Work Experience Day 1 – 23/09/2013

I’m Kelly, an aspiring journalist and writer from Cornwall.

Today marked the beginning of an 8 week work placement with Amour Exhibitions. I took this placement because I’m interested in journalism and events management. My main focus is music journalism, and I’m keen to start my own music magazine in the future, but currently have no experience in running a business. By working with Amour Exhibitions, I’ll have the chance to see how a small business operates and to improve my journalistic skills by writing articles and blogs for the company.

This morning has been spent writing an editorial piece for the company’s upcoming event in South Brent, Devon, which has been emailed to the local newspapers from the South Brent area. The article explained the basic idea behind the company, with a brief insight to the Amour Exhibitions team, a quote from manager Jodie Hawkins on why she started the company, details about the upcoming event and some previous feedback from clients.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be writing blog posts about the work placement, detailing most of the journalistic work that I'm involved with, such as writing newsletters and editorial pieces for events and venues and working on business plans for my own magazine.

Kaths Creative Cakes

I Launched my Cake decorating business from home on October 2011.

In that time I have created unique and delicious cakes for special occasions from weddings, Christmas and Anniversaries.I love traditional designs and creating beautiful lifelike sugar flowers and foliage.But it is really enjoyable and rewarding to design a cake out of the ordinary to celebrate someones hobbies and interests or something that is close to their heart.It is very important to me to make sure that the cakes I produce taste as good as they look so sponges are baked within the week they are required, and rich moist fruit cakes are baked 7 weeks before they are required to allow time for the maturing process with a weekly helping of brandy or orange juice to intensify the flavours and give the cake a wonderful texture.There are popular sponges and fillings that clients request, but I love experimenting with new recipes so during a consultation-

the flavours to best suit my clients for their special day can be agreed.

Cotehele, Saltash

Cotehele’s medieval origins provided a perfect setting for the Edgcumbes to show off their ancestral home to guests, such as King George III in 1789. The Tudor house, with many stories and legends, is festooned with tapestries and adorned with textiles, arms and armour, pewter, brass and old oak furniture. The interior tour has changed little over the years, although the furnishings were titivated as Cotehele continued to inspire its adoring owners.Outside, explore the formally planted terraces, or lose yourself in the Valley Garden, which includes a medieval stewpond and dovecote. Seek tranquillity in the Upper Garden or visit the two orchards planted with local apples and cherries. From early spring flowers to herbaceous borders in high season, to the orchards in the autumn, there is something for everyone all year round in the garden.

Tavistock Town Hall

The Town Hall was designed by Edward Rundle, architect to the 7th Duke of Bedford. It was opened on the 2nd February 1864 with a Grand Ball which went on until 4am as reported by the Tavistock Gazette of the day. The building at the time also housed a Savings Bank, Parish Council offices and a Market Keepers residence. It was built over the site of Mathew Street, Lower Brook Street and Lower Market Street. Constructed of local stone in the Late Perpendicular Gothic style, it boasts a stunning main hall, with panelled walls and a superb maple floor, along with other historic and interesting rooms including the Mayors Parlour. Due to radical new taxation laws in 1910, the Town Hall, along with other local buildings, passed from the 11th Duke of Bedford’s estate into the freehold ownership of the Town Council. Nearly a century later and the building is still serving the community and forms the focal point of the town centre.
