New Walls

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011. Published in Art, Craft & Design by Paul Gonella

New Walls is a new alternative art space at the One Eyed Dog in Southsea, they’re aim is to showcase local talent and give them a platform to get their work out there and seen. New Walls want to seek out those artists beavering away and get their work exhibited. The gallery space will change the work on it’s walls quarterly, so they can keep the space fresh and showcase more work by local people. Exhibitions will work on a theme basis so artists, photographers, illustrators, etc have something to work towards and think about what they want to exhibit.

New Walls are currently looking for artists, photographers, designers & illustrators to get involved with their very first exhibition, with the theme of ‘Portraits’. If it’s a self portrait, a story you need to tell or just simply someone’s face you’ve recreated, they would love to see them. You can send your submissions or any questions you may have to info@newwalls.co.uk who can give you more information on how to ensure you work looks as good as possible for exhibition and what will happen next. They can cover the print costs for all work submitted. The final date for submissions that are going to be printed by New Walls is Monday 28th February but if it’s original artwork or prints than the very latest is Monday 7th March.

The launch night for the first exhibition is Thursday 10th March at 6pm.

The 2nd Strong Island Ale – Dry Dock No. 1

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012. Published in Features, Food & Drink, Strong Island by Paul Gonella

As you may know each year we run a home brew competition in February where the winning brew has the opportunity to be brewed by Irving & Co Brewing Co. and sold around the city in the summer. Last year’s brew, the Strong Island Hopper Ale, was hugely successful being one of Inving’s best selling ales and selling out so quickly it went through a second brew run. This year’s winning ale is Dry Dock No. 1, originally brewed by Lee Immins, went on sale in some of Portsmouth and Southsea’s pubs over the weekend.

We spoke to The Hole in The Wall in Southsea who said the new ale went down a storm with it being their best seller on Sunday and with almost two barrels empty by the end of the Bank Holiday weekend. Those guys at the Hole in The Wall and their regular ale drinkers know their stuff so for us this was amazing early news with the ale.

To officially launch Dry Dock No. 1 we are having a launch party with the lovely souls at The Belle Isle on Thursday evening. The ale will be on full flow, come down and try a pint or two. As well as being on sale all around the city the ale will also be available in Chichester’s Belle Isle too, so you can drink it away from home for the first time too.

The Isle Of Wight Randonnee 2012 – Team Strong Island

Monday, May 7th, 2012. Published in Bikes & Cycling, Features by Charlie Thompson

Just over a year ago, a group of Strong Islanders were sat on the Isle of Wight ferry on our way to the yearly Randonnee cycling event; 60 miles around the island spread across 5 checkpoints. Whilst on the crossing we couldn’t help but admire various enthusiasts and their custom team jerseys. Fast forward a year and it is my great pleasure to unveil the Strong Island cycling jersey. Made as a one off for the event, the jersey is our way of representing this city and all the values that come with it. Thanks to the combined designing efforts of Chris Ballingall and Tristan Savage, we were able to produce this clean, retro looking jersey that 11 of Southsea’s finest could wear to conquer the island’s endless hills. Well done chaps.
