Travellers at Glasgow Airport on Tuesday 14 February 2012 were treated to an unexpected dance routine reminiscent of quintessential song’n'dance man Gene Kelly, ahead of the retrospective of his films at Glasgow Film Festival. The flashmob entertained passengers with a version of the legendary Singin’ in the Rain dance, which made Kelly an icon. Gene Kelly was one of the greatest all-round talents ever to tap-dance his way across the silver screen. Kelly left an indelible impression on the movies as an actor, director and choreographer which can be seen during Glasgow Film Festival 2012 in all-time classics like Anchors Aweigh (1945), The Pirate (1948), Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1949), On the Town (1949), An American in Paris (1951), Singin’ in the Rain (1952), Brigadoon (1954) and Hello, Dolly (1969) from 18–26 February. The Gene Kelly retrospective is one of nineteen strands at Glasgow Film Festival 2012, which runs from 16 — 26 February.

(PRWEB) August 23, 2006

After securing an order worth over £100,000 as a result of exhibiting at last year’s IOG Scotsturf exhibition, Cleveland Sitesafe, the specialist manufacturer of highly secure all-steel storage and accommodation units, didn’t hesitate in booking a stand at this year’s show in Edinburgh on 8-9 November 2006.

In addition to obtaining a number of high-profile enquiries over the busy two-day show, general manager John Hodgson says the highlight of IOG Scotsturf was the six-figure order to supply a series of Toolsafe storage units for an allotment project in Clydebank.

“Aside from that order and a hatful of enquiries, we were also very impressed with the show overall, which was professionally staged and featured a high level of valued-added content that encouraged busy visitors to spend time away from their daily routines. We are certainly looking forward to this year’s event.”

Cleveland Sitesafe will be joined at the Royal Highland Hall by an extensive list of exhibitors – over 100 of Scotland’s premier suppliers all displaying vehicles, machines, tools, products, services and techniques to enable open space professionals to be more effective in their day-to-day roles.

As well as a number of first-time-on-view products, IOG Scotsturf will also feature informative seminars and discussions covering all the ‘hot button’ topics, as well as a series of live demonstrations.

The New Product & Innovation Awards will again be staged, while the ever-popular Scottish Football Groundsman of the Year Awards are certain to be crowd-pullers. The groundsman awards are open to all groundsmen within the Scottish Premier and Football League Divisions 1, 2 and 3, and has the full support of the Scottish Football Association.

It all adds up to an event that will be bigger and better than every before, and unmissable as ‘Scotland’s own’ open space management show.

The companies that have so far booked stand space at IOG Scotsturf 2006 (http://www.scotsturf.com) include:

[] Alpha Plus Group [] AM Philips Spray Techniques [] Bar Systems/Waste2Water [] Campey Turfcare [] Cleveland Sitesafe [] David Ogilvie Engineering [] Dennis [] Double A [] Eagle Promotions [] Elston Landscapes [] Etesia UK [] Fairways Group [] Fleet Line Markers [] Fraser C Robb [] Garden Innovation Products [] Garfitts Int [] Hunter Grinders [] Irrigation Supplies [] JB Groundscare [] Kubota (UK) [] Lloyds & Co [] Letchworth [] McLays Supplies [] Melvins [] New Holland [] Overton (UK) [] Rigby Taylor [] Record Playground Equipment [] ROSPA [] SGM Group [] Simon Tullett Machinery [] Stewartsturf [] STRI [] Toro [] Totrax [] Trimax Mowing Systems [] Turfmech Machinery [] Tym Int.

Fabrics by Designer Charlotte Moss Debut

at Calico Corners – Calico Home stores

Pretty patterns and updated classics in prints and jacquards arrive from noted designer, author and style-setter Charlotte Moss.

Interior designer Charlotte Moss has spent a lifetime creating elegant and inspired rooms. Now she has brought that signature style to her new collection of 92 decorative fabrics and 75 color-coordinated trims, all available at retail at the Calico Corners – Calico Home stores across the country and online at http://www.calicocorners.com.

With this collection, Moss brings to life her favorite designs in painterly patterns, pretty colors and a wonderful marriage of textures. “I approached this collection almost as if it were a wardrobe for rooms,” explains Moss. “I feel fabrics should be instantly appealing, elegant and comfortable, and adaptable to different rooms and uses.” Making the collection well rounded—with lots of coordinates in wovens and prints and trimmings—was an important goal. “I want to inspire the customer to create her own vision—her look—with enough choices to do it easily and stylishly,” adds Moss.

Many fabrics in the Charlotte Moss collection are inspired by antique textile documents and vintage clothing picked up on her travels. Other patterns are drawn from nature or adapted from motifs that she uses again and again in her residential design work.

Charlotte Moss’ interest in design began when she learned to sew in eighth-grade home economics classes. With saved babysitting money, she stitched up clothing for herself, plus curtains, dust ruffles and slipcovers to redecorate her room. Young Charlotte’s sister was her first client in these ventures. That passion for decorating grew. “Years later, newly married, I sewed and I shopped at Calico Corners,” recalls Moss. Eventually, she left a career marketing tax shelters in New York City when her firm was bought out, cashed a bonus check and started Charlotte Moss Interior Design.

She has been creating a name for herself ever since, with high profile design projects, magazine features, distinctive designer showhouse rooms and seven books published. Charlotte Moss Decorates is the most recent title, also available at Calico.

“We think the fabrics in the Charlotte Moss collection will resonate perfectly with the Calico customer,” notes Lori Cropp, merchandise manager for the 90+ Calico Corners – Calico Home stores. “For the customer who loves traditional design, there are classic patterns, paisleys and vining florals rendered in fresh, updated colors. There is even a design with a printed passementerie border that appears to be a braided trim.” Border prints look novel again, adds Cropp, noting that they can be used for custom window treatments with the border accenting the leading edge of a drapery or the hem of a valance or a bedskirt. The border can also be cut off and appliquéd around the hem of a chair skirt, coverlet or tableskirt.

“For those who prefer a more transitional style,” says Cropp, “there are stylish patterns with graphic elements from baskets and garden gates, wood grain designs and a dramatic ombred strié damask.

“People are often afraid of mixing patterns for fear the result will look too busy,” notes Moss in a recent interview with Architectural Digest. “But I love the conversation that the layering of fabric creates.” With 92 fabrics in the Charlotte Moss collection, there is opportunity for lots of good conversation while creating a beautiful room.
