Creative residents showed their own artwork through their house windows. The window art was part of the community project by Sidings Park Area Residents Association.

Residents put their personal designs and artwork on show in over 30 different windows in and around the Budger Street and Ratcliffe Road area of Loughborough.The artwork varied from wood carvings and paintings to embriodary and needlework.

It was grouped in 3 different catagoried 0-10 years, 11 -18 years and 18 plus.

The artwork was on display leading up to a ceremony at Sidings Park on Sunday whens judges awarded prizes to the residents. Allentrants should be congrtulated on their efforts, and hopefully more will enter next year, when they hope to have a sponsor for the event.

S.P.A.R.A. are currently raising funds to install a Bell that is being donated to Sidings Park by Tailor’s Bell Foundry, and then they are looking towards raising a huge sum for a Community Centre that would be an asset to all residents of the area. There are having a Tombola stall at the `Picnic in the Park’ and another at the `Streets Alive’ event on Monday 29^th May, then later in the year they will be holding a Grand Raffle, the first prize of a double bed with mattress, has already been donated. Anyone who would like to donate a prize for any of the events can contact Carol Kirk on 01509 561835.
