Company owner Neil McMakin required a new platform to operate from. Fire & Ice worked with him for the name generation and new look and feel. Cadre Consulting was the choosen name and the new logo has been applied to stationery and the website is currently in progress. www.cadreconsulting.co.uk

First thoughts: Sandwiched between the Radars of Portsdown and the residential houses of Paulsgrove the white of the chalk cuts through a thin blanket of green on the surface.

The view from Safe Nafe’s garden on Rockrose Way is a wall of chalk rising into the sky, seen from another angle in Kris Kerkhofs depiction of the ‘White cliffs of Portsmouth.’ Looking closely there is a white van turning up Lime Grove, resisting the draw of a walk on the dusty path, and two figures on the edge of the green, at first glance people, taking the dog for a walk or just enjoying a stroll on a late summers afternoon, but on closer inspection they look like some kind of inanimate objects, a bin or a sign, the resolution isn’t good enough for me to tell.

My understanding of this place is courtesy of Google earth and occasional journeys down the M27. I can see a landscape built from removal, abandonment, growth, re-colonisation and new life. The wind, the butterflies and the smell of the sea. http://chalkpitart.blogspot.com/

We have been working with the charity and photographer Angus Deuchar to produce the 2010 calendar.

“We hope to produce a calendar every year, featuring different theatre departments. It seemed natural to start with the first people you meet walking into the theatre, the stage door-keepers. Box office next year?”
