Community Arts Festival coming up this weekend, one of the organisers, No\u00eblle Williamson, has been hard at work creating a \u2018Community Selfie\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>This is a video featuring people from about two dozen locally-based organisations. each reciting a line from a poem. <\/p>\n<p>The chosen poem is \u2018A Fanfare for the Makers\u2019 by Louis MacNeice, and it is a celebration of creativity and rebuilding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Funrun-starters-900x675.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202426\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>There are contributions from firefighters, bell ringers, refuse collectors, parkrunners (pictured above), postal workers, birdwatchers and many more. <\/p>\n<p>Videoing is still ongoing but there is one special segment for families based in Bramley and Stanningley. If you want to take part, get to Bramley Park for 6.25pm tomorrow (Tuesday 12 May). Assemble just inside the Broad Lane entrance opposite the Baths\/Calverley Drive.<\/p>\n<p>No\u00eblle told WLD: \u201cThere will be a prompt board for the lines, so nobody needs to learn anything. And all of the speaking is in unison so nobody has to speak alone.
