Cotswolds holiday letting specialist, Character Cottages, today announces “St Mary’s Cottage” as part of its portfolio of luxury Cotswold Cottages. This detached, spacious, three bedroomed holiday home is now available for holiday lets for up to six guests.

Mat Faraday, a Director of Character Cottages, says: “St Mary’s Cottage is a truly exceptional property, set in its own private garden at the end of a quiet lane in the heart of Lower Slaughter, widely regarded as one of England’s most beautiful villages”. The cottage is set back from Copse Hill Road, which was named as the most romantic street in Britain in a 2011 online poll. Despite its tranquil setting, the cottage benefits from having a beautiful country inn and two of the Cotswolds finest restaurants a short stroll away, as well as being ideally placed for exploring the wider Cotswold region. The well known market towns of Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water are both close by, with their wide ranges of pubs, shops and restaurants.

Built to the highest quality from Cotswold stone, with a character in keeping with the village, St Mary’s Cottage has been immaculately furnished in a warm, contemporary style. Mat noted: “The traditional character of the building has been complemented by modern facilities, including wireless internet access, a 3D flatscreen TV and a large, well equipped kitchen/dining room”.

The cottage sleeps a maximum of six people, in three bedrooms, with two bathrooms (one en-suite) and a downstairs cloakroom. Off street parking is available for up to four cars and a garage is available for the storage of bikes. This luxury cottage in the Cotswolds is the perfect place for a family or a group of friends seeking an idyllic rural retreat.

Cory Chisel

Old Believer \ Ōld bǝ-l ēvǝr\ n 1 : one who has been through a lot in their life and hasn’t lost hope 2 : one who doesn’t feel cynical and still feels connected to the world that we’re living in but is wise enough to know a thing or two about it 3 : OLD SOUL Cory Chisel is an old believer. You can hear it in his music – there’s a wisdom beyond his years in that voice. You can see it in his story – the son of a preacher, sheltered from pop music, raised on hymns and Johnny Cash. “Mom played piano and organ, my dad did the preaching, the thing that my sister and I could add to the service was to sing.” As fate would have it, the kid was born to do it. He grew up in the iron range town of Babbit Minnesota, and the rural flatlands of Appleton Wisconsin. Along with the family’s spiritual doctrine came a musician uncle, who taught Cory about the blues: Howlin Wolf, Robert Johnson, Sony Boy Williamson. This musical education put young Cory on a path that was well worn by the greats who came before him and influenced him. People like Cash, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Sam Cooke, and Otis Redding. For Cory, songwriting is a byproduct of existing. We all talk to ourselves. Cory does so with a melody. Those internal conversations are the seeds, the building blocks of his songs. “Where a painter, in order to express himself, would reach for a canvas and paints, I go to the guitar and try to build it out. Or sometimes songs just come fully formed, usually if I’m really sleep-deprived and driving for whatever reason, it’s like a radio station that my brain picks up.” Old Believer is the second LP from Cory Chisel & The Wandering Sons. The record, in Cory’s words, is about rebuilding, and there’s a directness that comes through in the songwriting. “Life is a series of creating things, living with the inevitable destruction of those things, and then finding within yourself the ability to create again.” There’s brutal honesty in the soulful rock of “I’ve Been Accused”. The song suggests that sometimes with personal growth comes unhappiness, but ultimately you’ve got to step up. No pain, no gain. “Never Meant To Love You” is timeless, like something straight out of “The Great American Songbook.” It’s a story of unexpected love, plainly and elegantly told. For “Please Tell Me” Cory says “I went to my guitar instead of going to a phone and sent the message that way.” “Seventeen” deals beautifully with the simple truth of realizing that a certain portion of your life has passed. Cory Chisel is an old believer. The album was recorded in Nashville and produced by a great singer songwriter in his own right, Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs). The two met while making Cory’s first album. They sat down to write a song together, and quickly found they were kindred spirits. “We had just such a common language in the way we attacked music making. Brendan is really great at bringing direction and bringing something out of me that is almost indescribable. He’s also the guy who can get behind the boards and pull it off.” What Benson pulls off is an album of rich, authentic, rock and roll, drawing a straight line between the gospel and the blues of Cory’s youth, and classic rock. He’s able to find the right space and color for each song, whether it’s the dangerous and dark mood of “Foxgloves”, the bright Brill Building meets Graham Nash vibe of “Laura”, or the straight up traditional rollin’ and tumbin’ blues of “Over Jordan”. The sound is filled out by a great cast of Nashville players including Matt Scibilia, Jon Graboff and Brad Pemberton of The Cardinals (Ryan Adams) and The Howlin Brothers. But the thing that truly brings this record to life is Chisel’s long time keyboard player and singing partner Adriel Harris. Their voices fit together magically. It’s a fitting nod to her contribution that Harris opens Old Believers with the gorgeous prologue- “This Is How It Goes.” “I think one of the best things about being a songwriter and about living a life as an artist is that you really don’t get rid of anything, you kind of just like drag it with you the rest of your life and hopefully you can feel that on this record. We’re still dancing with those same inspired moments. This record is a culmination of all that.”

