"As always, Liz and I are at
pains not to provide misleading information on this website and therefore choose to wait
until jobs are confirmed before announcing them. We cannot always pre-empt publicity on a
project ahead of the producers - sometimes we can merely confirm what is already known in
the public arena. Sorry if this is frustrating for those of you who have caught a whiff of
something going down." Tony Head

'GILES' DEMISE
It's obviously sad because it's the end of a great
character, but the thing we love about Joss is his ability to tell great stories and the
fact that he never shies away from haunting and impactful twists in his plot lines; the
death of Joyce in the TV series gave rise to a catalogue of brilliant stories. Ripper

I VALUE THE ARTS
Tough decisions are being made about public services.
If you value the arts in your community, you need to make
your voice heard. Show the decision-makers that the arts are vital and valued. Pledge your
support and I Value the Arts will keep you informed about plans that could affect arts
provision, nationally and locally to you (and provide practical suggestions on how you can
strengthen the arts in your area). Please get involved by adding your name to the I Value
the Arts Petition by clicking here.
Once a theatre dies, we'll never get it back. We need the
arts - they are part of our well being - if we lose the arts, it will be a very dark
world. Please add your name to the petition - together we'll be heard.

FUNDRAISERS
BIG BILL NEEDS YOUR HELP
1 - 2 year old entire male Chihuahua mix
Weight: 9lbs 10 oz
On Wednesday 25th January this little guy was
run over in Los Angeles. Our wonderful daughter, Emily Head, saw it happen and rushed to
the rescue. With the help of two kind men she managed to catch the terrified and injured
dog and rushed him to a veterinary facility. She was bitten in the process because he was
so scared and in obvious pain. On the way to the vet Emily worked on his ears to stop him
from going into shock and he did not bite her again. He has no ID and we have assumed
financial responsibility for him as we all believe that he deserves a second chance. |
|
Sending him injured to a shelter was not an
option for us and we have paid his bills for x-rays, pain relief and surgery. He sustained
two pelvic fractures in the accident but one will heal without the need for surgical
intervention. He had surgery for the more serious fracture on Thursday and is recovering
well. He is currently boarding at the vets and we are on a fundraising drive to raise more
money for his on-going care.
A possible home has come up in Canada but
obviously he requires some rehabilitation and shots before he will be able to travel.
We are currently looking for an experienced
foster home that can help Bill heal until he is fit for travel and will be organising an
online auction as well so that we can continue to support this little soul.
More details on the auction will be posted
shortly.
If you can help in anyway please email Sarah Fisher or contact my webmaster, Liz Serinken.
Thank you for reading this story.
Best wishes
Anthony Head and Sarah Fisher
