Andy Kirkpatrick climbs in some of the most inhospitable
places on Earth, from Greenland to Alaska, Patagonia to Antarctica. On Tuesday 3rd October he gave a talk at the Chrysalis Theatre in Camphill Milton Keynes. Andy talked about where his last finished, arriving in Antarctica dreaming of climbing the “hardest mountain in the world”, before further cold adventures in Alaska, Norway and Patagonia. As with most if not all Andy’s show and talks, Cold Mountain is a mush up of thoughts and experiences, good times as well as bad, laughter and maybe tears, but certainly out of this world.

These are some photographs of a Halloween Party that residents and co-workers had at the Chrysalis Theatre in Camphill Milton Keynes on Saturday 31st October.
What we do know for sure is that Halloween is on the eve of a major Catholic festival, (1st November) and the eve of the pagan Celtic festival known as .
The three days between 31st October and 2nd November see pagan and Christian celebrations intertwined in a fascinating way and is a perfect example of superstition struggling with religious belief.
Currently, it is widely thought that Halloween originated as a pagan Celtic festival of the dead related to the Irish and Scottish Samhain, but there is no evidence that it was connected with the dead in pre-Christian times.

From Wednesday 21st to Saturday 24th October there was 'A Chorus Line' performed at the Chrysalis Theatre in Camphill Milton Keynes.
Here is a synopsis of what was performed.
The time is 1975. The place is a theatre on Broadway, where
an audition is in full swing. Each hopeful auditionee is desperate to get the
job, but none of them are destined to be stars. They’re all just trying to get
into the chorus.
We meet Sheila, an experienced dancer, and fresh-faced Mark.
There’s Val, who has taken drastic action to get noticed, and Cassie, with a
career that’s gone into free fall. Who will the director, Zach, choose to be in
his chorus line?
Company MK worked hard to produce these great night's entertainment.
