Review: Infra-MANC exhibition, CUBE gallery

12 MARCH 2012

On a wave of post-war optimism, Manchester's planners dreamt of visionary infrastructure projects to modernise the city. This exhibition showcases four of the proposed projects' drawings, videos, promotional materials and contemporary newspaper cut-outs. Two of the projects went ahead and two never made it from the draughtsman's drawing board, and have been gathering dust until now.

An evening with the President: fun, frolics and maltesers at the ICE

10 FEBRUARY 2012

This year's ‘Evening with the President’ Event, on 2nd February, started a little belatedly as ICE President Richard Coackley was delayed at a previous engagement with none other than Prince Charles. As excuses for lateness go that’s quite a concrete one (pun semi intentional). The late start did however allow all attendees to take full advantage of the ample refreshments provided with many going back for seconds and, impressively, thirds.
