No Limits - No Borders
An arts exhibition at The Flax mill
I hereby invite you to our arts exhibition NO LIMITS - NO BORDERS at the Flax Mill in Derrylane, Dungiven. For the second time we open our doors to top artists exhibiting their work at our historic mill. The mill-cottage is just being prepared for the exhibition. From the 10th to the 24th of December 2008 we will open the door daily and to as many people as would like to see the beautiful and unique pieces of art. I sincerely hope you are going to be one of them. Please find our first press release attached to this letter - it should give you an overview of the exhibiting artists and their work. May I particularly recommend to you the "highlights" of the exhibition, a poetry - reading by Dr. Mark Cooper and special guests and our Christmas - Eve- Dinner. Details of these are also contained in the attached press release. We would be delighted to welcome you at the Flax Mill between December 10th and 24th. For any details, please don't hesitate to contact Hermann at the Mill: 02877742655 Mail: flaxmill(at)gmx.net
Looking forward to seeing you
Yours sincerely
Marion Baur Owner of Flax Mill

Just after the headlines about the "runner" to China by the Ulster Weavers which destroyed 45 jobs in Banbridge and resulted in more hardship for more people who have given their best for years and little to no chance of finding a job in the textile industry, a far less eye-catching report appeared in several papers. For the first time in more than 30 years there is a sales-stall at Belfast's historical St. George's Market which offers Irish linen for sale.
