All proceeds go to Child Victims of Crime and Variety Club children's charities.

Harlow Police FC manager Dave Brown said: “It started out as a friendly kick around but soon grew with the amount of celebrities offering to play and support these charities. They have even offered to stay behind at the end to mingle and sign autographs for people. 

“The game should be really challenging for us as they do have some ex-professional football players.”

Henry Moore: Sheep Exhibition at the Gibberd Gallery

An exhibition of Henry Moore's much loved sheep etching as well as related sculpture and found objects. Moore wrote: "Then I began to realize that underneath all that wool was a body, which moved in its own way, and that each sheep has its individual character." (1980) Henry Moore's representation of sheep are among the most popular of his works, surprising and delighting those discovering them for the first time. He sketched the animal as they grazed in the field surrounding his Hertfordshire studios and they even inspired his monumental bronze sculpture Sheep Piece 1971-72 (LH 627), which can be seen by visiting the Henry Moore Foundation at Perry Green.

Sheep Drive Through London

The main part of the flock that makes up the Harlow Summertime Sheep Trail gets driven across Tower Bridge Monday morning. At 10am, 15 of the sheep, on the back of a customised pick up (a Lamb-orghini?) and the trailer it's pulling, will cross the bridge on their way to town. It's the first time in two years that sheep will cross. In September 2008, some 500 freemen of the City of London exercised their medieval right to raise money for charity.

Four Moore Sculptors

There is little doubt that the sculpture of Henry Moore was an inspiration for the artists of his generation. His assistants, working so closely with the awesome power of the master's sculpture, must have been profoundly affected by it, but nevertheless each of these sculptors has developed individually, making work that is not at all derivative. .

Each makes his own statement in sculptural form. Maybe they share something in common and with Henry Moore, but in no way does this element detract from the validity and individuality of their work. This exhibition demonstrates the differences as well as the strength they have gained from  their contact with Henry Moore.

James Copper, John Farnham, Derek Howarth and Malcolm Woodward - Four Moore Sculptors - have works on display from 1 July to 8 August at Parndon Mill. See their website for more details. The Gallery is open from 10am - 6pm Tuesdays - Fridays, 12 - 4pm Saturday and 2 - 4pm on Sundays.

The wonderful exhibition of work by Harlow artists in the Gibberd Gallery will remain on display until 10 July.

The Gallery, located in Harlow's Civic Centre in The Water Gardens, is open Monday - Friday from 9am - 5pm and on Saturdays from 9am - midday.

At the end of July another exhibition goes on display featuring sixteen graphics taken from drawings made by Henry Moore of sheep in the field outside his studio in Perry Green.
