Riseholme has been known for it’s ability to host a variety of courses but none seemed quite as exciting as the hands on experience gained from working on the farm. We were fortunate enough to visit the farm today in order to witness the lambing process that takes place around February each year. We were approached by Toni who is the Farm Unit Manager at Riseholme. He is responsible for overseeing everything that happens up at the farm and was a great addition to the team. The team consisted of a camera operator, a presenter and a photographer. Together over the course of 2 days, 2 different teams travelled to the campus to film for the Open Day DVD which would be displayed as prospective students and their parents travelled to the campus. It was great to get a hands-on approach to the process and to see how the farm runs and what is required of a successful lambing season. Lambing starts in mid-February each year and so we were fortunate enough to see many lambs and their mothers on the day. We also gained a lot of information about lambs, sheep and their life circle which made for an interesting shoot

The community dance gala was held at the ArtsNK centre in North Hykeham on Thursday 9th February 2012. The event was held to commemorate the efforts of certain interested groups which included those at the centre as well as performances from Lincoln College students. There was a variety of performances including narrative, hip hop, contemporary and interpretive. Themes included emotions and the use of movement to the word water, the telling of Romeo and Juliet as well as a powerful piece to the Lady Gaga song, Edge of Glory. There were dancers of all ages and abilities at the event from the very young performing hip hop dances with an urban feel to more traditional flamenco dancing, the teens representing contemporary and the older generation with an excellent performance of line dancing. The event was attended by friends and family and lasted for 2 hours.
The university was contacted and a student team were assembled. This consisted of 3 cameras and the necessary team to man them as well a photographer. The event went smoothly with filming and photography taking place during rehearsals as well as the main performance.
