sees Stroud as a place where people create things and ideas, whether through art, craft, invention or activism. Consequently there are always interesting stories to find. Look for Holly boating along the canal and struggling with the locks with her family.

A mother of two, Holly volunteers teaching music to children. She loves their enthusiasm and creativity and ploughs it back into her work as a graphic designer. Holly would like to see more videos about music, science and vegan cooking. So if you’re planning to make anything along those lines, please get shooting!

Look out for her on SCTV’s Facebook and wherever you see Oscat.

If you have ideas for how Oscat can make the Stroudiest awards in Stroud Stroudier, let Oscat know!

The Medallion marked Jimmy’s successful completion of his overseas research as a Churchill Fellow, the research that went into his and his partner Jane Harris’s film on the many different ways bereaved parents respond to the death of a their child – A Love That Never Dies, which we’ve been following for many years.

Jane and Jimmy have gone on to found The Good Grief Project, a bereavement charity dedicated to helping people find ways to express their grief.

It’s the fabulous Fantasy Orchestra of Bristol. They were at the Brunel Goods Shed celebrating 100 years of women’s right to vote.

We showed you their awesome take on Delia Derbyshire’s theme for Doctor Who, but they also performed Ivor Cutler’s Women of the World, and Connie Converse’s Trouble.

Oscat loves Doctor Who, and keeps fish on the TARDIS. Why do you suppose Doctor Six wore a cat badge?

Does anyone else hear the Lalo Schifrin music?

“Tall trees like rattles lean…” Simple walks in the woods reveal surprises.

Dedication’s what you need… and a Stroud Telly mug.

The feet of the ancients wearing the shoes of the new. Stroud roots.

This month: Ruskin Mill – Student Stories: Laura’s Story (from 2014). We like to think Stroud helps everyone find their place.
