13th December, 2010
We wanted to apologise for sending a letter to you, and hope you will understand, we have a number of people who we want to inform of our plans for Fran.
We are arranging for Frances Burges’s funeral to be at:
Putney Vale Crematorium, just off A3 Roehampton Vale ( Kingston Road) at 12.20 on Monday, 20th December, 2010.
We hope you will be able to come. We are sorry it appears rather a difficult place to get to with public transport. There is plenty of parking at the chapel area.
Nearest British Rail station is Putney (from Clapham Junction, Waterloo), and the nearest Tube is East Putney or Southfields (both District Wimbledon)-but you’d need a taxi to the Vale Crematorium from any of these: otherwise buses do pass along the A3 to the Vale supermarket site from which the Crematorium is a shorter walk.
After the service (approx. ½ hour only), we hope you will be able to join us for a light lunch at The Telegraph Pub, Telegraph Rd., SW15 3TU (off Putney Heath Rd. and Wildcroft Rd.) Putney Hill.
We hope that some friends with cars at the funeral service will be able to give others a lift to the Telegraph Pub, so please after the service ask around for a lift. We can all hopefully help each other!
If you are able to come could you please confirm by Thursday evening either by email or ‘phone as we will have to give numbers to the Pub.
We are so sorry that for various reasons some of her friends will not be able to join us. We send them our love and thanks for their good friendship with our Fran.
With best wishes,
Gordon and Hazel Burges

Phillippa Clayden: ‘Young Visions’ 15th July, 6 30pm in the Ballroom at the Royal Festival Hall.
In July this year at the Ballroom in the Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre, as part of a growing arts education partnership between Southwark EiC and the Southbank Centre’s learning & participation department, ‘Young Visions’ artists will be working with dancers and musicians towards a performance involving 400 children who will be designing and creating all their own props, backdrops and costumes. ‘Southwark Splash’ will celebrate 9 exciting years of bringing the best of Southwark’s outstanding performing & teaching talent to the stage with a performance of ‘The First Kiss Of Dawn’.
Young Visions was founded by Phillippa Clayden 28 years ago and currently has a team of 5 practising artists on the team. Previously based in North London, Young Visions has been working with Southwark’s Excellence in the City scheme for the past 3 years. EiC funding has enabled Young Visions to introduce their ethos and unique method of teaching the visual arts to young people and their teachers in Southwark through workshops, inset days and exhibitions. Their work with CLPE (centre for literacy in primary schools) and the Power of Reading project has focused on enriching the reading and writing skills of young people.
VISIONARIES May 20 – June 10 2009
Phillippa Clayden is exhibiting in this show called ‘Visionaries’ or ‘working in the margins’; an exhibition of paintings and performance by artists with a prophetic vision:May 20 - June 10 2009
Wallspace, All Hallows on the Wall,
83 London Wall, London EC2M 5ND

VISIONARIES May 20 - June 10 2009
Touring: August 28 - 31 2009
Greenbelt Arts Festival, Cheltenham
Visionaries brings together artists working in this honourable and challenging tradition, which includes William Blake, Goya and Samuel Palmer - those who explore with passion the territories of the spiritual, the religious and the human condition. The exhibition will include works by a number of painters, who although they are no longer alive, are still hugely influential: Stanley Spencer, Cecil Collins, Norman Adams, Tony Goble and Albert Herbert. They are joined by contemporary artists: Unity Spencer, Peter Howson, Clive Hicks-Jenkins, Paul Martin, Noel White, Brian Whelan, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Harry Adam, Billy Childish, Phillippa Clayden and Adam Neate. The prophetic tradition, with its history of dramatic enactment, is a rich one. Visionaries will therefore include a performance piece by Kit Poulson and David Shillinglaw will paint ‘live’ during the period of the exhibition.
The exhibition has been curated by Wallspace and will be on show at All Hallows on the Wall in the City of London from 20 May to 10 June. It will then travel to Greenbelt Festival, at Cheltenham Race Course for the August Bank Holiday weekend, from 28 to 31 August.