A lifetime achievement award is just that: it signifies an entire life dedicated to a career, and in Bud Smails case, a lifelong love affair with the automotive industry. On April 12th, Clarence B. (Bud) Smail was honored at the Greensburg Country Club for his many years of service.

The event was hosted by the Pennsylvania Automotive Association and also the Greater Pittsburgh Automobile Dealers Association. Bud is a member of both organizations, and is currently the Western Pennsylvania Director for the National Automotive Dealer Association. For numerous years, he has shared his knowledge, experience and insight by serving on countless committees, including the Westmoreland Cultural Trust, Westmoreland County Community College, University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, The Heart Association of Westmoreland Country, and the East Hempfield Lions Club.

“Im still overwhelmed,” said Bud, after the tribute Friday night. Many of Smails family, including his wife Ellen, his brothers Jim and Bill, sons Mark and Jeff, daughter Kathy, friends, employees and business associates attended and celebrated his lifetime achievements.

A Chance to Give – How lotteries for charities and good causes could raise more money, but regulation is holding them back

Joe Saxton – Driver of Ideas, nfpSynergy

The deregulation of charity lotteries has been an issue for decades. While other techiniques have waxed and waned since the financial crisis in 2008, lotteries have continued to bring in the money, yet they are without exception the single most regulated part of fundraising.

Joe Saxton looks at the results of our research into how regulation affects the lottery landscape, conducted with people from across the sector. He'll also detail our recommendations for ensuring this key fundraising tool is no longer stifled by disproportionate regulation, in the hope we can move towards what we're all striving for; more money being raised for good causes.

6.15pm
Youth Engagement and the Highs and Lows of Social Media

Patrick Brennan – Research Director, Amina Ali, Research Assistant and Rob White, Marketing and PR Officer – nfpSynergy

Young people are the donors, volunteers and even staff members of tomorrow. But how much is known about this critical new audience? What do they think of charities and how can you reach them effectively?

Patrick and Amina will look at what influences young people, how they engage with charities and their awareness of different issues. They'll compare it to how young people interact with charities and their social media channels, giving you a great overview of how and where to connect with your future stakeholders. Rob will then talk about the potential perils of social media with a presentation that might make you rethink your internet output.

Building Trust and Confidence in your Charity

Joe Saxton – Driver of Ideas, nfpSynergy

Trust and confidence in charities is as vital as it is volatile. Given that charities don't sell a tangible product to maintain people's trust, it can be difficult to build and maintain, but it is essential to keep donors believing in the sector and to overcome their reasons for not giving.

Joe's second presentation features a raft of our data on trust in institutions and public barriers to donating. It will provide an excellent opportunity to find out why people decide not to give and how charities and the sector as a whole can win, and crucially keep, the trust of the donors that fund them.

7.30pm
