Coming up in October...
Tomato Tomato Symposium - A collection of eccentric subjects
LPAC, Lincoln Performing Arts Centre, University of Lincoln, Brayford Pool, Lincoln, LN6 7TS Wednesday 12th October 2:00pm (1.45 registration) Free Bringing together artists and eclectics from across the UK to explore subjects that are both personal passions and eccentric explorations, the symposium aims to act as a catalyst for thought, as inspiration and introduction. The mix of subjects presented bear no collaborative connection but act as an eccentric explosion of thought processes and behaviours.
Subjects explored will include: Pigeon fancying, collecting hats, windmills, mad hat inventions, champion dog trials among many others.
Speakers include: Victoria Melody, John Plowman, Anthony Schrag, John Flemming Ward (a Spalding inventor) and the World Egg Throwing Championships amongst others. The symposium does not strictly set out to establish the framework of eccentricity and what it means today, but aims to open the door to quirks in the system that may lead to further debate and exploration by the attendees.

An Eccentric Banquet Walker & Bromwich
An exploration of eccentric genealogy Your chance to get involvedDo you come form eccentric lineage, have you grown up hearing the tales of your eccentric forbears? Do you now find yourself taking on the characteristics of an eccentric gene pool; or are you the carrier of tales of eccentric ancestors? Zoe and Neil are hosting a dinner where guests are chosen on their eccentric attributes and invited to recount tales of their eccentric lineage . The meal will be hosted in a top secret venue in Lincolnshire and between each course guests will be invited to recount a tale of eccentricity, something learnt or remembered from distant family history or perhaps their own eccentric behaviour.
If you think you fit the bill and deserve an invitation please send an email to [log in to unmask] stating your eccentric roots and what you would talk about over dinner.
